Hi,

I just got my GCMS notes.

My study permit application has been in process since March 19th. I got my GCMS notes today and it says the following.







What exactly does it mean?

Does it mean that I need to go for an interview to the embassy?

Likely an interview is required, but that was Pre-Covid19 situation. They may drop this and just issue an AIP when its reviewed again. They may conduct a phone interview instead of embassy because of Covid19.

With whom did you apply for your GCMS notes? How much time did it take?

I'm from India. I did some digging around it seems that "Recommend Interview" does not mean an interview is mandatory. It seems that it will change to "Interview Required" in case an interview is really required.

From where u got this information that recommend interview is not necessary and it can be waived off.

Visa applications are reviewed by at least two levels of people:

1. Visa/case processing analyst

They review all information and can only make recommendations as to what happens - ie, recommended interview, recommended refusal. They may be able to refuse some clearly ineligible applications.

2. Visa officer

They review what the analyst's notes are and make final decisions, including whether or not an interview is required. As @getsthingsdone says, GCMS notes would change to "interview required" if the visa officer determined that one was mandatory. A visa officer may disregard a recommended interview.

Hi friend, I have exactly the same as you. But I start class as the college is asking to. I just ordered gcms, but nothing changed much after that.
