Thanks! I hope so too..My ecas still says application received and medical received (passed).

The confirmation usually comes in a day or so, it'll come dont worry. Just make sure you uploaded passport copy of sponsor and consent form from applicant with the GCMS application.

Hi ashvin22, I feel the file status can change within a day, so don't loose hope, u never know, may be ur file was picked up for processing after Oct 21. I also think each officer reviews their assigned files as per their convenience, like an officer might review it according to date of application filed, another might review as per passport request date & so forth. But thats just my opinion. We can never figure out how they work.
I just applied for notes today. Did you receive the email confirmation for gcms notes immediately after u applied or after couple days? I didnt receive the confirmation email yet.
I'll update everyone once i receive it, but lets hope our files get done bfore that.

Thanks miss_b. Do you think they will not consider my first application before and my husband's interview? Because the VO told my husband that there was a technical fault in our marriage certificate,should be registered to Special Marriage Act rather than Hindu Marriage Act. Are they going to check the whole file again?Thanks

Is there anything special about ur marriage? like age difference, different religion, second marriage?
It depends on each VO how they assess the application. They will check the whole file as a new application but they might also look at the previous application history.
I can't fully answer the question, sorry...someone with similar experience might be able to help.
Check this topic...http://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/all-spouse-appeal-cases-come-here-and-join-us-plz-t87619.1710.html but this topic is for ppl who got refused n they appealed the VO's decision. In your case u decided to re-apply which is another way of going about a refusal. Wishing u all the best!

Hi May applicants,

Received my GCMS notes today (data pulled Oct 21st) - absolutely nothing done on the file since June :( ...I was hoping to see some work in progress at least under eligibility review so that I could expect In Process next month...Eligibility Status : Not started :\

So now moving my hopes onto December!

Anyone else from May saw any updates on GCMS, especially Interview recommendations? Totally hoping for a MAY in-process parade to start next week (new month!) - wish u all the very best!

My timeline (Myrah - pls add to the list)

Application Filed: 17 May 2013
Medicals Done: 17 Feb 2013
Sponsorship Approved: 04 Jun 2013
File Transferred to Local Consulate: 04 Jun 2013
AOR Received Date: 19 Jun 2013
Passport Requested: 18 Jun 2013
Passport received by NDVO: 21 Jun 2013
Application Status: pending

if you look at Myrah's spreadsheet there are about 12 or 13 waiting for passport request and their statuses has been 'not started'..some of the applicants go back to Feb 2013...mine is May too but at least you had your passport sent but mine is nothing started (future dictionaries should not have two words - 'not' and 'started'..I have asked webster dictionary to remove those two words then NDVO will not write 'not started')...I had ordered two 'notes' and both had those lovely words

Hi everyone, I am following this forum since June 2013. I am sponsoring my husband in New Delhi but got refused last June 2013,so I submitted a new application and got the AOR on Sept 11 and at the same day they transferred the file to NDVO. I'm just wondering if it will take like 11 months to give the decision of my application? Can anyone help me please.Thanks

theoretically 'yes' it may take up to 11 months..some 2012 applicants have been waiting longer..it does not mean yours too. Majority get their visas within 8 months but some longer. Each application is carefully reviewed, analyzed, check against rules and regulations, sent to superiors and set aside if it requires more documentation and reviews. If you are lucky and application is straightforward with no complications, your processing visa officer is in a good mood (Diwali bonus and a good spouse/parents/in-laws helps to elevate his/her mood) and stars aligned, you may get it in 8 to 10 months.
 
After such a long wait, finally theres change in my ECAS status.
It changed to 'In Process 26 Oct' from 'Application received on 29 jan'.. whats a frustrating wait of 10 months...
Now expecting to get PPR in very near future...
 
Where are you myrah???
