Inland applicant here. It's been about 60+ days since I applied. I have received the AOR, but I still haven't received any instruction to pay for Biometric fees. My client ID still begins with CAN instead of UCI.

I'm thinking of applying for BOWP as my work permit is going to expire next year. Should I wait until I have given my biometrics and my client ID begins with UCI, or am I eligible to apply at anytime since I have already received the AOR?
 
I always do it around 4.30~4.45 pm EST, then chose the option for them to call back, then wait for 20 minutes. I could be lucky I guess. Otherwise it has to be the first thing in the morning but we have to be really fast and accurate with all the keypad input.
Can you share contact number to be called.

I know a friend who is currently stuck in this same stage as mine for more than 90 days - so really not sure what to expect.
Every case seems to be different - there are no trends seen to be honest.
