In the GCKey it said we are checking your background and will let you know if we need information. Something like that. Don't remember exactly. But now it only says Not Applicable.

Hi all,

Principal Applicant here. I submitted my application in November 2023 and I am new to this forum.

Does anyone know if there is an application status tracker for November 2023 Outland spousal sponsorship applications?

Will this change be sent to your email saying you have an update or message? Or do I have to check it manually every few days?

It changed on the GCKey with no warning or email.

Hi,

My background check also changed from in progress to "Not Applicable" today as well on GcKey. Any update on your end since this change?

In a similar boat. Submitted 09 November 2023, AOR, SA, Biometrics, Medical all completed in January 2024, and have been sitting at Background in progress since Feb 13th. Looking at different threads and the spreadsheet, I think it's about a 3 month wait from where we are at in the process (so mid-late May for our cases).

Do you see any last update in your tracker ?
my tracker shows last updated on march 12th.

Mine shows last update March 1 2024 but I didn't get anything new then, so guessing ghost update or something backend that doesn't mean anything really.
