Hi guys, August 2023 applicant here. I got to know yesterday that my case moved from London visa office to Abu Dhabi Visa Office, through GCMS notes. Others in WhatsApp groups have observed the same when the contacted IRCC. Anyone else on here who had the same happen?

Has anyone whose visa office moved experienced any progress at all? There's no predicting Abu Dhabi Visa Office at all so any insights would be super helpful.

Files are routinely redistributed when one office is under stress and the other one has more capacity.

How often does Abu Dhabi get reassigned spousal sponsorship cases? I'm trying to find threads to find a pattern for how quickly they process those cases and can't seem to find anything.

It's infrequent that they move a bunch of files at once from one office to another. It happens when they've identified capacity - possibly because of moving other responsibilities and programs between other offices, freeing up staff.

So the point is: whatever info you may discover about patterns before they make a wholesale change like this (if that's what it is) may not be indicative of what will happen with yours.

BUT: if they moved a bunch of files at once, it's probably to unblock a logjam.
