Hello Everyone.

I applied for spouse PR for my wife. Dropped the file on 3rd March 2020 and Just received information regarding the package is received. No reference number generated so far and no email received its been more than 5 weeks now.

Is there anyone dropped on march first week and no email yet?? Is that true they stopped processing the application for now due to Covid 19 issue?? Is there any number to reach and find out the status of my application since there is on reference number is there any alternate way to find my application details??

Also,

I just moved to new house in April and kind of worried about the status of my application.

Thank you and Appreciate your help in advance.

This is normal. It normally takes 6-8 weeks to receive the file number after your application received.

No, it is not true that they have stopped application processing. However it is reasonable to expect that processing is a bit delayed right now.

Hi there. I got signature delivery receipt of my inland application on February 25. I haven't got AOR yet either, and according the the 2020 spreadsheet the last people to get them were a few people people who had their apps received on Feb 21, about 3 weeks ago.

I don't know how they are actual handling this, but I'm hoping we can see another large batch of people receiving AORs by the end of this month to match the batch they did on April 30th.
