oct 2017 applicant. got GCMS notes today, nothing special. nothing started. in notes from december it just mentions they "rcved fee and that they requested medical, sponsor is canadian citizen, when sponsor landed, when the wedding happened and that sponsor submitted proof of relationship marriage cert, cnic, copy of nikka nama with registry seal, nadra marriage cert and photos showing nikka nama signing, and says case held as per cpcm back office pilot. (i think this backoffice thing is for when they were checking me as sponsor before transfer to lvo)
my take of this is that they look for nikanama signing photos upclose, so that is important for everyone to send to them and they look for the seals/stamps on the nikkah nama.
nothing has been done at LVO, i believe above notes were from CPC-M. last update i see was when i sent them documents in April of applicant name change.
