This reason is exactly why I am trying to apply right now, despite submitting my application in October. Guys, if you are single, ready to mingle, have an email address, are between ages of 18 to 54 etc. (i.e you meet the requirements), I suggest you apply. If you haven't received an AOR yet, this might just be your chance to get it ASAP.
Here are couple of reasons why:
- For starters, this seems to be a pilot program for a certain portion of applicants. Therefore, there is likely a special team that will be working through our applications, at least till the AOR stage. So your online application will have immediate attention.
- The pilot program seems to be running only till January for the sub-group. What this essentially means is that not only will your online application have immediate attention but will also be in a much smaller pile. If you apply sooner rather than later, then the higher on this pile you may be. Who knows, you might just get that AOR next week.
So once these reasons clicked in my head, I rushed to the photo studio to get my digital photograph. I created this
thread so feel free to post there if/when you submit the application. A couple of people have already successfully submitted their applications.
