Hi,
I have applied for LMIA based WP from India in Feb 2021. Unfortunately I got Procedural Fairness Letter in Aug 2021 alleging misrepresentation for not disclosing H1B Petition denial (4-5 years back). It was only the petition denial for my past employer as they were unable to produce proper documentation. Since the petition was denied and I never went for applying H1B visa, I never considered it as a Visa denial for myself but considered as petition denial for my past employer (petitioner was my employer in the application). I travelled across lot of countries in past 4-5years getting visa from every country without disclosing the H1B petition denial (not visa denial) but i was very unlucky to get this procedural fairness letter.
My attorney responded to the PFL within allowed timeline with all the supporting documents that i could gather and pleaded it as an innocent mistake by claiming it as a petition denial but not visa denial. PFL response was submitted in Aug 2021 and there has been no response from IRCC till now. I got GCMS notes yesterday and found "Recommend Interview" in Eligibility section and "In Progress" in Info-sharing. Rest all were passed.
What are the chances to get the visa approval and what might be the expected time? Anybody faced such issue?
