Interestingly, my partner received AOR yesterday for online application (Jan 31). The new dashboard says "in-progress" for all items. ECAS (old system), says "file not found" (may not be in progress yet). So, does one conclude that the application is 'in-progess' or not?
Also, congratulatons on your oath invite, Raj! You deserve such miracles (rejection on UP, then invite)! :)
ECAS won't show an update until about 24 hours after receiving the AOR email AFAIK. Your partner will be able to see some update on ECAS in a day (or two). It will say "Application Received". The "In Process" status will come at a later date.

And thank you, yes, the UP request being denied first and then being approved was indeed a miracle.

Yes, that's ECAS. Was yours an online application? If yes, then you might not see it on ECAS.

There's another dashboard where you can check status after you get AOR (You need both UCI and Application number) for this : New Citizenship status Dashboard => This is the new dashboard.

Quick question for the group, when you originally submitted your application (online), did you eve get an email of any kind from IRC? I am not talking about AOR, just an email confirming you submitted an application? I never got anything like that and I was wondering if any one did?

I think later online applications did, but I didnt either. If you log back into the application portal, you'll see it show as youve submitted your app already.

I just checked my online application right now, it says “Updated: August 6th, 2021” (today), but all the statuses are still the same - everything in progresss, except for test and citizenship which are still “Not Started”. I wonder what might be going on hmm.

May I know your submission date and date of AOR?

Please advise if the status should be visible both in ECAS (old system) and new tracking system ? We've received our AORs two weeks ago and we have created new tracking accounts and can see our status there. However in the old ECAS it still says that there are no records for us. Is it correct ? And additional question regarding ECAS : is there something valuable comparing to the new tracking system or we could use only the new one and forget about the old ECAS ? I just thought that may be ECAS has more details than just "in progress"
