Hello All,
I have received my CAIPS notes lately, and in it the sentence "FILE PAPER SENT TO PCO" keeps repeating in all pages of the report. My question is "what does PCO stand for?"

Thanks All for your anticipated answer/s.

I think it's the V.O. name whom will be reviewing your file and calculating the points.
Also this mean that the calculation is near, as the name is identified.

To my knowledge,what I hv read somewhere, PCO is some file/documents STORAGE site. If VO needs something, he looks into the file and then this paper FILE is sent back to storage area!

Hi Friends

PCO is the VO who reviewed or will review your file my was sent to DGH after that it went to In Process.
if you still not sure just click on search on this forum and many things will come up on CAIPS notes.

Thanks all, but the VO initials come straight away after, like wise "Paper file sent to PCO; File BFD (bring Forward date) to PVM (VO initials) 10-11-2010 Microlocator". Do you still think that the PCO is the VO initails? or to rephrase my question; do you think it's ususl for 2 VO initials come within one sentence? Don't you think that the PCO stand for a certain establishment that has to do with background inquiries? :-\
