Hey Rushi! Looks like GCMS notes come back quickly these days, usually withing 12-15 days. 130 pages is quite a lot and extensive. Could be due to a family type application. As a single applicant, mine were like 30-40 pages only. Yeah, most of the notes are coded and ciphered. However, you will definitely see the exact status of the application under "Location" usually page 3 or 4 or 5. It should say if you application is Review Ready or Test Ready, or Ceremony ready. In your case, I think, it should say "Review Ready" and then indicate what PM it was assigned to. PM01, PM02 or PM03. These are all different rant officers. If it is PM01 then it is the lowest rank officer, which may indicate that your application is straightforward. If it is PM03 then it might mean that the application will be slowed down by some additional checks. Alos, at the last pages, at "Notes" it might have some insightful specific to your application information.

Hope you get your notes soon! But most importantly, hope you get "discission made" even sooner!
Hello, thank you for your input here. I am checking my GCMS notes and I can't see any mention of status or PM01, PM02... etc. What should I do? Ask for notes again in a few weeks or call.

Hi Dr. Walden

My GCMS notes say:
Location: E-grant Review ready PM01

When the GCMS notes were generated, Jun 22, 2023, my LPP Was not completed, but since then my LPP has been marked as complete as of June 23, 2023.

But its been over a month and I have not received an oath invitation. Any idea why? Any indication on the GCMS notes where it specifies any particular cohort (group) i am assigned to that take the oath together?
