Relationship between 'in process' and interview?

[salsaadani]

Hi all!

I have a question about the 'in process' status. I know on the CIC website it states that 'in process' means that the application is being checked, they will notify the applicant if any documents are missing or they may request an interview, etc. However, as I have been going through the forum I have noticed some people saying that:
a) their status goes to in process AFTER the interview or
b) the fact that their status has been changed to in process means that the interview has been waived.

Has anyone got any idea whether the 'in process' status may signify that there may be no need for an interview? Our application was received at the London visa office in February and went to in process on April 23rd 2013, and it would be great if we had some indicator regarding our progress....I can't wait for this whole ordeal to end...I miss my husband terribly

Thanks for your replies, and good luck to everyone playing the waiting game like ourselves!

I had the same situation like you after a week of my interview my ecas changed to 'in process'

till now what i know is may be they change it afterwards (for few applicants) is they wanted to determine the eligibility first and then change the ecas .
or sometimes it depends on the VO

few VO dont change the ecas that often and few does

may be others can answer this query well

someone here I know ordered his GCMS notes and it showed that his application went in process after his notes mentioned that his relationship was approved.
So if you're in process it means that there's nothing else to worry about. You are passed
Another person I know also had his status cahnged to in process and his interview.

Me too.. unless you saw my post today On our Manila spreadsheet, every single person who got 'in process' either was after the interview or they were exempt. But every VO is different so you will have to check with people from your VO.

Hi there,
I hope I will try to answer your question at the best I can.
1. There are two types of interviews, one is called the illegibility interview which some of the people have before their Ecas status changes to In Process. In this period the visa officer checks your forms and supporting documents against the illegibility standard. If there are holes and inconstancies, s/he will take notes of what is appearing like lies, or regions of doubts so that after S/he confronts you with those points S/he notes, then S/he will determined right there if you meet that standard or not. Again the VO office has the right to request for an interview anytime S/he sees something is hanging inside the application during processing time. The hardest one is the first interview which is mainly focusing on the genuineness of the relationship with the documents supplied.
2. The second interview is security check and this usually occurred after you passed the first one or you were exempted from it. While processing your file if the visa officer notice someone of interest that most countries of the world look for in your wedding photos, or you seem to have link with that person, or again your name comes up at the Interpol systems the visa officer will call for an interview right away and this has nothing to do with your illegibility of your relationship but security checks. This usually happening when your file is at the end because of the security check that RMCP does. I believe you understand a bit about interviews. But you don't need to worry about the security interview if you know that your life is clean but make sure your application is well prepared with proves. Let me sneak this sentence I heard from an immigration officer, he said:” when your files arrives at the Case Handling Center, we know that there are bunch of lies in these envelops, and your applications have to prove the opposite when we start processing them” Since I read that I was so shocked and it was the time we were prepared our file so we became Visa Officers of our own file.

Hope it helps
