Congratulations on the approval. I'm in a similar situation and might have to do this too. Applied since March with the new portal and nothing. Did you re submit the docs or you sent updated things such as the bank statement?
When I met the person I asked some specific questions such as, was your husband in the pool. Did his job apply for him. All those were no, never in the pool, they did nomination paper based so I was confused and came to the forum here.
I really don't know much. I just found someone who said their partner got it that way but haven't received much info so that's why I was also asking. I wanma do it too
So someone with the same crititeria applied and their spouse got through this year. So I'd say go ahead and try. I will try once my partner reaches the 1 year mark.
