Hi Purkoni,

My own opinion is : The date when Buffalo sent you a new file number ( 2nd AOR) - that's the start of the countdown.

As per CIC manuals - The date when CIO, NS transfers the application to VO. This is also called lock-in date.

As per following link - From the date VO receives your complete application.
