Hello blessedone1, your UCI number is for you and your sponsorship is approved. You will now not see any activity on ecas until the applicant gets an AOR from POS and then they will get their own UCI number. Even then, sometimes people do not get AORs, they only know their app. has been received at POS via a case specific enquiry (CSE) sent to them by e-mail.blessedone1 said:

It is still early days for you right now, so you do need to brace for the reality of waiting until 2014 unless POS does something drastically different. Currently the processing time at the Caribbean offices is 20 months and that time starts after your file is received in POS. So to be blunt, yes stop wasting your time with ecas, it is notoriously unreliable. The next communication from POS will be received by the applicant, not the sponsor. If anything comes sooner, then that is fantastic. My experience (and likely many others on the forum, especially through the POS and Kingston JA offices) is that it is wise to manage your expectations now (keep them low
Hi KIAB, the file number stays the same for both sponsor and applicant. It is also known as the "application" number and usually starts with an F. I presume for family class.KIAB said:
Hi FAD, hope you are feeling better my dear. My hubs just picked up his renewed passport on Friday afternoon and the High Commission is closed at 1:00 p.m. on Fridays. So he got his photo and the PPR letter and he will go on Tuesday morning to drop everything off as he is Trini and lives close to the HC. They are closed Monday for Thanksgiving.fromadistance said:
