Really? I was going to msg you or 'wes' for details on exactly when you should receive a FILE number. all I have is a Client ID which we use to check our status online. Maybe we've overlooked it? Where can it be found if so.?

You have to email CHC Islamabad to get your File number from them. Its been 4 months since your file transfer so they would have already created your file number. Do you know the email address for Islamabad embassy and what you are supposed to write in the email ?

Before they used to send AOR letters to the person being sponsored. They don't send the AOR letter anymore, so now people email them to get their Immigration File number.

I waited to receive my husband's file number for 3 months - never got an email from them. then i emailed them and they gave it to me. i dont think they are sending AOR's or emailing file numbers unless if you contact them about it.

But strangely, i tried logging onto ecas with my file number but it wouldn't log me in. tried with receipt number without any problem. I emailed them about it and they just replied back with their usual email - file is in queue for initial review. i wonder if they even read emails. i asked a few other questions too (from my husband's email address) and none were answered. pathetic!

You have to make sure that when you are entering your file number, you are also entering the information of the person being sponsored (Your husbands info: Last Name, DOB, Country of Birth etc). If you enter the sponsors info it wouldn't log you in. Their replies are generic and they don't answer any questions generally in the emails.

Is that so? I didn't know about this. Could you specify. If you WERE to have received a File number would it be sent as a letter? e-mail? on your ecase status when you log-in with client ID...or??? basically what I'm asking is how does everyone receive it? Yes I do have the address and I didnt even know about this so at the moment I dunno what would i exactly write at the top of my head lol. - Also, if you have a client ID to log in to chk ur app status whats the file number used for?

They used to have the file number on the AOR letter they used to send till Sept/Oct 2010. They stopped sending AOR letters after that. So now people email them to get their Immigration file #. The file # is used to check the status on behalf of the person being sponsored while the Client ID# is for the sponsor to check. They usually have more information on the e-case if checked with the File# (but its not necessary, as a few of us still have "Application Received" even after 6 months of file transfer)

Check your PM for the email draft.

when did your status change to decision made?

Also was your PP delivered to your doorstep or u had to pick it up from TCS office?
Our status changed the day we got our Passport. So while I was checking the status online early morning in bed my wife calls me up with the news of receiving the passport. Good timing i guess :)
