This makes me feel better. Because I checked my ECAS yesterday and I saw Decision made for Sponsor's approval and my husband hasn't gotten any mail. I guess we'll wait.
But I have already done Biometrics and medicals for a TRV I applied for that was refused. Please what do you think I should I expect after getting the sponsor's approval mail since I already did biometrics and medicals. What's the next thing for me?
Thanks
I think you will get a medical request. People who have already given biometrics are not receiving biometrics request. However I'm not sure about medical.

Hi. ECAS went to DM on Tuesday afternoon. Sponsor received email less than an hour later. I received BIL on Monday but still hoping to get MR by the end of the week. It seems that there is no particular order in which they are sending stuff out. Fingers crossed that I will get something soon with regards to medical cause I really would like to just make one trip to do both meds and bio.
Congrats. Can you please let us know in which office the file is being transferred.

Hi everyone, seems like July applicants are picking up steam! January was good to my wife and I as we received AOR1, SA, medical request. She had her medical yesterday, hopefully we'll get the results for that soon.

Gave my first try at GCKey today (tried months ago before AOR but no luck). I tried 5 times today but unsuccessful, I'll try again tomorrow.

I've created my signature today, and trying to figure out how many steps are left?? Going by the awesome Excel spreadsheet, seems like: AOR2 (does that just say when it was successfully move to VO office?) background check, passport request/received, decision made, COPR and potentially interview (how common is an interview?). Am i missing anything? Hoping this can all be settled and get her here by summer! Too optimistic?

Best wishes to all!

Congrats. Your medical results should show in gckeys in about 4 days. I had issues with it and eventually got.gckeys to work. Remaining is pretty much what you said. File transfer, eligibility, background, ppr, dm.

NDVO is extremely slow.
Your medical results will show as passed or failed on gckeys.
Once file in NDVO your ecas will change to APPLICATION RECEIVED. Next it will go to PROCESSING. The time between this can be days to weeks to months. After that pre arr, dm ,ppr. What country is the PA?

Having said that, which date to consider for SA approval . The one mentioned in the Mail ? Only after medical will the file be sent to VO or will it be sent before itself?

Ive heard some transfers take a few months. From my experience and a few others I talk to generally two weeks after SA. Now the time from received to processing can be like mine a few days or sometimes weeks.
