A li'l update:

I just got our GCMS notes today, July 25 2012. I sent the request on June 26, 2012.

Doesn't really contain much except that I confirmed that they received my hubby's passport the day after he sent it. Eligibility, security and criminality assessment not started.

What's exciting is the last four pages under NOTES where you can see the "flow" of the process so far, and I'm also glad to see initial screening has been done even if ecas still says "appliaction received".
Also, GCMS were generated on June 28, so nice to know that there is a possibility that this is not the most updated status of our application.

Hello, I got our second GCMS today (not that it matters now ;D ) but I just want to share , might be useful info for some.

Since the last time I received the GCMS (generated 6/28) this time its generated 7/30, Eligibility, security and criminality assessment was not started still. Only thing I see that's new is it looks like the VO requested for copies of IMM1283 (financial eval form) and IMM1344A (SA & Undertaking) from CPC-M, and of course my first GCMS request was also indicated there.

That's it, no other update for 1 whole month, so it looks like whatever assessments they finished and whatever finalization they did on our application was done between July 31 to August 16 when the visa was issued (roughly 3 weeks). What I can conclude from this is that applications can just sit there for months (waiting for results of security check perhaps or the next bring forward date) but once they start working on it it just takes a few weeks to finalize.

That is so interesting. I want to get our notes because I am curious. How do I go about doing it?

Hello, I know what you mean, Its very interesting and I'm very curious to see how they finished it, I think I'm going to order a third one just to see when exactly they finished the assessments and the final review of the file. And I think I still need this info, since my younger brother is putting together his and his wife to be 's application and I'm their consultant as of the moment, and I have a feeling that i'll still be up to the very end , haha.

Here are some useful links:

excellent excellent excellent!

i have a question though. in envelope #2 you included proof of your relationship (wedding photos, etc) but then you made a whole new envelope for proof of your relationship (#3). why did you put this in 2 different envelopes?

thanks!

thanks!

what is included only in envelope 2 are wedding photos , reception , etc, and they are there because of the questions in the spouse questionnaire regarding these events and it says there include pictures. so in reference to the questions, we included those specific photos there.

But the separate envelope for proof of relationship includes photos not just from wedding but from the year we met up to the last month we have been together int he Philippines, also communication proof, and other proof like receipts, tickets, financial documents, etc.
;D
