I didn't see any barcode in the email or Annex A.

Anyway, I just got an automatic update thing from mycic, checked it, so from background in progress, now it says, "Final Decision: This application has been approved" and "Application/profile status: Closed"

Maybe someone just did something and mail me back my passport + COPR!
That's awesome news!! So excited for you!!!

I think it might be just for those from visa-exempt countries but not sure exactly. Either way that's awesome if so, sounds like it, congrats!

Hey guys!

Its been a while, glad to hear all the good news :)

I went to Visit my wife in Dominican Republic since I couldn't wait any longer to see her lol I received after the trip, on January 20 a message from my VO in Mexico saying they received the application there and and will start processing but on November 14 ECAS showed that the application started processing. Anyways, My wife (PA) checked her ECAS side this morning and it has a fourth line but it went to the second one stating that acknowledgement of receipt on January 20th.

At least I'm calmer now that they're working on it but what would be the next step after this? Thanks in advance and best of lucks for everyone
No input on this, guys?

She does have one, when I linked the application to her account it removed it from mine though... I put it back on mine account but she Got the email on January 20th too. is it better for her to add the application than me?

it seems like processing of August applicants is a little slow at this time. I got no updates after they've asked me additional documents. Can anyone give me an idea how long will it take after sending additional documents requested? Documents were requested after AOR2. Hope to hear from you guys! Good luck everyone and wishing us all a VISA! :D :D :D
