hi andiesman ! Yes , it is Spousal visa. Additional Relationship documents is what they will require you to bring once you'll have an interview. But in my case, the V.O re-reviewed my file and cancelled the interview last Friday ( 6 days prior to my scheduled interview) and he requested me to mail the Additional Relationship documents instead. :D
Thanks for the info! Common law partner sa akin. we submitted our passports nung April. Then recently they requested for additional supporting documents so I was hoping if anyone has the same case and what their timeline is.

Based from your timeline, nauna ka lang sa akin ng 1 month... pero overall.. same lang status natin.. application and medical results received pa rin sa ecas.
Have you tried ordering GCMS notes? para makita mo kung anu yung last update ng VO or kung may na miss kayong letter from CEM?

hi guys ask ko lng what is ECAS?! :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D ;D :D ;D
it's Electronic Client Application Status - where you can check your application status, but don't rely on it too much.

I know it does. Waiting is killing me as well. But there is nothing much to do for now but to wait. Patience is very important in this process. And with prayer it makes things easy . :D

I agree with you. Better wait. I also know some people who know insiders but cannot do anything because they have dates to observe. All follow-ups are recorded. Of course if you approach them they are very nice to you, but who knows another VO who handles your docs may not like the follow-up.

Additional documents do not necessarily delay the process if it is the first time they asked. We are given much leeway in submitting docs, up to even 60 days, and that does not delay the whole timeline.

Other people have waited much longer.
