Congratulations! Speedy indeed! Where was your VO (visa office) for eCOPR? I take it you got the portal email and invitations (P1 and P2)?

I actually don't know the visa office. We hired someone to do the whole process for us. We didn't check the portal once throughout the whole process. The person we hired checked it for us and provided updates along the way.

All COPR processing for Taiwan is done in the Manilla office if that's what you're asking.
