Hi! My application was received on Dec 5th. I got my AOR on January 31. In ecas under spousal approval it says decision made, but I never got an email/mail confirming this. Should I get one?

Also, the PA weas asked to upload biometric fees and an additional police certificate, we did so through the online webform and we got email acknowledgment that it was received on the 11th. How soon after should we expect an additional update aka biometric request /medical request?

I tried adding my case to the google doc but I was having technical difficulties.

Thanks!

My application was received December 5th, I have not received my AOR, but today I was able to link my application using family name and passport info, and it says 'application in progress". This means I should have my AOR any day now?

Any idea on why some folks get their file transferred to Mississauga, while others to their respective VO's. My VO office (NDVO) is known to be notoriously slow.

I was just confused as I thought it was supposed to be done through the embassy, but that's only if I do it from OUTCAN I realised. Guess was still half asleep this morning when I read the letter :D:D

But with my wife's trip coming up, I hope the embassy doesn't take too long to generate the letter. She will be able to get everything done next week but her mother will have to pick it up and send it to me so I can upload it after I get them translated here in the US.

P.S. Just received SA as well. Wohoo, it's moving faster than I thought now :)
good to hear that your application is moving along and you are happy! :)

As well, any of you folks considering applying for a visit visa for the PA?
that is extremely hard but I do see a successful story. Please check the threads related to visitor visa and there are a lot of discussion there.
