December 2024 - Inland Spousal Sponsorship

[sgsmrp]

Bit of an update and a question about it: today I got an email with a PDF attached asking me to answer some questions about my personal information and to email the answers to an official email address. I did and shortly after I received an automatic response.

My question is: is this what people call P1 or is this just an email to confirm information about me before giving me access to P1? I'm guessing that since I don't have access to a portal yet this is NOT P1 but I wanted to make sure nonetheless.

Hello everyone. It's interesting to see how few messages by us inland December '24 applicants there are to read here compared to other months!

I originally applied December 6 of 2024 and today all the steps of the tracker have finally been marked green. I also got my COPR number on the tracker. I still haven't gotten any emails and can't see anything new on my gckey account but it's difficult not to get excited! Seems like the end of this nerve-wracking journey is around the corner. I know that nothing is 100% sure until we get our final decision but I feel like this is at least good news.

I'll edit this message later to add my full timeline but I wanted to give you a little update first.

Got my P2 email earlier today! I answered it a few hours ago, let's see how long until the final decision now. The pupil of one of my eyes appeared a bit white, almost like it had glare, after the photo was converted to black and white, hopefully if won't be an issue!
