Here is the background.
My cousin (US citizen and PR Canada) applied for her dependent Minor children PR in July 2017 (US citizens) presently in Canada. The husband and wife were not legally divorced but separated at that time since husband had a criminal record. The husband application was not filed by the wife. An explanation to that effect was provided with the dependent children application and husbands signature was not taken on 5604E but an explanation was provided.
Here is the timeline:
1. Application sent to MIssissauga CPC- July 27, 2017
2. AOR - Sep 5, 2017
3. Sponsorship Approval - Sep 5, 2017
4. Medical requested - Sep 11, 2017
5. Medical done - Sept 13, 2017
6. June 2018 - got Letter that Mississauga will continue to process the application.
7. Yesterday - got letter that application transferred to LA Visa Office,
Based on my reading the dependent children PR can only be processed Outland so it may make sense that it is transferred to US. However there is a thread that files are transferred to LA VO only if further investigation is necessary. My relative has no criminal record and no misrepresentation has been made on application.
My question is:
1. Is transferring application to LA VO normal or should I be concerned?
2. ON ECAS it just says - under process.
3. My relative cannot order notes since both parents signature is needed for minor children.
