Hello LegalFalcon, do you have any insight on how long London Visa Office takes to review eligibility? I ordered GCMS notes and got them early June. At that point it said Security was not started and Eligibility was not started but the notes contained all sorts of eligibility reviews with candidate passed so I assume it was assigned to the LVO to review again and do security.
I have ordered another set of GCMS notes which should come early July but it appears that London Visa Office isn't very fast in reviewing the files.
Any ideas or experience you can share?
When the eligibility says "Candidate passed" is simple means that as per the candidate and the R10 the eligibility is passed. The eligibility is then looked into by the program analysts, after which the states goes to "recommended passed" or may say "review required" depending on what the file has and if there is an issue.
After this the file usually goes to LVO for outland applicants, where the agent will review the recommendation and make a final determination and this is when the eligibility will go to "passed".
If you see instant updates, that is good and your file seems to be progressing well. I don't have any statistics on specific office, and i don't believe in speculation as every file is different and will have a different officer reviewing it. Just keep a check on your file and soon you will be in Canada, even before you know it.
