I might be wrong, but I think they said, they would not return incomplete applications or something like that due to covid. I think they will just ask you for supplemental things they require. Don't quote me on this, buts its just what I have been reading.
MARCH 2020 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship
- Thread starter sk2020
- Start date
I have also read that they wont be returning incomplete applications received during pandemic , not sure what's gonna be the process there.
The general process is that they mail the whole application back to the sponsor if its missing any documents or signatures. They email the AOR if the application is complete.
We don't have many examples of how they will do this in practice. The instructions I believe also said that applicants should note which documents are missjng due to covid.
And they said nothing about, for example, if an application is filled out incorrectly.
So I don't think one can rely on applications not being returned.
As far as I am aware, if they do return, it is by post and with no email.
I should have specified that we were able to get all the documentation in because we mailed it right before covid hit and shut things done. So more looking for if there’s a wrong answer somewhere on the forms does that get returned by mail with no email or so they just email to ask you to correct the incorrect field?
Only real answer is No-one knows and would depend on the error. I recall, for example, that some have been returned for not being signed properly.
I'm not suggesting that they will - but for the poster, the bottom line is that they cannot be sure until they receive the AOR1.
Certainly in the case of trivial errors or oversights they seem to be reasonable. But signatures - for example - have legal meaning and they can be more strict.
Would it be a good move/worth trying to apply for TRV/Visitor Visa considering the delay in our Spousal Application?
The online applications are being processed pretty quick. I wonder if they will go easy.

Trying it you won't lose anything, but just read the comments before. Processing times now are more than 4 months, sometimes they make exceptions and they refuse it the next day without reading the application.
I'd say chances to get it are 1% for the spouses, it depends about the mood of the officiant that day.
I tried 7 weeks ago and still no answers and each week they add 7 days more to the general processing time of the website. My hopes to get the answer before november are zero, not even knowing if they will approve it.
Good luck!
dont bother unless you want to lose 100$$ i tried and got rejected in less than 24 hours! those mfs
Mailing back the whole application if something is missing is ridiculous. If it's one document missing, just email the sponsor and have them mail/email in the doc. Save on postage etc.
