Hello everyone,
My husband is on student visa and I am applying for SOWP, I need your precious advice on following matters.
1. I worked for 1.4 years but now I am unemployed since April 2018. How should I explain this in the Letter of explanation
2. How should I show home ties as I do not have any property.
3. The funds I will show in my account, how should I justify it and how old it should be?

It would mean the world to me if you people can help me out. Thank you very much

Good evening dear. Are you an Inland applicant or Outland? Also, your work permit is it under AIPP?
I also applied for work permit through AIPP on 4th of February, 2019 with an upfront medical. medical passed but don't know the exact date it was passed since then till this moment my app has been under Background processing. Am an Outland applicant.

I got medical exam request i have appointment on Monday.

Please keep posting updates guys after medical it usually doesn’t take much time for visa...
Did you get your OWP? Which comes first your Medical Request or OWP?

In my case I did not receive an AOR, first email they sent me was the Medical Request.

Hello,

I have applied for SOWP visa not through AIPP(Outland applicant).After medical update it will take one week or 10 days once application has been finalized then your status will be changed.

Thanks for your response. In my own case is more than 10 days and counting since my medical was passed. This should be like 3 weeks my medical passed and has been on processing Background. I taught since is AIPP, it should be given the uttermost urgency as stated in our endorsement letter because this document expires after six months.
