No problem :) I suggest sitting back and trying to keep yourself busy for a little while. Order notes in a month or so (they're only 5 bucks, or free if the applicant is in Canada), it keeps me busy at least, waiting for them to arrive and I can see where they're at in the process. But I've been waiting since March 7th when I got my SA without a peep from Ottawa, and it'll probably be another 2 or 3 months before I hear anything. The only change I've seen is last week my medical results were updated in ECAS - we did our medicals after getting sponsorship approval.

Hahahah :) thank you for your suggestion. My hubby has done is medical exam before we send the application. So, all the requirement documents were included when we mailed our application.
I will try to order the notes by the end of June.

Hi all! - just sent application (spousal) and joined the may 2014 thread, but wanted to introduce myself here as well.
FYI for anyone who's waiting for FBI reports, here's my experience of processing time: (I'm trying to find the thread that refers to that, no luck)... sent my cards and request March 24, credit card was charged April 21, report received May 1... so pretty close to the 26 business day turnaround their website says...

BTW Zarilenth, thanks a bunch for the info on how to order notes - seems every day I learn something useful on here!

My to-be-spouse is Canadian citizen and I am Indian citizen. I am residing in USA though on student visa for now. We have not yet got married but plan to do court marriage soon. How long is the processing time approx for a PR as outland applicant ? Does it affect processing time if we do court marriage or file documents in USA or India?

As far as outland goes India timeline seems to be much faster. At least from what I noticed in the forum. Being on a visa (temporary resident) in the US has longer wait times...
