FEBRUARY 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

[TIL]

Hello!
I have been lurking and reading everyone's answers for a while, which are super helpful! Thus I decided it was only fair to add my name into the stats as well - The more the merrier!
Super excited and anxious just as everyone here!

edit:
I really liked how the VO was listed in the spreadsheet but it is now unfortunately replaced with PA's country... Which reminds me, last time I checked I was getting scared a bit as the applicants in January that VO are London, UK, have not received any response meanwhile everyone else were
Any thoughts?

Hi there, I think it'll be ok. Our VO is London and we've just received our AOR1. Our application was received in their office on Feb 4 so with yours received Feb 14 maybe you'll see something in the next two weeks or so. (fingers crossed)

Hello!! I’m from the UK too. I’m actually in Canada though but applied Outland. Sent our application to the address that was on the checklist for Canada. We will find out after AOR2 where everyone’s will be processed (either at PAs VO or within Canada). I was super worried too about the timings as people from the UK in January didn’t have any update, but now they do!! And already somebody from Feb who’s from the UK too has their AOR. My application was received Feb 11th

Hey all! I was just able to link my paper application online! There is a very useful thread for this process. I followed the exact steps and was able to link after many earlier unsuccessful attempts. For all not able to link their applications online, please give this a look. For more info on my application's status, please check my signature.

Hello,

We just received our AOR1 on March 15 and tonight I was able to link our paper application online to get more information. When I clicked on "Check full application status" I see the following under the heading "Details About Your Application Status":

Review of eligibility: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start reviewing your eligibility.
Review of medical results: You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes.
Review of additional documents: We do not need additional documents.
Interview: You do not need an interview. We will send you a message if this changes.
Biometrics: We do not need your fingerprints. We will send you a message if this changes.
Background check: We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
Final decision: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message once the final decision has been made

It seems unlikely to me that my husband wouldn't need a medical, interview, or biometrics so is this just what the details show at the beginning of the process for everyone and we should expect to receive a request for each of these items in the coming weeks/months?

Thanks!

Yes, it is. You'll receive biometric request and med request in the future.

Unless he’s already had a medical exam? If so and it was within 12 months then he won’t need to do another one.

When was your app received?

No he hasn't had a medical exam yet which is why I was surprised to see it say that. Looks like we'll still be getting requests for those things in the future. Now worries. I'm just glad to see that our application is definitely in their hands and being processed now.

Good morning, Is anyone else from the week of February 4th able to see their application on ecas? Thanks

I amened this as a lot of Indian, UK, USA and Philippines applicants were getting sent to Mississauga - so now that column shows your PA's country and there's a column further down that will show the VO you're sent to and the date.

If you're wanting to track other UK users, you can easily do this via the PA country column and then follow it through to the Moved to Visa office column - it all flows with the process now rather than being all over the place.

Edit: I dropped a filtered view in for you, click the filter drop down box and choose UK applicants.
