When ur application reaches the regional local visa office, in our case ndvo, they show app received initially. Later on when an officer picks up our application, it changes to in process. The day it changes is ur aor2 date.
No. Once u send ur application, ur pcc gets locked so u don't have to send again.
PCC is valid for 6 months to 1 yr depending upon the place u stay. Also, they mention it in ur pcc.
I can see an issuance date on the PCC but not an expiry date or duration.
That's okay. If u have submitted ur pcc along with ur app, u don't need to worry if it has expired or not. Anyways in spousal sponsorship, pcc should be the least of ur worries.
I got a new passport issued, so I applied for a new PCC on it. Sent both the new passport and PCC upfront.
I think your file hasn't been assigned to an officer after it was transferred to ndvo. That's why it is in queue for processing. It's neither good or bad news. It just means ur file was received but the work hasn't started.
