Hello everyone, I've noticed there are a few here who know a little more about the whole sponsorship process than many of us. So, I would like to share my timeline and maybe someone here can help me out. Or just guessing what the next step might be will also be very helpful.
( As you can see on the left)
I applied April 3 2012
I received sponsorship approval July 3 2012
My application was first sent to Damascus than Amman
I traveled to Iraq to see my husband in September 2012 until January 15 2013
While I was away, January 13 2013, I received an email from Amman VO requesting Schedule A. They wanted it within 20 days. Unfortunately, I didn't see this email until February. I sent an email February 17 attached Schedule A and apologized for the delay.
On the 27th of January, my ecas changed to "in process"
Then waited...
On May 22, I got a call from Amman VO. He told me they were trying to contact me since April. He said he was looking for my husband ?? I said my husband was in Syria but due to the issues there he went back to Iraq. He asked for his phone number and I thought this might be my only chance to ask questions lol so i asked a little too many. But the guy was more than kind to answer all of them.
I made sure I mentioned that I sent the requested Schedule A in February. He said he didnt know what I was talking about but he will check. I also asked at what stage my husband's process was at he said he needs to redo the medical and usually the background check and medicals are the last stage but the longest. He sent me an email with the medical form.
Second medical: May 26
June 2nd: the same guy called my husband and told him he didnt receive Schedule A. My husband told him everything you asked for my wife sent. The officer emailed me and said they will make their final decision if they dont receive it soon. 15 minutes later, another email from him apologizing and asking us to ignore the previous message as he found it.
requested Gcms notes: June 6 ( Also sent an email attached letter from obstetrician that I was pregnant with my second)
Received gcms notes: July 4 2013
- May 22, 2013 note: contacted spr/replied, told me her husband is in iraq, his phone number *******.
- February 27, 2013 note: They have my email copied and pasted and wrote documents attached printed and attached to file ( including schedule A) . Med reassessment needed
- January 27, 2013 note: FOSS checked ( no adverse info on sponsor). Satisfied relationship is BF. Elig passed.
---------
July 5 2013 : Ecas updated " medical results have been received"
I apologize for the long post :-[ But I would really appreciate it if someone can give me a clue on what will be the next step. Will there be another background check? Will they want to interview us? And how much longer am I going to have to wait?
ps I mentioned earlier Im pregnant with my second and Im due end of September. Should I send another email informing them about this and that I would like my husband to be with me on that day to support me? We will be both upset if he missed his second child's birth.
Thanks
