so just called and got through straight away. turns out calling from oz means you're right at the start of the day!

said its still in processing and its almost done but not quite finished yet. said it could take another few weeks and that the 43 day average right now is not accurate.

Hopefully not another few weeks. She kept mentioning that we need to be aware that as we live overseas we need to provide proof of return which we did but seemed odd she mentioned it, when if that was an issue they would have requested it by now.

Not worried, but would be nice to know!

Best time to call is right at 8am! Called them twice (once at 8am and once at 830am) both times I had to wait only 10 mins to speak to an agent. When I had called them close to 12pm the call could not be connected to an agent because of the high volume of calls. If u don't get through try again after an hour.

nothing to see on the sponsor side seriously; if you do not have a SA yet, your Sponsor side is most likely in process something like that. the reason why i can see mine; i was on the student visa 15 years ago.
the old UCI was working again with this application.

you met a nice agent. At least she informed you what's going on. most of us wasn't told what's going on.
