On February 19 CPC Sydney received my spousal sponsorship application. As of today I haven’t received a confirmation of receipt or a file number. I have spoken to several Call Agents and have submitted a Case Specific Inquiry Form but the officers only say that they haven’t started to process the application. Is it normal to have to wait so long for an official confirmation of receipt? Thank you very much!

You're on the long side of an AOR, admittedly. When you talk to the call centre, do they tell you they have no record of your application, or just that it hasn't started processing yet?
If they've not received it, they would say they have no record of it, I believe.

They confirm that they have received it and I have a temporary file number that starts with an “x”.
They would have informed you if that was the case. The return of an app is a big deal to many people, it affects a lot.
It wouldn't have received a temporary number and would be in your hands by now.
I thought they give temp numbers to all applications when initial input in the system and take off the x when they have processed, but what do I know.
I know. I too try to make sense of things but sometimes i’m dumb founded. Thanks anywaysI have no idea why they do the things they do, sorry. I only try to piece together what they do from the limited facts that we all have
Oh, that's certainly possible, but my understanding had been that they do a completeness check when they assign the X number - a quick check to make sure all the papers are there and properly signed - and return ones that fail at that early stage. But I'm probably lost and clueless too!
