My ECAS says Decision Made (not sure what our myCIC says because we still can't log in lol!) my husbands passport has been submitted for 13 days, no pum yet.
In my case, all of the updates showed up in myCIC account and as of today, there isnt much in ECAS for my wife. In fact in myCIC account, after it showed approved, I could see the visa issued with the visa number and expiry date. But in your case, I guess you just have to live with what you have. Whichever way, we are grateful that the wait is almost over for you and your spouse.

Mycic shows my visa number, approved & decision made but on Ecas, it says in progress. Well it does not matter again. Game over. All I is need pum by tomorrow.

There are October 2016,November 2016, December 2016, January 2017, February 2017 (which is me), March 2017..before April...you're going to need a lot of patience otherwise you'd be left very depressed..lets just be happy that people are getting good news and AVO is clearing their backlog..we hope like someone who was interviewed recently said that the new apps would be straightforward and faster to process...unlike the 2016 apps which have mostly taken the 12months processing times promised the new apps

have you send them an email.. because I am too g to send them email every week and will copy the minister until Accra decides to be a little bit faster with productivity.
No I'm not. I know that this process takes time, that it's a lot better than it was and is improving, and we'll get there when they are done with everyone else.

And I think that bombarding them with emails only slows down the process. Imagine if everyone sent emails every week and they had to read and deal with them. Maybe that is part of the reason for the backlog.

I am, however, going to visit my husband and kids in 50 days. Can't wait to set them.

Hello House.

I’m very happy to inform you all that God has come through for us. 394 days after we started this process, we have finally received PPR today. The journey is pretty much over and needless to say, we are over the moon.
I’m going to briefly go through our timeline for the people who might be interested.

Application filed - Sept 19th, 2016.
Upfront Medicals - August 30th, 2016
Sponsorship Approval - Oct 26th, 2016
Accra started processing - Nov 7th 2016
Redo Medical request - Oct 12th, 2017
Medical redone - Oct 17th, 2017
PPR - Oct 18th, 2017

We applied for GCMS notes 3 times in between. Once in March, again in May and then September.

I contacted my MP’s office sometime in August to help us reach out to Accra but they pretty much told us there was nothing they could do for us till our application exceeded 17months (God forbid).

We also sent in additional proof of relationship twice. The first time, we sent more pictures with captions explaining when and where they were taken. The second time, we sent pictures along with screenshots of WhatsApp convos and my ticket/Passport stamps from my recent visit to Nigeria in July. Both times, we sent our documents through webform (Case Specific Enquiry) and directly to the email address for the Accra office.

In August, we also emailed the ministers office but we never got any response.

That’s pretty much what this process was for us. It was reaaaally long and reaaaally tough, but it has ended in praise.

Thanks so much to everyone who has contributed in any way at all to this forum. I don’t know how I’d have survived this heartbreaking process without this forum.

To everyone who’s waiting, I know it is easier said than done because not too long ago, I too was on the receiving end of this advice...but just hang in there. Your time will come and when it does, you’ll forget about the tough part pretty fast. GOODLUCK EVERYONE!
