Hi. PRBIO seems to be a fairly new item in the Gcms Notes. Seen it appear in the file even at the Eligibility Review stage (recommended pass only when it appeared) and doesn't seem necessarily correlated to biometric exemption. Seen PRBIO in files and biometrics were still required. As for the due date, some things in the file can be almost irrelevant. Due date even when they are mention don't matter much. The key is the Assessment section on page 2 and if things are progressing well then that's really the important takeaway from the file. All the best.
You mean when it's recommended pass we will have (PRBIO) in our GCMS notes?
Thank you in advance

Hello @legalfalcon

Hope this message finds you well!

Based on this, can I rest easy?

I have combed through the forum, but under the new format I am unable to assess whether eligibility has another stage to be passed.

Thank you for your kind help

Your eligibility is yet to start. The note you see is the R10 or the completeness check note.

If there are any other notes after this one, that will be the eligibility notes where your cRS and employment details will have been discussed.

Thank you for your reply, I do find additional notes discussing my employment details and some other notes on top evaluating my CRS, with A11.2 mentioned beside it, I did not attach these last time to keep it brief :https://ibb.co/4f6sLqr

Does this imply that eligibility is done?

This note is where your eligibility is discussed. After this, the review is done by an officer and the eligibility is marked as passed

On my GCMS notes first page on the top right it states Eligibility: Passed. Is this where the officer signs off?
The passed on page 2 is the assessment based on the notes entered. It is the notes that matter and who entered them.

Hello @legalfalcon


My application status was Ready to Finalize as of 12/05/2020. Got married on 18/01/2021. Now spouse adding is under review.

The GCMS note (received today) says - "for review of spouse added after lock-in" - What does it mean?

At this stage, when can I expect Approval?

It simply means that adding your spouse will not change your CRS score and eligibility will not be impacted. Your spouse will only be subject to medicals, criminality and security.
