Hello,

I (applicant) and my husband (sponsor) sent our spousal PR application last week to the immigration. What should I expect the next?

Hi I have send my file on Jan 27th 2018.
They received on Jan 30 2018.
Medical was requested on April 17th 2018
Medical was done on April 29th 2018
Medical was passed on May 2nd 2018.
I received a letter stating that my file have been forwarded to NDVO for further processing. Letter is date on May 18 2018.

How long does it take from this point.

1. When I call and check status automated system says:
2. We are reviewing your eligibility
3. We are reviewing the additional document you provided
3. Medical test have been passed
4. We do not need an interview (we will let you know if this changes)
5. We are processing your background check.

Ecas says:
  1. We received your application for permanent residence on January 30, 2018.
  2. We started processing your application on May 22, 2018.
  3. We sent you correspondence on March 27, 2018. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
  4. Medical results have been received.


How long you guys are anticipating for your file? I see my file is little bit behind than others. Anyone would know any reason.
Very similar to my timeline but i have no access to mycic account coz i m using representative but ecas stating same as urs. I think you dint get Aor2 either right?my medicals are passed too.

Thanks for replying, Berv7! However, could you please tell me what is AOR and what does it stand for?
And you will be provided the UCI number for ur file and file number. So that you can link your file to cic with MYCIC account if you dont use representative.

Since we are using a representative for our case, how do we gauge the progress of our file?

Just stay in touch with your lawyer or representative they will give you updates. Or u can check your ECAS by using uci number and sponsore info Like date of birth and place of birth.

Forgive me as am asking too many questions.

1) What is ECAS and what does that stand for?
2) Can you please share the link to check ECAS?

Hey guys I know this is NDVO 2018 applicants but I hope this helps just to understand the duration of the whole process at this time

Final list of dates:

Application received: June 9th, 2017
Aor2: Sept 18th, 2017
BGC in process status change: feb 27, 2018
DM and Pre-arrival email: May 11th, 2018
PPR: May 14th, 2018
Passport dropped off at local VFS: May 15,2018
Passport dispatched from Delhi: May 22, 2018
Passport received through blue dart: May 24
Ticket booked for: May 30th, 2018

In regards to status changes: our gckey kept stating that additional documents were required this whole time.... i haven’t checked it now but i do know that till we got dm it was saying we need more documents, even after receiving notes it hadn’t changed. BGC status changing doesn’t mean you will get dm after three days lol found that out the hard way. I know everyone asks what to say when landing process is going on and how much money to bring etc. According to my representative, you don’t need to bring a minimum amount it’s whatever you want. Gold you can bring it they’ll ask you about your valuables etc you can tell them. There is no maximum amount allocated that you can bring. Questions he said usually they don’t ask, if they do it’s about the spouse, where they work, where you are going to stay, who is coming to pick you up pretty basic stuff.

Just a humble request, i know people start jumping down throats due to Frustration, but please try to understand that maybe they don’t have anyone near them who they can share their feelings with and this might be the only outlet. This forum really helped me stay somewhat sane this is a long process and it takes a village to get you through this...shout out to Upkar Singh thanks for always helping me!
