Most mistakes can indeed be corrected at the border when proper evidence is presented.

I meant to add that the visa officers would not comment on individual cases in any case because they would not have the full applicant's information and finally, they are busy enough already!

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Why would you think otherwise? But I doubt any of them would ever comment in any way.

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

The short answer is no, you cannot call them to advise of a change of address or any other case information. If you think about it you will see that it must be the that way.

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

So many considerations apply and you have identified some I did not mention. Things should slow down quite noticeably in London and other visa offices, but not in Ottawa or Mississauga, during the...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Background checks include security and terrorism related concerns and are done by people who are very busy on those two issues. The delays are resource bound in my experience in such circumstances. ...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Were there no comments? No indication of reference for background checks. Those notes can be hard to fathom but it does seem as though your case was either forgotten, which is hard to believe in...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Correct in your case because the sincerity of the marriage was likely the sticking point. eCas is a difficult thing to assess and I am sure it never really tells the whole story in understandable...

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

Medicals are sent electronically now so the form is redundant. Provided the names and DOB are correct the match is automatic.

re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London & Inland

The maddening thing about eCas is that it tells you there is a decision and then makes you wait 4 to 8 weeks to find out just what that decision was. For spousal cases the decision is well over 99%...

It could be just semantics too. If processed in Canada one could wrongly think that made it an "inland" case perhaps.
