    Please Help, American husband and I'm Canadian

    I've literally gotten a few gray hairs in my 30's because of the US immigration process... and the $10,000 we spent could have been used for our sons education fund, nope.. gone. I really don't want to get all political on this, but listening to some of the anti-immigration comments here in the...

    Please Help, American husband and I'm Canadian

    For what it's worth, I married my canadian wife around 3 years ago. We started the immigration process for her right around as we got married, and we have JUST gotten our second denial. We sent in a BOX worth of evidence and paid upward of around $10,000 US on govt and lawyers fees and where...

    ECAS has updated from In Process to DECISION MADE!. Nothing has updated on GCKey yet. I'm assuming that the decision made means I've been approved since I already passed my medicals. :) Will keep you updated !

    According to the timelines for mexico, an outland fam sponsorship processing time is 16 months. If you are already tired of waiting... you're in for a rough ride.

    If you submitted documents through mycic, it should say "Provided" or "Received" rather than "not submitted". If it doesn't say "provided" or "received" then you didn't upload the documents correctly.

    When it comes to the UCI number, make sure your entering the UCI number of the principal applicant, not the sponsor when your trying to link to MyCIC. They are in fact different.

    They sent me the request for additional documentation through mycic (even though such info wasn't required) so your suggestion to stop checking cic daily would have caused delays for us. Juuuust pointing it out. Background check has been changed to in progress. I have lived in 2 states, and...

    My letter said this in MyCIC. So that eMail looks like it's only a money eMail to me. They didn't even say how to submit the birth certificate info. Considering they never eMailed me this letter, and that I needed to submit the birth certificate, with no questions how to submit it I assumed I...

    Well, it's not really reflected. When I uploaded the document, it immediatly switched to provided. "Received" will mean they actually looked at it and processed what I gave them. Provided only means I've uploaded it but nobody has touched it. Don't scare me with months... :o

    Hitting space on City of Birth did the trick! Thank you! For ECAS, the sponsorship side says 1 line now as well like everybody else, but applicant side it added a 3rd line, medicals received. MyCIC Application/profile status Open Review of eligibility Review in Progress Review of medical...

    Wait, there can be different UCI numbers? As the applicant, I've never had anything mailed to me yet.

    1 space would work rather than your actual city of birth? Oh my word.... thanks for the tip, I'll try that and see if that works after my 24 hours are up.

    We are in the same boat... 2 lines in ECAS. One saying App Received, and the other saying they have started processing.
