Hi everyone,
I figured I would post my husband’s timeline for spousal sponsorship/permanent residency, in the hopes it would help others who are in similar situations we were in.
I am sponsoring my husband who is Lebanese but resides in Lagos, Nigeria. Because of his residency our application is being handled by the Accra VO.
Submitted application: 23/02/2019
AOR: 25/02/2019
Biometrics request: 26/03/2019 -Note: we never received the letter for biometric request and there was no request on either ECAS or GCKey and on the proline is it said biometrics were not needed. There were no email, and no physical letter sent. But because I knew that biometrics were needed I contacted the VO and was told to submit biometrics at VAC Lagos on October 2, 2019. So please if after a month of submitting application you don’t receive the request for biometrics make sure to enquire Through webform about the letter.

We are now waiting for his passport and CoPR to come to the VAC in Lagos for pickup so he can land soon!
This has been a long journey and hope that everyone hears good news soon.
