Hey aperture, I got my passport sent back to me in Canada super quick, 3 weeks and a day from arrival in London, I'm not sure if it was so quick because my medical expires beginning of January or if they were just moving fast the but it may help if you include a letter with your passport explaining your travel plans? You have to factor in the Xmas backlog now too though!

That's super quick! (Hint to others: I'd be more encouraged to see turn-around times like that from even more people, if they are so inclined to post.)

I'm am indeed a bit worried about a Christmas backlog. We're now at the weekend again with no passport request, so it'll be at least a few more days to go!
 
Was not a happy lady today.
Been at home all week and the one day i go out for 2hrs i have a note when i get bk saying that something that needs a signature needed to be delieverd :'(
Its now the weekend and i'm out Monday so i've had to have it redelivered Tuesday.
Stupid, stupid, stupid mail lol.
My passport got to vo on the 22nd November so if it is my passport its took 2 weeks 3 days :)
I'll let you all know Tuesday.

Hi Pink Lady,

Would you kindly add me to your spread sheet? Our time line is as follows:

Application sent: May 13th 2011
Application received: May 16th 2011
Sponsorship approval: Septmember 22nd 2011

We're still waiting for confirmation or PPR or anything from London. Hope we're not messed around again!! :'(
 
Can you add me to the spreadsheet...123me..application sent Nov.1st....received Nov. 3rd.
 
Sure, i'll add you both on Monday.
 
I received an email on Dec. 9 that my application was received in Mississauga on Nov. 2, 2011, even though I mailed it Oct. 18. I'm happy to know that someone is in contact with my file, but I was hoping I'd already be hearing that I was approved as a sponsor and that the application was being sent to the London VO already. I've got a UCI number now, though I can't seem to login with it yet. It says

"We were not able to identify you using the information you provided. There could be three possible reasons:

This service is only available to clients with applications in process. We may have received your application but not yet begun processing it. The following link may help you determine if your application is being processed:

So I guess my application has been received but is still waiting to be processed.

4 months just to get sponsorship approval? What happened to the good old days when it took only 37 days for sponsorship approval (see Pink Lady's spreadsheet). I hope that you will get PPR soon :)
 
I have a question, the VO send me an Appendix A that states " to complete information for YOU AND ALL YOUR DEPENDANTS, whether accompanying or not". My question is, do you include your sponsor spouse on this form??.. i had send mine already but leave the spouse column as blank since in my thinking my husband is not my dependent...hope somebody can enlighten me?

if ever, i should have include my sponsor spouse in the form, can i send another appendix A to the VO and attached a letter of explaination? will it not create a problem for me f I do so??..i really need advise right now, don't want to be the cause of delay for my application since our wedding anniversary is fast approaching...thank you for your advises! it be of great help..

Have you tried logging in with your sponsor's information? (Use the same UCI number.) Our application is only accessible via the sponsor's details (me!).
