Did they say that for it to be passed, an oversight of another officer is required? They said that my eligibility has been met and another officer can review if there is a need. They said that met and passed are the same thing as far as I remember.
From what I have learned from discussions in other forums, MET and RECOMMENDED PASSED.. are the same thing.
However, the decision of eligibility being PASSED is taken by the senior officer who has makes the final decision for the application..
but his decision is heavily influenced by the judgement of the case analyst.. If the case analyst marks eligibility as MET or RECOMMENDED PASSED.. there is a every chance that the senior officer is going to go by this recommendation.. He does a closer scrutiny/ review of eligibility if the case analyst's recommendation is something like REVIEW REQUIRED or something..
So you should definitely be happy and relaxed.. Congratulations on getting recommendation for eligibility as PASSED..! It is a major hurdle, one that not everybody crosses easily..
