MARCH 2016 - OUTLAND SPOUSAL APPLICANTS

[Decoy24601]

In Process for both. eCAS never changes to 'Decision Made' for Sponsor side, right?

I don't think it's changed to DM on the sponsor side for anyone. About 4 April people have received SA and none of them had updates in eCAS. eCAS is notoriously inaccurate.

Hello Everyone!

I came across this forum looking for answers and I'm hoping someone can help!

I am a US citizen and my husband is a Canadian citizen. We legally got married a month ago and are about to begin the sponsorship application. Would anyone think it's necessary to apply for the sponsorship through a lawyer or did everyone submit the paperwork and applications on their own?? I began all the paperwork like copies of phone calls, texts, messages, pictures, medical and background check but would it be necessary to spend all the money to get a lawyer? Would it make a difference at all? Also, did anyone receive any replies about their application? What is the average wait time???

I am very anxious about this whole process because we thought it was a simple move. We were not expecting to wait to complete forms and such

Unless you have serious issues like criminality, going through a lawyer or consultant is a waste of money, especially since you're American. The forms are fairly straightforward to fill out and this forum is a great tool for answering questions. Most Americans are processed through Ottawa and are taking roughly 2-5 months right now (that office has recently sped up).

Apply for the FBI background check now. American citizens (and permanent residents) are now allowed to use 3rd party FBI approved channelers again.

I'm also from the US and I applied on April 6th. I'm currently waiting for sponsorship approval, which should come any day now.

Please don't post the same exact question on multiple threads (it's considered rude). I responded to all of your posts.

It completely depends on what visa office is processing the application.

Again, it completely depends on what visa office is processing your application. For the most part only Ottawa and New Delhi have been having fast cases.

But for the few days we didnot get any update on this page,is they stopped the processing and again start for the 2015 applications?

That's not really true. It's normal for people not to hear anything for weeks at a time after SA.
