Are you got aor (Aknolodge of receipt) ? If yes you have file number and your uci number.

I sent my application to sponsor my wife in November 2016, background check still shows 'in process' it hasnt started still. anyone on the sameprocess? few days ago , it shows they're reviewing the additional documents we provided. but we were never asked for additional documents. everything we sent with the application form.

Congratulations.... what is your timeline ?how long did Colombo take to do background check ?

Did your background check line change ? I have noticed that for some people on this forum the background check keeps saying that " the file is in process and next step is to conduct background check" even after decision made. How was it for u? My application is in Srilanka visa office since April but background check line on mycic keeps saying " the file is in process and next step is to conduct background check". I am hoping they started it
