For me it's changing a lot now it says it would take 15 months.
So I'm getting confused.

I have applied to sponsor my husband on July 11,2016. Ankara v/o. Got CSIS report, that security was completed in April 12, 2017. No decision made yet, no communication with us. My husband is from Georgia. We are tired of waiting, going to 13 months now. Not sure about eligibility, expiries in August 28,2017. Medical exp. July 17,2017.Criminality exp August 28,2017. What to expect, we don't know. Just frustration is building up. Still waiting. Ankara is the worse v/o to deal with.

Thank you very much for your kind words ! The issue is that I am not stuck at the background check, it shows that it is not even started. Never mind, I wish you also the best of luck and to hear something very soon :) Appreciate your kind message and nice words !
you said your myCIC shows Background check: Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check.

Yeah, unfortunately Ankara is one of the slowest offices, I've seen a few other people on this forum that are stuck in security check from other offices too :(

Seems like we tried everything and the only thing is to continue waiting just for a bit more, I honestly think our time is almost here and we will get most awaited news now or in August. There's not much we can do at the moment...

I ordered them, it shows the below.
Eligibility: Recommend Passed
Medicals: Passed - Expired
Security: Not Started
Criminality: Not Started

But when I sent an email of status inquiry to the embassy 2 weeks ago they informed me that my application is in queue for a secondary review by an officer & that they cannot give me a time frame or exact timeline about when my application will be finalized.
