I got 2 UCI, the 1st was when I applied tourist visa and I have been using the UCI to check ecas...

The other UCI I have appeared on the email when I received SA...I tried to use this UCI to check my ecas but it doesn't work, it shows an error..

I'm worried..
Hey DandM,
I have two UCIs and File Numbers, one is which I can access with my husbands information, which shows both PA and Sponsorship and the other one was sent with my AOR2 and I can log in with my information only. Try to log in this way.

Got AOR2 form NDVO... ;)
Now, will wait around 1 year without any news :mad: :(
Hi n143,

I saw your note in Feb 2016 spreadsheet. You applied for CSQ right? Any update? Did they already charged the 275 payment in your credit card?

Thanks.

Hope not. This whole process is extremely drawn out. It shouldn't take more than a couple months to process a spouse sponsorship. I mean the criminality and security checks I understand take a bit of time but in the vast majority of cases it should be blatantly obvious the relationship is genuine. My application was 11lbs and we're about to send off another bunch of evidence from our recent holiday in Bali too. They would have to be stupid to question my marriage lol.
I didn't know we could send in more evidence after we submitted our application! Is it worth the headache? I would consider sending in a few more photos from our engagement since only one of them would print out (we waited until the day before submission to print out our photos, procrastination at its best, thus no time to figure out what the error was)...but otherwise I think we have a decent amount of evidence since we visited each other every month after our wedding (including me living with him for 2 1/2 months or so) + conversations, call logs, etc.

Eleven pounds and you wonder why this process is so long?

A lot of it is screen shots of calls and convos.. And even still it would only take a couple hours to review it.

You can send it in a case specific enquiry or print and mail to the embassy. The only reason I am planning to submit more evidence is because Singapore is a tough VO and because we just had another visit.

Also from the little research I've done and the responses I've received here, it doesn't sound like any of us with Ottawa VO will receive AOR2. Or really much of anything until DM.

But as I think was previously mentioned, the process will go relatively quickly. Looking at the outland sheet from 2015 applicants, a couple who applied late November or early December have landed this month. And many others with DM.

Hi all,

Who's applying here for CSQ? Any update? Did they already charged the 275 in your credit card?

Thanks.

It's good to hear that they're moving quickly! I haven't received AOR2 from Ottawa either, so presumably I won't hear any more until they request more documents.

I am too. They received my CSQ application on April 6th. I haven't been charged yet.
mega_option101 sent his on March 22nd and got charged on April 4th, so that's approx two weeks between reception and payment. ;)
