    What did they request in your ADR?

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Nope, nothing at all. This is why I'm skeptical. Pre arrival 10 days after AOR2 without any ADR. Seems odd.

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    ECAS status changed back to In Process with an additional line "we started processing your application on March 15, 2021." November 2019 applicant. File was transferred to LVO in January 2021 but an email to the MP a couple weeks ago revealed that it was actually with Shanghai. So now let's...

    I have not ordered GCMS notes. I figured there would be nothing of value since it was just sent out of CPC Sydney. I will order notes at the end of this month if we don't get an update.

    It used to say in process for most of 2020. It's now changed to application received.

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Unfortunately, yes. I sponsored my wife in November 2019 and we got an email saying our file had been transferred to LVO at the end of January 2021... 14 months of nothing. I recently emailed my MP again and was told that the eligibility checks were being performed in Shanghai. No one...

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    Sounds like you're at the last stretch. Pre arrival is the biggest hurdle and you managed to cross that. Those new documents they requested were just to make sure the situation of your spouse hasn't changed since you applied. They will do a background and criminality check now. You should...

    I did not get a bank statement. I did get an employment letter. I just asked my HR department and they gave it to me the next day.

    I don't think you'll get a notice of assessment that quickly, will you? Mine tend to take a month or more. I would apply with 2019 and if they ask for 2020 then provide it. No point in delaying the submission by a month or more, especially when the process is already taking as long as it is.

    I think they stated the possibility of an interview just as a disclaimer. It doesn't sound like they actually intend on requesting one. I would take it as good news: at least you're out of LVO. Good luck.

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    I contacted my MP and got the typical response that it was because of covid. The only interesting point was that they assured me that my wife's file was still being processed in Sydney, NS and that because of covid the different visa offices and case processing centers tend to share workload...

    Unfortunately there's nothing you can do outside of making a stink with the media. My file was submitted in November 2019 and forwarded to LVO in January 2021, so at least you aren't alone.

    Yes, this. The immigration minister is just putting wool over our eyes. What exactly is the point of increasing in-Canada decision makers? As far as we know the longest part of the process is eligibility and that takes place in a foreign visa office. The 66% increase does nothing to help...

    I got an email on Thursday saying the file has been transferred to London. I also emailed my MP about the status of my wife's file in December and I was told it was being processed in CPC Sydney.

    We'll deal with that when we get there. My foremost concern right now is getting the pre arrival.

    Lol especially on a forum where English is not the first language for the majority of members. Anyway, I just hope Phalos' ghosts start visiting me now. ;)

    SPOUSAL Sponsorship PAKISTAN @ London Visa Office

    My wife's file was finally transferred to London after 14 months. We applied in Nov 2019. This is the longest gap between application submission and transfer to LVO that I have seen. Hopefully the remaining process goes by faster.

    They mean that the sponsor has gotten DM (meaning sponsor approval) but the principal applicant is still in process. This is normal for everybody. If you go to ECAS and put in the sponsor's UCI and info it will show decision made for you too.

    It's now been over one year since I submitted my application and still no AoR2. In October my MP said the application was in CPC Sydney. No idea what's going on.
