The visa officer further said self declared letter dated 2020-03-23 appears to conform to employment in the declared occupation( which I guess it is the NOC) throughout the specified period and provides Job description. However, employer did not provide an official employment letter or job description.

Apologies for the late response
Yes they did and it changed back to in progress after the response. And I got a GU a month after for meds expiration and and other one 3 weeks later no change. Another one 2 weeks later I got meds extension and BC changed to we are processing. Then about 1-2 weeks I raise a CSE asking about my application because GCMS says I had to wait 120 days in total so I needed an update. However, I got PPR mail 3 days after CSE.

Thank you so much for your response. Was it the supervisor/HR that signed the letter they sent to the Verification email to or was it sent to the email on the website?. I want to prompt the person that signed my letter to get ready so as not to cause delays.

It was the email on the company website which happens to be the same on the letter headed paper. Most people had it the same way but to be on the safe side you can ask both the person monitoring the company email and the email written in the letter belonging to your HR.

Hello seniors..
I have a query. Apart from getting my bank statements of account, do I need any other letter from that same bank for proof of fund? My POF is with Firstbank.

Looks like officer never read the roles and responsibilities letter signed by the Manager. What was the order of documents when you submitted the file? If it was in same order as your list above it seems like he never reached page 3. It happens. Raise a webform and resubmit all the documents with LOE and explain that you are submitting a letter from manager as company refused to give reference letter. Then attach the same documents again.

Hello house. I got my gcms notes. I have Review required in my employement records: for self declared duties. The officer recommended that employer did not provide an official employment letter or job descriptions.R75
I work in banking and my bank doesn't give reference letter to staffs who are currently working with them except you resign. That was why I gave a self declared job duties on a plain sheet. I can not your the office letter head too bcoz it is against the bank's policy.
What confused me is that I submitted my offer of employment letter and the officer is still commenting on it. Does it mean that he didn't see it? And what can I do if I can't get reference letter from my Bank?
Hi, I have similar situation. I work in banking industry and my company issue me a reference letter without job duties. I provided a self explanation letter. I called IRCC last night and my eligibility was review required. Now I order GCMS notes to try to understand the reason behind. Shall I know whether you get your PR finally?

I rec'd GCMS notes last week ordered from CBSA a month ago via GETGCMS. Request you to review & guide on the next steps!

---- POLICE CERTIFICATE ----
Primary Applicant 1 – USA FBI police certificate: Provided-NRT 2 – India police certificate: Provided-NRT R10 OK Recommendation: Review Required – Statutory Questions
===========================

Background:
Category: FSW-O PNP
NOC: 2171
Expr: 15+ yrs in same IT company (Deputation: US-6yrs, UK-1yr)
PNP: SINP nominated (July'20)

Employment Documents:
Reference Letter: Got Notarized Reference Letter from colleague as company doesn't issue Reference letter to current employees
Additional docs: ID, Offer / Joining / Promotion / Annual Compensation letters, Payslips, Bank statements showing Salary deposits, Tax Returns (India, US, UK), Work Permits (US/UK), Retirement Funds (EPF, Superannuation, 401K), Award Certificates, Appreciations from Client, Sample emails showing communication related to projects with Customers
US Student Visa: Refusal in year 2003 (declared as part of Statutory question)

Question 1: Even after providing so much documentation for current Employment (15+ yrs) and having got nominated by SINP, why still Review Required on Eligibility? I think, I have provided exhaustive documentation to support the Employment claim. Is there anything else that you would suggest me to do?

Question 2: Statutory Question: Review Required
After having refused Student Visa in yr 2003, I was granted Employment Visa by USA and worked on deputation for over 6 years. Anything to worry about the Review Required here?

Question 3: FSW score at ITA 73 and FSW Points Assessed: 53. What's causing the assessed points to be at 53?

I'm puzzled for FSW Points Calculation.

My FSW Points Calculation
Education: 23 (Masters)
English Skills: 23 CLB8 (LRWS-8, 8.5, 6.5, 8.5)
Experience: 15 (6 or more yrs)
Age: 7 (40yrs)
Adaptability: 5 (Spouse CLB7.5)
Arranged Employment: 0
——————————
FSW Score: 73
——————————

Per GCMS notes, FSW Points Assessed: 53. In my case, this is possible only when 'Employment' & 'Adaptability' points are NOT considered. Is the assumption correct that till Employment Review is not completed, those 15 points will not be added to FSW Points?

But why are Adaptability points not added yet? I have included Spouse's IELTS along w Educational docs. Do I need to submit that again via webform?

Appreciate your inputs.
Appreciate if you can review the GCMS notes and guide on next steps that I should take to satisfy the Officer reviewing the application.

Thank you!

So here is the thing, definitely the FSW score is reduced because of work experience points. Did you share the reference letters for 6 years of work experience?

Thanks @mr.preetsingh

I submitted notarized reference letter from colleague for full duration (15+yrs) of employment with the same company along with lots of other documents (details in my original post).
