Trouble Linking Application (4 months in)

[egoetc]

App : 03/27
AOR: 07/09
Started processing on 07/09

I've been trying to link my paper application to my online account since the first week after I sent my application in. It says there are no applications with this information found and I find myself always going back to square one. How long does it take to link an app to your online account after AOR? I'm pretty sure I've tried over 200 times now over the course of these last few months.

My application reached Sydney on 12th Oct and I was able to link application on 17th Oct.

I had used information mentioned in below thread:

Please note that workaround mentioned in above thread might no longer be applicable.

Holy crap, you're my saviour!!
While unfortunately it requires me to put my town & place of birth (I thought for sure an officer had maybe misspelled the town name), I always chose application or UCI# with last name - this time around, I did my full name instead and it worked. 4 months of complete frustration officially dissolved. Thanks so much!!
