Here's a little input, haven't posted for a looong time, but sponsored my US wife and 15 year old step-daughter last December as well. I'm living here in Canada, citizen all my life, going back and forth to the US each month to be with them.
I was approved as a sponsor in February, and have been following any updates, using her UCI number on her end. My UCI is not working anymore, and think it's pulled from the system, or I just screwed up trying to log in a few months ago?
This is the info that's been posted when checking her status with her UCI #
1-Application received December 31/2012
2-Medical results have been received
3-And today- 'We started processing your application Nov 15' appeared
Decision made on the left hand panel has been there for a few months now, along with the first 2 lines of information they posted on the right panel.
She was asked for a document from the daughters real father ( supplied it) and a scanned copy of passports on June 27/13, which we supplied within days, and they received.
So, where might we stand now, with today's update (#3) from them?
