We should trade notes to see how both our apps trend from here on...

Best of luck!

Finally can get into eCAS! ;D
Started processing April 19
Status is Decision Made - and they sent me a letter on April 19 but not yet received.

Hm...I did provide my email but I didn't get any (not in the junk folder either)! Did everyone who put in their emails got an email or sometimes they will just mail the letter??

Ugh!! Can't wait to see what decision was made!! **pulling hair!!**

Hi all,

I too am new here. I'm just wondering, I was able to get an e-cas update over the weekend which indicates that a decision was made, and a letter was mailed to my home on April 20, 2011. I did provide an email address, but did not get an update there (also checked my junk folder). What I am curious about is if the decision is that I can sponsor my husband, how long does it typically take before our file is transferred to the Visa office in London UK or a status update to that effect be available on e-cas?

Thanks!

Hi Tulamoon!

If you are updating the spreadsheet, (thank you for making it, btw!) we finally received the letter for stage1 approval- it was sent April 15th. :)

Though now I am applying through Quebec, so my timeline will differ from the others as I have to apply to get a Selection Cert. for Quebec and then the file will be transferred to London. (All things going well!)
