November 2018 Outland Applicants (Spousal Sponsorship)

[MORGESDREAMS]

Hello jos

If you login to ECAS as the sponsor, you should see a bit below that show's the sponsored person's name then Sponsorship Application Status and Permanent Residence Application Status, in this instance, does your "Sponsorship Application Status" say 'Decision Made'?

If this is the case then the correspondence will be your sponsorship approval email. However, there does seem to be a delay between ECAS changing your status and actually receiving the email in some cases.

With regards to the email change, I submitted my new passport via the web form six days ago and haven't had any sort of acknowledgement email back from them yet either.

If you're really worried about the email change and you've not had anything by tomorrow you may be best calling +1 888 242 2100 to talk to an agent. Thursday/Friday seem to be the best days to get through to them.

Any reason why you can't link your GCKEY account? Are you using a representative?

I thought driving from near Manchester was a journey I'm driving down on Sunday night and booked into a hotel near a tube station.

If you still can't get in tomorrow give them a call and use your application number, they may be able to help you get in. If it says in process on the sponsor side then I'm not sure what the correspondence would be.

Is it an email stating it’s been transferred there? Or them acknowledging they’ve received it?

If it is IRCC stating it’s been sent then that’s the application being moved to your VO. AOR2 is much like AOR1 and it’ll update in ECAS too.

Looking through the forums, some people don't actually get the AOR2 email and only see the update on ECAS. Here's a useful thread for the different stages:

Regardless, it's still great news and your applications progressing well.

It is stating that application is moved to VO

You should get another email stating they've received it, that's AOR2, it may never come though but you'll see an update in ECAS stating they're processing your application:

It's still great news though

Yes, things are moving along nicely now.

I got my Biometrics Request letter today (Feb 15). Prior to this I had only received AOR on Jan 16. Can anyone inform me as to what to expect next and the potential timelines? I’m sponsoring my wife from Pakistan.

I've been following a few peoples timelines and they've had the same route as me. Biometrics, followed by decision made on ECAS the following day.

Wow that’s pretty good to hear. What’s strange is I don’t see any updates on my ECAS but I do see it on my gckey account.

Congrats on DM! Your partner should be getting the SA email soon.

Btw, hubby is on the way home from doing Biometrics. He says it was very, very quiet when he got there at 10:30AM and he managed to get his stuff done in about 20min but he got there just in the nick of time as after he got there the waiting room filled up by a lot. I have a feeling it has to do with it being Friday but still, if you can go earlier in the morning, it'll be better for you! As such, his GCKEY has already been updated as "Complete" on the "Biometrics" part of it! Hopefully we get his med request today or at least within this next week!
