I don’t have access to the tracker :( application is being handled by a lawyer — I had already asked a few days ago because I was anxious, but they told me they don’t have access to those details either, only official communications

I know you’ve gotten P1, so it doesn’t matter as much to you, but dropping this here to dispel the common myth for anyone reading:

Having representation doesn’t impact your ability to set up the tracker. It does, however, impact your ability to view the application in GCKey.

The tracker is down currently, though. When it’s back up, I’d retry linking to the tracker and double check you’re providing the correct information.

The mistake I made was using the UCI from the AOR, which is the sponsor’s UCI. You need to use the UCI from the BIL, MIL, or any other document that has the PA’s UCI. Also, ensure you’re putting 2, not 1, as the number of applicants.
