What is checked first in application

[Suin]

Hello,
could you please advise me from your experience - what they usually check first as soon as they start working on the application the the visa office? Do they check and make decision whether the relationship is genuine and qualifies for sponsorship and as soon as they are satisfied with it they start the background checks and health? Or they just do the relationship genuineness check only after they make sure that the sponsored person's background is clean and the health is good?
Thank you

background checks/medicals are at the end of the process, from what I understand. Thats how it was in my case.

Oh wow! I was under the impression that medical and background checks would be done before relationship evaluation. It makes more sense imo because they would deny you automatically if you fail the medical and or background check. Is each office different maybe?

yes, that's the way I was thinking too.... So, does it mean that if someone is under background check, they are satisfied with relationship proof?
