Received pre-arrival letter yesterday. What does that mean exactly in the process? How long does it take usually 'til the next step (decision made) ?

Thank you :)
Congratulations! That's so exciting! I can't speak to what's next as I haven't gotten there yet. But I'm curious to know how long it has taken you to get to this point, if you don't mind sharing your timeline :)

lots of new people here...


I don't know if there is still people from Jan 2017. Anyways, so our app took longer because I made a mistake by not getting the FBI before or interview and/or when they requested the PCC clearance, I didn't realized we needed them until they told us at interview. somehow we manage to get those before the 16 weeks mark and were able to send the FBI clearances last week, so according to the officer at the interview they will contact us in 30 days after they received the docs, fortunately they contacted us today, they are requesting the ARC fees, If somebody has knowledge about arc, do they ask for the Fee first and then the arc application or vice verse? I mean they just requested for the fee, would they skip the application? My husband was approved (eligibility) on his interview but they just wanted to wait for the FBI records. also I have asked this question before but received not answer, does anyone know if the medicals can be extended after they have expired? And also would you recommend to request for the GCMs notes? I mean i am not worried about the process but I would like to know if this worth, to see whats in there.
