This a guide to help request the GCMS notes...

The actual understanding of the notes is what they're asking about...,

to me, there's not enough info in the quote from the notes to say much about - just seems things are moving along - somewhat, as it is in this whole process

Today I received the notes and I found out that they recommend and interview, I guess it's because of our age difference but I can't find anything in the notes that is related to our age difference and they don't doubt about the genuineness of the RLT.
The only mention in one section on the notes that the reason for the interview is Eligibility! Can anyone tell me what they are referring to?

on the last page of the notes, is there a section that says "notes", and has a typed paragraph from the visa officer? generally, that paragraph can give some inkling into their thought process. on mine, it gave a breakdown of our relationship and whether the visa officer thought it was genuine or not.

i think eligibility is a pretty broad term and can mean just about anything.

Applicant Male, country and date of birth - I have reviewed

Request a physical copy of the file once the interview is scheduled. While pulling a physical copy can affect scheduling, when there is an interview scheduled it cannot. The physical file may contain additional comments, though they do NOT include a copy of the file wrapper as far as I can tell (ergo, they physical file itself). From my own experience and working with others it seems likely that there is some mechanism for telegraphing information that is not included in your notes.

CANNOT WAIT!
I have a question regarding the GCMS notes; is the group number assigned once the case is close to the final review or that's something done earlier on? I noticed it on my recent notes from Feb and wondering if it's of any importance. Any feedback is much appreciated!
