****APRIL 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP
- Thread starter andy108

Hello fellow sponsors and principal applicants,
I received this message in my GCkey this morning. (Please see the bold message below.) The message below was not there in the past. Before this is was "In progress". I am assuming this is good news? Can anyone elaborate on this current stage? I know that no application is the same as someone else's, therefore it's impossible to know how much longer the spouse sponsorship application should take.
I requested my ECAS notes and received them last week, after reading the notes, I read that the "criminal check" and "security check" were not started, yet everything else is completed, therefore my question is probable a silly question, but does this mean that they have started the criminal check and security check today?
Latest GCKey message:
"We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you."
Thank you........

I thought this was just a reflection of the latest system update. Are you certain this mean they started background check? I have the same message "We are processing your application. We will send you a message when there is an update or if we need more information from you." but nothing has changed with background check line. It still says we will send you a message when we start your background check... I don't want to get my hopes up. Thanks to anyone who can provide clarification.
Our has said this since August 9th... They have reached out twice now for accompanying documents but it feels like everytime they do we dont hear anything for at least a month.
We did an MP check and I was able to see that some areas were in process but the criminal check had not said that it was started yet
Guys... I just got my husbands passport request... I feel so overwhelmed that I have to ask.. this is it right??? this is the yes??????
Late January and early Feb candidates are getting their pre arrivals and DMs. I think you should expect something in January 2019. Sit tight
