Sometimes decisions for refusals can be quick.... even in a couple of days.

Don't worry too much.... maybe it's taking longer because of higher number of visa applications for summer vacations

Out of curiosity... How did you submit the inquiry? Was it just an email or through VFS office?

Thanks, did you give them the UCI and the file # as required? The file number is the one that starts with F right?

And you just stated that you are following up on the visitor visa submitted on XX Date and we have booked tickets etc etc?

The UCI and file# (starts with F) is optional but I suggest you add if the applicant has one. Obviously the applicant wont have it if they haven't been with CIC earlier or they haven't received the AOR2 from NDVO. The form has to be submitted as the application enquiring with their information.

Yes we just asked, our application was submitted on the 12th of March and are still waiting to hear back since its already crossed the stipulated time mentioned on the site..

Well we did get a UCI number for the spousal sponsorship and we have AOR1 and SA. Should we add that in here? Im not sure...

In one of the visitor visa application forms, we have a UCI number that has been asked for..

Are you the applicant or the sponsor and who is applying for the visit visa you or your partner?

AOR1 and SA will have only the sponsor's UCI and the applicant who is in India will only get the UCI after you get AOR2 from NDVO.
Since its the applicant who is in India submitting the application for visit visa its better they submit their enquiry with their UCI if they have and if not they will just look it up based on the name and DOB I would presume. So if the applicant doent have a UCI then just submit the form.

I am the sponsor and we dont have AOR2 yet. But we included the UCI we obtained from CIC (with AOR 1) in my wife's visitor visa. Not sure if this is going to be an issue...

We provided them the printout from CIC stating our file number and UCI number that we obtained and the letter stating that the spousal application has been forwarded to New Delhi.

In any case, we plan to do an inquiry tomorrow, lets see what happens .
