I also received the request/reminder letter today and I was so confused. It looks like they send it automatically?
What is the inland express request letter?
@irinaaas11 Yes, it looks like it's sent automatically to everyone! We already paid all our fees and did the medical so figured it must be automatic.

@clozzabear, my partner (Principal applicant) got this letter by email: it contained a reminder to pay the biometrics fee, a reminder to do the medical examination and a reminder to pay the right of permanent residence fee. We thought it was strange because we had already paid all the fees, and he has already done the medical examination, so we think it was just a generic reminder they send to everyone.

Ahhhhh I see. I also got that. I also thought it was strange that we got it. My partner (Sponsor) got really confused by it and started stressing over it haha I had to pull up the receipt that we had saved to show her we already paid it and that it would just be generic

Hello,

Applied March 29. Recieved an email today saying forms Imm5532 need to be signed. Do I print this form and sign it and then upload them? I figured the "online" signature was enough.

Thanks
Did they return your application or just asked to resubmit one form?

Are you certain that you included this "digital signature" in all places? (at least 4 places to sign, there are more if using interpreter)
If so, have you printed to PDF first (effectively locking the input fields)?

This is one of the most troubled forms with different reports of this form being returned. Personally, I just printed, signed and scanned.
We entered data saved the form (Ctrl+S), went to firefox to fill our names in the signature fields, saved to the same pdf and uploaded those. Apparently, you are supposed to print to pdf to lock in the data?

I am so scared now.

Printing and signing is an option. They do accept digital signatures and I think (hope) that your signature will be accepted as well.
There is no clear understanding what is accepted and what is not. I have reports of this form being returned with digital signature as well as printed and signed version. Unfortunately, I never seen actual returned documents, so some reports may be not really correct. And I also have reports of both of these signatures being accepted as well.

Don't overthink. If you signed everything (either way) and the form is correctly filled, I think they'll accept it.

You have a very steady/good timeline. I pray it all works out smoothly for you.
I applied around same time as you with a valid biometric done from a different application type, but no medical request yet.
