Yeah. I put CIO-NS for the visa office. My initial check was done at CIO-NS at the same time they changed my status to 'in process.'AINP2014 said:you mean that CIO-NS do in all cases the check that the package contains all the required documents and considered as complete, then forward it to the Visa office you requested for processing. At which the actual check (Security, criminility, ... etc.) will be done.
In your case what is the visa office you mentioned in the application?
