We got SA, AIP, and DM for sponsor at the 12 month mark nearly to the day. Final DM for my spouse (applicant) was three weeks and one day later.
I am a little confused. Is there a separate DM for sponsor and principal applicant? We have received eligibility letters for both sponsor and PA, will this be followed by separate DMs for each of us?

Ok thank you. By the way how will I wait for the approval and interview? I just had my medical passed last month.
They send you an email. However if you just passed your medical it takes a few months after that. Ours was about 5 months or so before we got any approvals happening.

Yes once they approve the sponsor it will show as decision made for that application, then AIP for the PA then after that will come DM for the PA. Ours was about three weeks different as I said. Each case has different things that may cause a delay in the DM status to occur for the PA. For us they wanted a document from my husband's home country however after going through our MP they decided they no longer required it and our application was completed and a landing letter sent.

That's normal the online tool usually doesn't change for some reason. If your side of ECAS says decision made then all you are waiting for is your landing appointment.

Its so many questions... like MANY MANY MANY! They asked me to draw my room showing bed position ... what side of bed each of us sleep. Who wake up first... last movie we watched together... where.... last time we had sex... explain how was our first date... ask if my wife have any tattoo / scars and where, who pays the bills..... what we gave to each other for birthday / Christmas! Name of people who were at our wedding and engagement .... ( there is one blog you can find over 150 question there basically all questions that they asked) Yes I know its sounds scary! But remember just keep calm and tell the truth

After all questions, the officer interviewd my Wife and basically asked the same questions and them she called me to the room and said there is no more concerns and just wait for landing appointment.

And she explained about the interview request just because we have short time of relationship!

If I were you, renew your passport now, coz before they approved your application, they might see your passport expired, they need a valid passport to approve your application. I was out of status when I applied and my passport was expired,, they sent me a letter for a valid passport , before any decision made.
