Seeing as there's no official thread for inland applicants for December 2024, I'll use this thread to give a little update:
My wife got her sponsor eligibility letter (email, rather) a couple of days ago saying she has been approved! Huge relief, another step done. Right now there's only my background check (assuming I'm going to have to wait for a while to hear back about this) and medical exam (hoping to hear back from them about this soon!) left.
Wishing you all good luck, as usual.
Edit: forgot to say that I applied for an OWP in early January, I hope I get a reply soon!
