I'm sorry but I'm late to this thread.. what is getting mathew'd? doesn't sound good.
anxiously waiting on GCMS and gonna give CIC a call after the long weekend. I've never called before- can i ask them for the case notes over the phone?
Call and ask specifically about your eligibilty if it has been passed or met or Recommended passed.
Assuming the reply to either of the above is positive then you're awaiting the final review.
If the reply is that your eligibilty is review required then it's not the final review.
I think the reply you got is related to the final review but your call will confirm or deny my assumptions.
Remember to be specific with your questions.
