MAY 2019 *OUTLAND* SPOUSAL SPONSORSHIP

[Brendan92]

So you guys are thinking this is a 6-7 month delay? I'm trying to get a feel for what the consensus is on different group fourms

Nobody can say sh!t for sure, but if by end of summer we are here asking the same questions, I would plan for a long trip abroad with your wife.
Say they get back to work after Labor Day.
The backlog is going to be catastrophic
They have not touched even 1 application since mid March.

But make sure that sponsor is allowed to leave canada for a long time while the application is being processed. They have so many restrictions on spouses like no trv, it's unbelievable.

What does your Gckey account state in terms of bakground check and criminality assessments? Also what’s your timeline?

I’m wondering if my application is in a similar scenario, it’s been in London since November and I received a request for an updated police check in February but obviously nothing since.

Biometrcis Received: June 23rd, 2019

And, on my GC key the Background message still states the same thing "We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information."

I am sponsoring my Husband, who stayed in England for 6 years. He applied for UK PCC after he came back to India. As this PCC was issued after he exited London and never went back. I am assuming that this PCC will work for his application. Or He will need to request one again??

So far no tangible changes to our application processing yet. In addition to what I submitted to my MP on May 26, 2020, my husband (a US citizen) also wrote a letter to my MP reiterating our situation which I forwarded to them on June 12, 2020. On June 16, 2020, they replied with a confirmation (pasted below) that they have received my husband's letter as well.

"I have received your documents and accompanying letter and will provide you with an update on the status of your immigration file within the next few days. As you can imagine, there have been delays in processing on account of COVID-19. Most consulate offices/embassies and visa offices around the world have been shut down and handling only urgent matters.

I realize the urgency of your situation. Having said that, I will see if anything can be done to speed up the case. There are no guarantees. I will forward a copy of your letter to add to the file.

Thank you and stay well. I will be back in touch with you soon."

No updates other than this reply yet, but I'll definitely post if anything comes of it. As far as I know, the NY visa office where our application is currently located is still closed, but there's a list of visa offices that have reopened here --> https://www.cicnews.com/2020/06/visa-application-centres-starting-to-reopen-0614686.html#gs.8k648w Hope things get moving for everyone...
