Hey all,

What is the real AOR2 date? When they send you an e-mail to state that your app is going to VO or when a line in ECAS says ''we started processing your application..''

I received the letter on October 19, and the ECAS update ''we started processing'' on November 24th. Since then, NO NEWS at all, not even the background checking update...

How long does it takes after this message in ECAS? Does it really mean someone is actually working on our case?

What is your VO? AOR2 is when it says "we started processing your application on...". So, your AOR2 is November 24th.

They received my app July 17th. My VO is Mexico.
Unfortunately Mexico is one of the slowest visa offices at the moment. You should prepare to wait for a full year until your application is closed, even if you don't need an interview.

Really.... and why is that :(?
:( I'm sorry. Mexico currently processes applications from more than 10 countries, I think it was something close to 17. Their workload is huge. The statement "we started processing your application on..." just means that they received the application and put it away until someone starts working on it. They do a very quick check to start their communication logs in their system, and then it just sits there until an officer reviews it.

And when you found this information about Mexico VO? I see almost nobody in the google sheet from this VO ...

There is a Mexico thread on this forum, I've seen many cases from there. Most countries (if not all) from central America go through Mexico, and even some countries from South America do too, like Chile and Ecuador, just to name a couple.

Could you send me the Thread? Would be appreciate to follow a little bit... I'm wondering why so much work to Mexico when now they have more delay than before. I know someone got his sponsorship PR after 5 months in 2014.

They have been adding more countries to their processing list. Last year they added Ecuador, which was previously processed through Bogota, Colombia.
