So yesterday I received my GCMS notes. Today my boss received an email from immigration asking whether the employment letter I provided is legit and if I still work for the company. Sharing with you:

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this ! I did not know they contact the employer and confirm these things.

I just wanted to know how frequent is this? I mean is it something like 8/10 people get this confirmation email? In this case, I have to tell my employer in advance so that she keeps an eye out for this email.

Thanks in advance !

My case is similar to yours. Aor Jan 16. Adr: feb1. I submitted the FBI pcc on feb 16. After that it's same "still being reviewed". Last Gcms notes show that they have touched the file till first week of April after submitting adr.

You're very welcome, pleasure to be useful. I learn a lot with this forum and the least I can do is give back as much as possible.

I've been reading a lot about it after it happened, also wanted to know whether it's common.

What others said in the forum is that immigration does random checks (probably for quality purposes), so they contact 1/10 employers to verify the information provided; the other case scenario is if they're not satisfied and/or not sure whether the company exists or you really worked for them.

Funny cause on my GCMS notes there's a comment from an agent saying that web search proved the company exists and the letter of employment I provided seems compliant. I guess I was selected as one of the random cases.
