Nice! Haven't used Csharp, but know a lot of other languages and can make sense of most of it.

Well, my knowledge is based on what people report on this forum. I have noticed that ECAS only updates once a day, in the morning on weekdays. I'm not sure if it does on weekends. I don't recall a case where it did.

For test invites, I've only ever seen them being sent on weekdays because those come from the local office. Haven't come accross anyone who received their invite at night time, unlike AORs.

AORs are sent by CPC-Sydney. I believe they were/are working overtime to catch up with the influx of applications.

Again, this is all based on what I've noticed on this forum. I could be wrong.

Yes you are right. I have noticed that but wasn't sure. Thx

Nothing to see here, its one of those unproductive threads with no real information...

There's as much good information here as in any other that tries to predict the future!
