I agree with this, but you have to be careful not to "spam" your VO, lol. I would suggest sending one communique with updated proofs, somewhere near 15-20month mark after your AOR, and not multiple proofs every month or something. the 26 month timeline is a real average, so expect your file to come up around that time, and thus help them come to the conclusion that this isn't a MOC when they first look at it.

for my spouse's case, the updated docs request (for the ones with the barcodes) came around the 14th month mark, and then around the 16th month e-cas showed in process, and the whole process took us 23 months.

Although every case is different but you are giving me a hope that i might hear something very soon because for my case it's going to be almost 16 months and my husband did re-med already so the next step is I assume pcc and ppr i hope to get them both very soon!!! Thanks for sharing

you're very welcome, just a quick question, did your PPR letter say letter on top? because mine didn't and in the past I saw they use to stamp URGENT on top, thanks.
Nope. There was no urgent written on that letter.

its good for those ppl who are in interview que because of less proofs sanded when they filled the application. but those people whos cases are very near to be done and they are sending more proofs the VO may put your file in a review que to further investigate your proofs.

The VO is sited in the embassy for tight verfication and trying to find The reason to refuse your application. soo dont try to be oversmart.

Send much proofs when you are applying and those ppls whoes cases are in the final stages dont send anything until requested.

Thanks a lot
