Thank you BCGirl.. I wish you good luck on your application.. Stay patient and calm, hopefully they will issue your husband's visa soon..

Of course you could add my timeline.. My visa office didn't send me any AOR messages, so I don't know when they received our application, they waived the interview and just asked the passport. All I know is they are still doing quick evaluation even though CIC increased their processing times.

Good luck and Best wishes!!
Thanks Galip! Yes, trying my best to stay calm and patient! I also hope they will issue his visa soon :)
May I ask how you eCAS changed? Mine still shows App Received, and honestly, I am finding it a bit depressing!

I added your timeline to the Ankara spreadsheet. It's really good to see Ankara is still processing cases quickly! I hope it will be the same for us and other applicants.

Best wishes again :)

Our eCAS changed to "Decision Made" directly from "Application Received". There was no "in process". But in my opinion eCAS doesn't show the real time actions spending on the immigration applications.

When they changed the processing times from 6 months to 16 months, I was worried. But it didn't affect us. They completed everything around 15-16 weeks after sponsor's approval. I could also say Ankara is one of the fastest V.O for spousal sponsorhip files. But every case is unique and different than others. There are too many factors make the difference, such as different nationalities, backgorund checks, medical issues, previous visa refusals, type of the relationship, proof of the relationship, eligibility of sponsor and sponsored persons etc etc..

Wish you good luck, all the best..

Hi BCgirl2012, did they process the eligibility of PA (client: 1-principal applicant) before transfering it!

Dr Eng X, where can I see this? In "client details" for client 1, I can't see anything about eligibility. I see all of his details there though, including his UCI. Is this the place you are referring to?

On this part it has all fields filled, but status is not started, however due date is early August, 2012, which is obviously in the past. So I'm not sure what to make of it.
How about yours?
