I got my 4TH GCMS Notes and there's no new info except me asking for notes my minister calling in.

@umuchima can you check your last GCMS notes to see whether they marked the field "ministerial" as 1 or 0 please?

@BBC it's the same rubbish they responded to me with I think they have met their quota and is just beating us around the bushes. Just a quick question if an not mistaken didn't you get request for something back in May or there about?
Hi queennanetor, I didn't get request for anything from the AVO since the file was transfer and I hope the won't ask for anything

Hi everyone, we got an email for an interview next week. We were only asked for my husband to bring a copy of a signed photo ID of the mother of his son, and passport photos of his son. His son is non accompanying.

We will be busy preparing for this. Please pray for us. Congrats to @umuchima .
Congratulation becos, I am very happy to see your case coming to an end and I pray that your husband gets his visa next week by the grace of almighty.

Nope. It's a waiting game every step of the way. I guess I can say it's not over until the day I pick my family up at the airport.

How about you? Anything yet? Has the status on your myCIC changed since PPR?
I can't agree less. Nothing yet oo, my passport was received on tuesday at AVO so am just sitting back watching them. These people like putting people under pressure, knowing one has limited time to land I wonder y they take so long stamping a passport. Perhaps they think we own private jets. Some people work and need time to sort themselves b4 relocating, they tell u not to start making commitments to traveling till u receive back ur passport yet they still take ages to stamp a visa. It is well anyway.

Meanwhile YES the 4th line added the other day.

Thank you to everyone. Although we all don't know each other personally we all have become friends and supporters of one another. And I just want to say how much I appreciate the love, support, prayers from everyone. This experience has tested us all more than we will ever know and I pray with all my might that PPR lays ahead of us this week. I know this is the universe just testing our patience and our ability to perservere through diversity. I feel as if I'm on the edge and hopefully soon will be able to jump into happiness and the next stage of our lives. Thank you again. Much love and prayers to you all.
@becos I must say that you've been so wonderful on this forum and a source of encouragement to all.
Please don't be afraid, you are there already and God has given you victory..
Please I want to hear the good news come next week.
Good luck.!!!

Probably like ours:
  1. We received your application for permanent residence on February 1, 2017.
  2. We started processing your application on June 15, 2017.
  3. We sent you correspondence on March 3, 2017. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional information, as the correspondence will outline all information that is required.
  4. Medical results have been received.
In this case the third line is from when they requested the schedule A (which has long since been received)

Just remain calm and be prayerful. The next step will be their decision on your case which we part would be PPR. from what we have seen, there isn't a specific time frame to expect to hear from them after submitting additional docs.

@Kwamtin and @nwaefulu_716, I guess u guys are Dec 6 2016/2017 applicants. Am Nov applicant so in my case everything was sent upfront. My status maintained only the ist 3 lines from time of application till PPR, nothing changed. As u can see it didn't even show I passed medical.

So these are two different processes. Most of us who applied earlier the ist ever correspondence u might get might just be PPR like my case unlike the newer applicants where they ll keep asking for one thing or the other.

All the best guys!
