MAY 2020 *Outland* Spousal Sponsorship

[Mishthi]

Below is the message IRCC kept in GC Key login page.
Not sure since when this is...

Due to the impacts of COVID-19

• we’re experiencing processing delays
• we’re prioritizing applications from people who are exempt from travel restrictions
• depending on your application type, you may not have heard from us or seen changes in your application status
  • If you’ve had a medical exam or given biometrics, they won’t show in your account until we process them.
  • We currently have a backlog of medical exams to process, but when we do process them, you’ll see them in your account.

Looks like they are processing all the medical exams.
One of my friends got the medical request for his spouse month after the timeline has ended.

Things are all over the place. Really hard to guess what's actually happening behind the scenes.

I have applied for GCMS notes and came to know that our application is in Beijing for eligibility check.
Thought it is in NDVO as they mentioned in Sponsor approval mail.

Primary office: Centralized intake office - NSVO
Secondary office 1: NDVO
Secondary office 2: Beijing

Being moved is a good thing likely.

Hello guys,

Any application transferred to London Visa office out here? if yes, how long does it take to hear back from them? Mine was transferred to London VAC on January 20 and since then I have not heard from them.

Hello everyone,
Any May 2020 applicants still stuck with AOR1?. We got AOR in November 2020. No updates after that. We are really worried about whether the file is returned or not. GCMS note is also delayed. What can we do next?

 

[dw33]

If you got aor its highly unlikely to be returned, almost certain it ok.

Must be sponsor background check

[/QUOTE Must be the sponsor background check taking some time. Usually its only a month or two though for that.

We got passport request. VFS office saying we have to use 2-way courier service; however, it has been 5 days and they have not replied back to date to pick up and payment request. We have only 30 days to get the passport to New Dehli and the only way to get it there is the VFS service.

Anyone have suggestions or comments?
