Hi everyone,

Would appreciate your kind assistance. I received AOR February 2018. A week later medical was passed and I was asked for adr police clearance in my country of residence. The same day I was also moved to IP2. Is that normal? Seeing a lot of posts in this thread, most people take a few months before they reach IP2.

Thanks

@BillHyatt

Kindly assist with this:

I got my GCMS note last week and Eligibility states "recommend interview". Security shows " not started" while Criminality and Medicals, "passed"

AOR is July 23,2017 and I went into IP2 February 27 with Additional documents also changing to Not Applicable.

Actually, I'm a bit confused.

I had sent an email to LVO February 19 and got a response from an agent (VCM, a program assistant) on the same day that the migration officer has decided that an interview is warranted and that the Accra visa office will contact me for an interview date. However, 2 days later another agent (DJM, his role was not stated) responded to the same email stating:

" we are still looking at your case-rest assured that we will contact you once we have an update"

Incidentally, Eligibility, medical and criminality were passed at CIO before transfer to LVO back in September 2017 as stated in the officer's notes. There were 2 notes from the officer at LVO; the text is blank for one while the other note states:

"No FOSS records. Present application is the only one that comes up under integrated search."

I'd be grateful if you can shed light/make sense of this and also advise on the next step to take. Note that as at January 27 when the GCMS was generated, there's no S.15 or any other SS on the notes.

Thanks

They did not say anything about when the interview will be held?
Because interviews are going on right now in Abu Dhabi starting from 18th March till the end of the week I guess.
I had mine today.... It went well.... D officer was v nice n at d end said that he passed my eligibility.
I am a pharmacist n not working currently.... So his main concern was whether I would b able to clear all pharmacy exams n start working again.

I came to know about my interview in November when I completed 6 months on my application.... After repeated emails i got a reply from DRD that an officer has deemed an interview is required which will take place in Abu Dhabi on their next area visit. But they did not have a date for it then. He said he wud contact again once they had a date n to jeep correspondence to a minimum. Then I received an email in Feb for my interview today.
