Called in again today since I haven't received SA or AOR2. First guy who answered was outright aweful.

Said that it is what I see on the website. He completely blocked me, won't even bother listening to me.

Called again and got a nice lady who promptly took my UCI and told me pretty much what I was told last week. Which is, my SA was approved last week and file sent to new Delhi Visa office.

She also said (without me prompting) that it takes 17 months but it'll get processed faster. She said she doesn't know why I didn't receive SA confirmation correspondence but that the letter will not include any additional information so I shouldn't worry.

Lady I spoke to today and agent I spoke to last week both said eligibility was approved. They likely referred to sponsorship eligibility but I couldn't help but wonder if they were referring to relationship eligibility, esp because the lady today said visa office would contact my wife about medicals if needed.

I guess I am over thinking this, but it'd be nice if they followed the protocols rather than applicants having to call in to get updates on the status.

Well, you're definitely past the 41 days for SA. I hope you get some information when you call. It's possible that they could have approved the sponsor without updating eCAS or sending correspondence. Good luck!

After you give ur UCI # they ask for your name last name date of birth and where ur born
then just verification of the phone number, email and mail address

No problem. My bet is that they approved the sponsor without doing anything to notify you. It happens sometimes. If you get a call center agent who doesn't want to give you any information, then try to call back and get someone else who answers.

Hey everyone!

It has been 43 days for me now since cic received my application and no SA yet. Can I call in after more than 40 days after application received or 40 days after it started being processed which was about a month later?

It's after they received your application, not when they officially started processing it. I'd go ahead and call tomorrow if you can.

Thank you very much! Will do

Just logged into ecas and PR side updated with a 3rd line! "We started processing your application on May 6". Still haven't received SA but since PR side is processing, I'm assuming I have it.
