    Yes, I did that. I’m hoping others here may have encountered this situation and be able to share their experience in case I do not find help from the visa office.

    AUGUST 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    I just looked at the ECAS tool and my application status there now shows as “Decision Made”! No change in detail in the GCKey account. How long does it take before that shows up for people? I swear I read about this somewhere here in the forum.

    AUGUST 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

    I know that in the process of getting a visitor record one of the things I was asked was proof of ties back to the States, and another was proof of how I would support myself economically during my visit.
