It said this in the email they received for Sponsor Approval or did the sponsor receive two separate emails?

We received SA on March 19th and biometrics and medical complete but no mention yet of it being moved to VO.
Its not mentioned if then PA receive something but yeah it was clearly said sent to VO

I read in a British Expat guide to spouse sponsorship that both the PA and the sponsor should have an account on CIC as they send some things to one person and some things to the other - do you guys have two accounts like this?

We thought only one account was needed so I (the sponsor) have one and so far we've received the biometrics and medical request in there and then I received the AOR and SA in emails.

My husband has been trying to link up his CIC account with the application but, of course, he's exceeded the 5 tries a day for two days now. So frustrating when you're copying the information right from your application so you know it's right and it still keeps saying it's wrong (we've tried the trick with putting 2 people instead of 1 applying). We shall keep trying each day until it links.
I know what you're talking about and I was confused in the same way by the same guide :)
So here's my reply. The information in the British Expat guide is incorrect. You can link an application to only one account. And yes, it can be either sponsor's account or PA's one, it does not matter. You do need to use only PA's info though. Please don't be confused about it. Again, even if you're linking an application to sponsor's account, PA's info must be used.
Basically, the difference is only who will be getting emails about any updates. If a sponsor is more into the process and understands it better, then link it to sponsor's account.
If you did link it to one of them and now want to re-link it to another one, you still can do that. But as soon as an application is linked to a new account, an old one will show a message something like "An application has been linked to another account".

Please don't mix this up with ECAS. There it's a different story. You can use it with both sponsor's and PA's info. If you use sponsor's, you see both applications (yes, for CIC they are two separate applications). If you use PA's info, you'll only be able to see PA's application.

And the last thing. You don't have to have accounts at all. Even if you haven't linked an application to any account, you will still be getting all the required information, such as BR, MR, etc, via emails.

And finally :) Even if you've linked an application to an account, you will still be getting some info in just emails (not via an account), such as AOR email, SA email, transferred to VO email, AOR2 email, and some additional docs request can also come as an email and not an account update. And these emails can be sent to both a sponsor and a PA, so please do check both mailboxes so that you don't miss any important request.

I hope this helps :)

Thank you so much. This is very helpful.

We were able to finally link the application to my husband's (the PA) account and yes, you're right, it un-linked the application from my account. It's likely better though that we did re-link it because initially it was linked using my UCI (from the AOR) but we see now that he has a different UCI that was on his biometrics letter. All the information is showing the same that we could see when linked either way so I don't think we've missed anything.

Now to get our application moved to VO! :)

Isn’t the instruction written on your biometric request?
