Lets hope you are right....just about had a heart attack when OH sent it on to me. Everything seems to have ground to a halt for so many people but hopefully you are right and it'll be OK:fingerscrossed:

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

Thank you LP,

My heart skipped a beat when I came across it too :eek: We all feel so vulnerable:blink: and frustrated :banghead: due to being kept completely in the dark and at CIC's long arms length. We all have our lives on hold (probably more than we would care to admit). Hopefully :fingerscrossed: one day, we will all look back and feel sure that it was all worth it :thumbsup:

:thumbsup: here's to each and every brave applicant who has decided to take a chance on this uncertain and lumpy path (some paths longer than others); than look back in later life and wonder 'what if?':confused::confused:

WELL DONE EVERYONE :starsmile:

Received AOR in the post ,the letter was dated 25/03/2010......Now hoping ECAS will change to "In process" in the coming weeks :fingerscrossed:

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

Great news on the AOR front. :D
Dont hold your breathe on the changing to 'in progress' any time soon...system seems to be stuck going by others who got AOR in Jan/feb 10. AAAhhhh.:ohmy:
never mind, we will get there eventually:fingerscrossed: We are only a few weeks ahead of you, so we will see how it goes
Happy Easter:thumbsup:

thank you !!

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

Hmmmm, so the general consensus is that the system is grinding to a halt?

My application has been 'In process' for 2 months, which is quite a long time for the new stream (apparently people applying under the old stream could have an 'In process' status for years!).

Re: Timeline - FSW application to CIO in Sydney, NS
 

The passport request has finally arrived!!!

I just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone on this forum for all the advice and info which has made the roller coaster ride a bit more bearable.

Hi Guys, I'm new to this forum and have been following this thread with keen interest. I sent my FSW PR application to CIO in January'10 from the UK and had my CC debited on 22/3/10. I still have not heard anything from CIO though. Is this normal? I've gone through all my deleted emails just in case I deleted something from CIO by accident. It's driving me insane! any ideas pleeeeaase.
Thanks
