Is the FB group open to new members? Our application to sponsor me was finally stamped received Feb 8, 2018 after being returned twice in 4 months! I’m a nervous wreck and sure could use a support group of others easier to navigate! Cheryl E Love
****FEBUARY 2018***** OUTLAND SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP OUTSIDE OF CANADA
- Thread starter J3lib3li
- Start date
Use an app like text now and request Canadian number when prompted! That’s how I got thru to them from US
You can also dial +1 613 944-4000 and choose options 1 (English) 1 and you'll be transferred to the same system as the 1-888 number.
Mine is being processed there too.... I’m hoping it being processed there is a good thing!! Im a US citizen mid 60 married to Canadian also mid 60’s and straightforward app. FBI bcc sent it with original application and have passed medical and sent in Schedule A last month. Cross fingers!!
Any guestimates on how long it takes for the London Visa office to process sponsorship applications for spouses?
April 30. As someone mentioned we need to wait & that is the only thing we should be doing - I gotta go to get a pizza & enjoy it.
Not all visa offices put BGC in process right away. Some only do it very close to the end.
Depending on your visa office it may be quite normal.
Seems like you and I have the same timeline. What’s the date on which your application was received? Mine is 26th February
Oh we are almost the same date. Nope I didn’t, even my application hasn’t been transferred to VO yet. My VO will be London.
What’s your VO? Is your application transferred there already?

5. Schedule A submitted - 12 April

Could you please tell me what happens next and how long will it take?

1) roughly in 45 days (for a typical application) BGC and
2) in 110 days from now you get passport request.
Note: you should not relay on the information I provided as the actual dates could be very different.
Hi Saranya, how did you find out that NDVO has started processing on 16th May? My file got transferred on 27th April, and we have not received any email from NDVO nor has ECAS/GCKey changed any status.
ECAS last line is "Medical results have been received" and nothing after that (note that GCKey says that the medical test has been passed.).
GCKey simply says that "Background check is being processed. We will inform you blah blah documents required."
Should I be worried?
Thanks,
Beef
