I was saying IF your bgc take longer than 3 months.. It's ss. Normally bgc take anywhere from a couple of days to 1 or 2 months. Longer it's ss.

Hi all,

I am trying to sponsor my husband. He is a January 2018 applicant.
His application was sent to Delhi Visa Office in April 2018
Medical was done in March 2018
In July 2018, when I inquired about his application I received an email in August 2018 that his "application awaits an initial review in LONDON"
I never received any emails or letter for file transfer.
In October 2018, they requested more documents to be submitted. I resubmitted requested documents by end of November 2018.
Then on December 14, 2018 I received the Pre-arrival Service email
And on December 21, 2018 the requested 1 more document as they needed for background check.
Ever since, no updates
And on GCKey a lot of information is not updated.

Anyone with similar case?

18 April 2018 applicant , Pre-arrival services received on 26 April 2019 and Background Check started
Hi woyaodeshihulu,

If you don't mind can you please confirm that pre-arrival services should always be received before the BGC as in case My BGC is started since 11th of March 2019 as far as I can know from ECAS but the only letter I received is that they have moved my file to London VO and they have started processing my application all on the same date 11th of March.

Application Received 24 Sep 2108
Bimetrics request 21 Oct 2018
Bimometrics Submitted 24 OCt 2018
Application processing started on 20 Dec 2018
AOR 1 24 Dec 2018
Biometrics Requested 10 Jan 2019
Biometrics submitted 15 Jan 2019
Medicals requested 15 Jan 2019
Sponsorship approval letter 17 Jan 2019
Medicals submitted 23 Jan 2019
File sent to London VO letter 11 March 2019
Started processing application on 11 March 2019
Since then nothing has happened and I did not get any pre-arrival letter or anything as far as I know from the ECAS as I have a representative on my file and I am not able to link the application to my CIC account only getting updates from ECAS?

Any idea if this order is correct ?

Here is my ECAS

  1. We received Amr application for permanent residence on September 24, 2018.
  2. We sent Amr correspondence acknowledging receipt of Amr AlNoury's application(s) on March 11, 2019.
  3. We started processing Amr application on March 11, 2019.
  4. We sent Amr a letter on January 10, 2019. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
  5. We sent Amr medical instructions on January 12, 2019. To avoid delays, please provide us with the information requested as soon as possible. Please consider delays in mail delivery before contacting us.
  6. Medical results have been received.
