Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London
We seem to be moving at a nice pace now; received the standard Sponsor approval email to me (the sponsor) this morning although no updates as of yet in GC Key and ECAS for PA.
The email states to expect the request within 5 days for the PCC, medicals and Schedule A.

If so, then all you will need is a ETA taken out in advance (otherwise they won't let you on the plane!). You should then land as a visitor and simply tell the CBSA agent that this is a short vacation or whatever.
It is not impossible, but I suspect that it is highly unlikely that you will have your CoPR by then I am afraid!

I assume you are British and just planning a short trip (i.e. not looking to land under 'dual intent')?

Thank you. I am British yes, and just going for a week to see the other half. And the snail pace we've been going out I highly doubt any time this year

Re: Timeline For Spousal Sponsorship via London
Good evening all,
GC Key updated this evening (31 Oct) to request the Schedule A and PCC certificate; both now submitted successfully via GC Key.
Last night (30 Oct) the formal message/letter came through GC Key to the PA to link their account and confirm SA to them; both had already been done as per the dates previously submitted through Sponsor communication.
Medicals booked for this coming Friday. Happy that it all appears to be moving along nicely now after a slow start.
Can you kindly add the relevant dates to the spreadsheet? Thank you in advance.

It’s damn exciting when you have just sent off your application and seeing all these promising updates.
With the medical is there anything anyone could be worried about? I saw somewhere that with spousal sponsorship there is nothing to worry about with medicals, is that true?

Convention Refugees;
protected persons.
Although such individuals must undertake a full immigration medical examination, they are not assessed for excessive demand.
However, there is also " likely to be a danger to public health or public safety" - Danger to Public Health or Public Safety which there is no exemption for.As per paragraphs R24, R117(g) and R139(4), excessive demand determinations under A38(1)(c) do not apply to:
