about the ppi letter and 2nd person check

[happy_scarecrow]

i always heard the ppi letter and 2nd person check, so, my question is the ppi letter should be before the 2nd person check or after 2nd person check?

[JandM]

A PPI letter can be sent at any time during the processing of an application. It is sent whenever a CO finds out or notices some information that could mean the application is not going to meet the regulations. That could be the CO the case is assigned to, or the CO who does the second person check. Not every applicant will get a PPI letter.

So
It means that no one knows the result before the Spc finished ? Right

[JandM]

That's right. The original CO who worked the case knows what decision s/he recommends, but this is not told to the applicant immediately, because if the second CO doing the second person check found a mistake, that decision might have to be altered.
