I believe so, but I can't say from my experience as I am still waiting on AIP. There are more experienced members of the forum that are more fit to reply. Sorry.
In my experience there is not much correspondence. You just need to hang tight and wait and hope for the best outcome.
They have applications left over from 2018 and 2019 to complete. Lots of people went into process early and received refusal.
I called them when it went into process. I wouldn't recommend to call. You can order GCMS notes for the update on the file. It
is pretty easy and costs $5.
Hi, what is your timeline? You should get AOR (acknowledgement of receipt).
Usually 2020 applications get invited for biometrics at some point, if you did not already do biometrics before.
Hi Bella12, I am sorry to hear about your refusal. Do you know what office processed your application?
If I were in your shoes I would do re-apply with another lawyer.
Hi Rina, I am so sorry to hear that. Our application is in process since November as well. We are really nervous. Stay strong and try every avenue you can.
