December 2019 Inland Spousal Application (With or Without OWP)
- Thread starter sep28
- Start date
Was reading on the November Inland and they said some of the November 25th were getting approved. So I am thinking that we will be hearing something in the next 3 weeks.
I also have the same situation. What is the next step after AOR if there is no OWP application?
So your background check is currently ongoing (i.e. they started looking into it). You should eventually receive your medical exam request. The message you currently have (stating that you do not need a medical exam) is standard; they always update it to ''We have sent you a medical exam request'' once you reach that step. The sponsor approval usually arrives after you pass your medical.
So this is the same as the column on the spreadsheet that says "we have started background check.."? Or is that a different step?
Yes, that column refers to the date they started processing your background check.
Please look online about it, seems like since a few months ago you can see in your application "we started processing your bk check" but is a glitch in the system that triggers almost as soon as they send AOR, and that you receive an email when they start processing your bk check for real. Remember that sponsor's elegibility is determined before assesing PA's elegibility. I don't remember the website where they were explaning the glitch in the system but pretty sure if you look you will find it. Cheers
That's partly why I was asking. I didn't get an email, and the sponsor has not been approved yet.
A while. We're still waiting for ours, and our app was received on August 2nd 2019. But I've heard some people say they never got one. Just AIP and DM.
Ahhh ok AOR was on FEB 7th and haven't heard, well anything really. I suppose it's understandable with covid19 and whatnot. Thank you.
I am an October 2019 Inland PR & OWP applicant and received AOR December 24. Was wondering about sponsorship approval. I thought that was early in the process after AOR and was getting worried. This is the first time I've heard that you might not hear anything on sponsorship approval--and that someone else with an older application than mine is still waiting. One of my PR forms was returned to me after AOR, I corrected and set back, but have not heard anything about PR since AOR.

From what I understand, people who get SA seem to get it between medicals passed and AIP.
