Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share my timeline and see if anyone has had a similar experience.
Application submitted: Feb 17, 2024
AOR: June 17, 2024
Background check (A34) started: around Aug 2024
My A34 (principal applicant): completed on April 23, 2026
Dependent (spouse): background check still in progress (A34 not completed yet)
Everything else for my spouse seems done (criminality, biometrics, info sharing), but only A34 is still pending.
Has anyone been in a similar situation where:
principal applicant A34 is done,
but dependent is still stuck in background/security screening?
If yes, how long did it take after that for final approval or movement?
Just trying to understand if this is a normal delay at this stage or if it usually takes much longer for dependents.
Thanks in advance
