1) because they have a business to run and clearly your anxiety is not their priority
2) even if they confirmed and told you what you want to know -you'll still be anxious until CIC charges your CC

So patience is the only thing that can help you my friend !
Damn you for being so logical 8)

Who gets the "AOR" e-mail, Sponsor or Parents?
To whoever email address you have given. If you have filled out the use of representative form, it will go to the representative's email address

I guess the struggle is the same for all of us who hired the "big guys". We can only wonder how accurate is the tracker.

I am UPS 6.31. At first I thought, because I paid for before 9AM delivery and CIC opens at 8AM, that it meant 8.31AM and they simply screwed up the time zones. Now, with all the charges happening and a lot of 6.31 still outstanting, I think a 10.31AM (or later) would be a more realistic guess.
Hmmm... it is not about the accuracy of tracker. As per best reasonable estimates UPS was carrying around 1000 apps - believe it or not that's ~150Kg load of apps. Now do you think that it is humanely possible for a courier to dump all that load at a precise time point or for CIC to charge all those apps at the same time ? Obviously, it would have to be done in smaller batches in some sequence. Unless you are absolutely sure that your app was on top of UPS pile, I think you shouldn't worry yet. UPS batch is getting charged , so wait for your turn. Give it some time - if you filled your forms right you should make it to the 10k cap.

I get that 100's of applications won't be all delivered or processed at the same time. Goes without saying! That was never my expectation but, for me, it is about accuracy of the tracker. if they offer a tracker my expectation is that it will allow me to TRACK my package, I expect it to be accurate, otherwise, what is the point of a tracker?

Anyways, my CC was charged today at 8.41!

2 weeks down, 6 years to go!

Hi,rossie,
I am new to this forum. Thank you very much for all the effort. Have you add the 11:40 post that I just mentioned to the ss?
You're welcome, but you have to give me more info, specially your username you used in SS rather than randomly saying "11:40 post". You can actually find yourself (if you remember your username) by using Cell A7 drop-down menu in NEW ENTRY sheet. I couldn't find any username called v2016 or adelas in the SS. Are both of you same persons? :-\
