September 2025 - Outland Spousal Sponsorship
- Thread starter hotsalsa
- Start date
Mine is exactly same as yours except I didn’t get ghost update 1.
My ghost update 1 is April 17th
Ghost update 2 - April 20th
One thing I noticed is that my COPR number disappeared on April 17th update and on a new COPR number is showing up now on April 20th update.
Today, I received a message from VFS Colombo saying 'Ready for Collection'.
Got a 2nd ghost update on tracker today
(Apr 22, 2026)
Previous ghost update was Apr 15, 2026
Also,
GCKey account now says eligibility is done, final decision is approved and counterfoil information is also available.

I was hoping you would say your passport is ready for collection. It is taking forever......
Passport (“the decision envelope”) has been dispatched and is on its way. Woohoo!
I received my passport today and thank you all for your assistance
