We used to think they actually went throught our stuff (evidence) before biometrics but now it seems they do AFTER biometrics. All they really check before they accept it is check if you filled the applications right and if you signed them. THAT IS IT. Then once you have done your Biometrics and checked out cleaned, then they actually go throught everything you have and RFE you.

ive studied the spreedshets a lot and this seems to be it

but really all it takes it a cup of coffee to really make a difference since its not some robot doing everything. they scan everything, and someone sits in their computer going through each file (probably PDF) and checks.


The only think we can do is make it easier for them. By this I mean making our application as organized as possible. Pretty much we are selling ourselves. The fact that later applicants are being approved quicker than those who applied ealier tells us is NOT First come Serve like they told us.


I don't feel bad anymore sending my application out late
