This might be true because in one of the reply mail to my AOR enquiry they mentioned "During the month of December, processing was paused until the first week of January". They are overloaded with applications. So relax guys, sooner or later we all will get through it. It's just a matter of time and patience. Goodluck everybody
Well actually they dint process any application during that time, but after that they have finished sending AOR for November applicants. This is a pause or slow down after they resumed working. Its three three months they resumed working after December and January break.
They have not stopped sending AOR , but they have slowed down the process. The 3rd December applicant got AOR on 12th April while 8th December applicant have still not got AOR. This means they take 15 days or more for just 5 AOR. The main worry is that all applicants will complete 6 months of DD in June. so the applicants after 15th December will face a new problem, if they dont speed up. Hope they cover it up.
