It can take a while, we got the payment request on 30th April and didn't get the biometrics request until 21st June. I've seen other people on the forum waiting only a couple of weeks, so I think there's no hard and fast rule. Hopefully you won't be waiting as long as we did haha, but it can certainly take up to 2 months.
How did you send your biometric payment?

Question
On Ecas it says that they sent my wife (PA) a letter yesterday. Would that be the medical exam request? because in GCKey her medical exams changed to "we are processing your medical exams" but she hasn't done them yet.
Also on my Ecas (Sponsor) says Decision Made, but I have not received any email yest, about that.
Those things changed today.
Anyone knows anything about that?
Please reply.
Thanks!

Hi Friends,

Looking at the rate at which applications are returned back. For the new people who are yet to apply or any of your friends who are going to apply, i strongly suggest to go with a decent Attorney/Consultant who will take care of each step and see there are no such things happening.

Application being returned really frustates(because partners stay long distance) and you never know how long/how the next steps goes once you re-submit the application. As this is very IMPORTANT thing, do not hesitate to spend some extra bucks, so that you will have your process go smooth.


Good luck !
I know ur trying to be helpful but people need to learn from their mistakes when getting their apps returned as it seems some are just missing a signature here and there. Consultants are very expensive and will add another 2-3k when the application itself is already very expensive and then add the money spent on translations and traveling for medicals and biometrics. The application is easy to do and following along the checklist is free. The only time a consultant or lawyer is needed is if u have a complex case. From what I read, having a consultant adds extra stress as the sponsor and pa are often sitting around until their consultants communicate with them anything new about their applications.

my file moved to mississuage vo on 19th of june.any one tell me how much take the for dm
Same with me. The minimum time (no. of days between Moved To Visa Office and Decision Made) I have noticed in April applicants is 8 - 9 days. Hope ours also gets done in that short period of time.

Have not been able to link to GCkey as of yet. Will there be any update on ECAS?
ECAS will only show that it is received. Whether passed or if they want more is communicated via GCkey.
Why haven't you been able to link to GCkey? do you have a representative appointed?

How long would this generally take to reflect biometric and medical received on ECAS? My spouse submitted her biometric on 19 and medicals on 20, still no update on ECAS.
