Hi Alizia!
Upto what date the rejected applications received by the applicants?

?
Thanks
my dear friend we should understand the procedure of scrutinizing the appplications
NS office collect mails and stemp the applicaitons
after this they put them in Que and they do not open packages
on every Monday they open 800 files to asses the initial eligibility as per there capacity
first step is to check that is the application is complete in all respect if no then
they send back (through postal mail not by email )the complete package along with covering letter back to the applicant. as per different blogs up to 12 MAY, applicants got there package back (refused) this clearly shows that they are working on cases till 17th MAY.
files which are 100 % fine are then evaluated according to the facts given on the application forms
and if they are satisfied then they they present the CC / DDs for charging it up
credit cards are charged immediately while DDs take 4 working days to get charged
after this these applications are send to decision commette
when you call CIO, help desk will give you the date on which decisions are going to be made like now a days
they are working on 3rd MAY cases means they are deciding the fate of 3 MAY and hopefully on thursday or friday some of the applicants will get there first AORs
i think that this information will ease your tensions. becs according to the procedure those applicants who havent got there Package back to there home address are safe till they presented to decision commette
best of luck to all of you
and especially 3rd and 4th MAY cases becz wether we will get AOR or not will be decided in one or two days
