Received a fresh version of notes today. Our files eligibility assessment is still shown under review required. Amongst last months notes, the note which described the eligibility assessment process only had a dump of some of the proof we submitted and nothing regarding the VOs thoughts on the case, it did say that eligibility required review though. However, this time the same note had the VOs opinion and it didnt make for good reading. It read that he found it really unusual that me and my wife knew each other for 4 years and the marriage was not arranged, concluding that perhaps we were portraying the relationship as western so that it would be taken more positively. Said nothing about the 4 years of pictures, chat logs, cards, phone records that we submitted to prove our relationship. So it looks like conforming to cultural norms is more credible to these guys than the proof we submit. Anyway, what is even more unusual is the fact that they extended our medical in February before my wife went in for her remedical in March, dont they do this when they are of the opinion that the file in question will be processed swiftly? Secondly eligibility has not been reviewed since January (according to the dates logged on the note) and we are yet to receive a request for further proof and/or an interview. Really dont know what to make of it all.
