Have your husband's served in the military? I've heard that you need permission from the egyptian military to travel before leaving egypt.

Congratulations. We didn't get any new updates after our call.
Thank you. Hope you hear soon! Husband is the sponsor so as a dual citizen (also an only son and over 30), he is exempt from military on all fronts. If your husband is only temporarily exempt (eg due to studies), I believe he will need to apply for a travel permit.

What dose Ecas and GCKey profile show as status of your application?

On the other hand, TRV and the Sponsorship are two different process and IRCC process the two differently when it comes to checks and eligibility.

So you didn't receive any communication from Cairo office (AOR2, additional document requests, etc.)

Did you tried to order GCMS note about your file or used a webfrom or email to Cairo office to get any updates after being transfer to Cairo. If no then you should consider inquiring about you application from Cairo office it is already 12 months at least they should share with you what is happening.

How is it transfered to Cairo but still in Sydney? That doesn't make sense. But it's not unusual for Cairo office to be completely silent for a while - we didn't hear from them for 8 months after our file was transfered.

They just replied on a webform i sent on Feb 8 to tell me that the information i provided differs from my file and needed a whole load of info about my file to answer my question :(

Congratulations, it is usually a matter of days or maybe few weeks till you get passport request.
The sponsor being in Egypt has no impact on your approval status.

What was your time line?
