Hi Everyone :)

I am a December applicant too, could you please add me to the spreadsheet.

Category........: Spousal
Visa Office......: SYDNEY, Australia

hey bluemolly,

welcome to the forum, and the december thread.
I'll add you to the spreadsheet, but just a question - when you say "file transferred" on the 10th of December, does that mean that you already have your sponsorship approval and that your file is off to Sydney?
if that's the case - well that was super fast, congrats!
Let me know,
thanks,
Sweden

Congrats! you got an "AOR" - acknowledgment of receipt - which confirms that CIC has your application.... then after that you should receive (hopefully soon) an email or letter confirming that you have been approved as a sponsor, and your file will be transferred to a visa office (VO) abroad... then you wait more!
If you want to be added to the spreadsheet, let me know which is your VO and when you did the medicals ( or your family did), and I'll add you to the spreadsheet.
Good luck,
Sweden

You've been added! here is the link if you want to follow up later on. "fromadistance" is normally in charge of the spreadsheet but she is away for a few days so I am doing it for her for now, but she'll be back and you can update her.
Good luck,
Sweden

Hi Guys,

Im a november applicant and predominately post in the Nov unite forum. Just to give you a heads up, processing is quite behind, i guess because of the festive season and some of the staff are taking holidays. So dont get too stressed if your first stage approval takes longer than the estimated approval time. Mine application arrived in early november and we still havent heard anything yet. I know how anxious the wait it, so I thought Id give you a heads up so you know they are just running heaps behind. :)

You've been added to the spreadsheet! until fromadistance is back, I've added the link to the spreadsheet to my signature, so it's easier to find, but don't hesitate to add it to your own signature as well, the more people who carry it, the easier it is to find for newcomers! just copy the link from my signature and add it onto yours (it doesn't allow you to add information onto the spreadsheet, but at least you can access and see everyone's progress! ). It starts to look like a nice group !
Good luck to all,
Sweden

Awesome thanks! Yes I will add it to my signature, but I think I'll need 10 posts or so until I can edit my sig :)
And thanks Swedish citizen, I also hope we all get our christmas gift in-time, if not at least before the new years! On cic it says working on applications from Nov2.
