Does ordering GCMS notes delay the file processing?It does not boost , instead it puts your application on hold, Because they need to compile all the info and provide you final report. I just got notified about it by MP when I inquired, and that also puts your file out of standard processing times. So only apply for GCMS notes if you have been waiting out of standard processing times. Unknowingly after reading from posts in this thread I stalled my application for two months!
No, ordering GCMS notes does not delay the processing of your file in any way. It has no negative impact on your file and an applicant can order as many GCMS notes as he desires. In some cases where there has been no movement on the file a movement was seen after the GCMS notes were request. This is because before the GCMS notes are released an officer has to look into your file even when he was not supposed to. Therefore ordering GCMS notes is safe and sometimes beneficial.
