Received GCMS notes today after one month exactly. Since I've already received PPR, it was very interesting to see the path the file has followed up till now. I'm happy to see their positive comments, so I'll just copy here for the heck of it
File reviewed Forms dated Nov/14 Dependents: married (first for both); 3 children under 18 yoa – accompanying, BC x 5; MC; ppt biopage x 5 on file. Education; employment; language docs – no apparent concerns. PA and spouse both speak excellent English – IELTS on file. PA’s experience makes sense in light of career progression; good docs submitted; worked for a known company; references found to PA at Company XXX in a senior role on internet. No apparent concerns. PA states family in Canada; not verified as points suffice. Satisfied PI secures sufficient units under IPRA. POF met. Eligibility passed.
This summary note was generated on the date we received our request for medical, RPRF etc. Points to note: (1) they didn't verify our relative's status, as points came to 68 without relative. I guess they only do when otherwise points are either clearly insufficient, or in doubt. (2) working for a known company, easily verifiable on the internet, is an obvious plus. They likely don't verify through other means if the experience in verifiable through the internet. (3) We had applied previously in 2010 for FSW which got returned due to Job Description mismatch, and we had mentioned the same in our file while applying this time. They have noted elsewhere in the notes that
"Previous FSW refusal - acknowledged on forms". So they are pretty thorough in verifying your past and present history.
Hoping for a smooth journey for everyone else here as well.
