Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
Truth of the matter is that we have hired an immigration consultant as we wanted someone to make sure that all the I´s are dotted and all the T´s are crossed and she receives all the paperwork.
To be fair, Sam is fantastic and sends emails and calls us as soon as she hears anything and yes, she did send an email and phoned to say that she´d received a letter to say that our paperwork had been received. She also send me a copy via email and that dates 11.August 2010.

I note that earlier in this thread there are AOR August/September people adding to this June/July 2010 thread.
It might interest some people to know that there is now an active thread for AOR August/September 2010 .... see you there, and good luck to all

Hi all,
Any one had any news yet re meds? I for one am getting fed up waiting, don't know how people in the old queue do it. I'd have gone nuts if I'd been waiting as long as some of them have.

I'm going to send an email to my lawyer to ask if he thinks it will be much longer, may as well ask how long a piece of string is
Martin99 got his visa in 7 months I think, so we were quite hopeful when we applied in January that we would be in Canada by Christmas. It looks like things are moving again but the waiting is driving me nuts
we all hear something soon.

I think with Martin, 08/09 were the 'golden years' - however, towards the end of 09, and with the impending changes to the FSW, i think there has been a overload in applications. London office handling Pakistan applications hasn't helped neither.
Ho hum... i was expecting some movement too - i have until March from my AOR to send an email 'nudge' as stipulated in the AOR letter - and till July for the 12 months to process.
I've still got my fingers cross i'll be celebrating xmas in Canada this year, but lets see what transpires.

P.S - i got really excited when i saw this thread had updates!

Re: MapleSauce
Me too I check straight away, I thought things were moving!!!
Anyway, I'm still waiting but I spoke to someone in the March / April Thread and they sent an email to the London office last week and he told me, he would let me know what happens.... I will report to this thread as soon as I know...
BUT yeah, I'm crazy fed up of waiting.... My girlfriend (who is in Toronto) is on my case everyday...
COME ON EASE MY PAIN - GIVE ME MED REQUESTS!!!

I am one of the people Fridgedesign has been chatting with: We are May 24th AOR and sent the email to London last week. We got the same standard reply from them that another March 30th AOR received a week before use.

Re: AOR from London June/July 2010 - Progress updates
We're early July AOR-ers, and are just sitting back and waiting (I did perk up too a little when I saw this thread had woken up!). There's nothing we can do to speed the process up, and thinking about it constantly would just wind us up. I check ecas daily, and two or three times on a Tuesday, but I don't get wound up, it doesn't do any good. All I would say is that every time someone sends a "what's happening to my application?" email, it delays everyone's application a little more whilst the visa officer replies.
I'll start thinking about sending one when the 8 months is up - 6 more weeks at least...
