I'm not sure if it's 100% official for SA, ECAS says "decision made" for my sponsor and he received an email to that effect this morning, so I'm just assuming that counts as SA.
If you have received AOR or have a UCI from before, you can use the online tool to follow your progress.
AOR will be sent to your sponsor. If tour sponsor included his email on one of the forms (I honestly can't remember which, but it was one of the very few sponsor forms) it should go to their email. You can also check the status on the online tool with the application number (which you have now that you've linked it to your account) and/or your UCI number
Alright, we printed off all new forms, got new professional pics taken (as the previous ones were done in March), read the detailed guide, signed the ALL the forms that have an electronic signature but also want a physical one, even put the barcode pages immediately after the OWP application and supporting paperwork but BEFORE the rest of the sponsorship application like it says in the detailed guide and nowhere else. It's going to the post office tomorrow. This is our third attempt. I used my lucky pen. Wish us luck.
As far as I know, no. I think your OWP could still get returned if you submitted one, but your AOR is like an acknowledgement that you included everything you were supposed to and they can start processing.
