I assumed it’s a good sign and you guys are good. Only that their requests and updates don’t comes in sequence. Just be optimistic and keep your hope high. The golden email will arrive. Congratulations in advance

Hi, actually can anyone enlighten me how to link my acc to gckey. been trying for 2 weeks now until i get logged out. Any help would be much appreciated.
The mistake I made was.
When it asked me how many people does this application have. I kept selecting one
The answer was two. Both sponsor and Applicant are counted . Everything else they ask for is pretty straight forward I used place of birth and family name
