hello I am a bit confused on your statuses. You said that you received AOR 5 days after you submitted your application to Sydney NS. Is that a mistake? Maybe you meant that on March 24th Sydney received your application? You also said that on May 26, today, you received initial assessment. Maybe this means that you actually today received e-mail which tells you that your file was transfered to local visa office.... is that correct? if yes, then your AOR was received today, May 26th. I find it very unrealistic to receive AOR 5 days after submission of the application. Please, clarify this one for us. thank you
