Then after sending her the documents requested the did not acknowledged that she received the documents, in their System. Whenever I called INZ for the update they use to say that the CO has requested some Documents from me in September. But after few calls, one call centre officer contacted my CO and then she acknowledged that she have received the documents and is processing them. I have sent her the email for an update afterwards but she didn't respond. My lawyer has sent her the email for an update three weeks ago and she didn't respond to him either. Any suggestions on what should I do next? Thanks
I can't be sure whether all the CO's notes will be released to you, but I think it's worth a try to make an OIA request. You have a right to know what's going on with your case and it's very unusual for processing to be taking as long as it commonly appears to be lately. Just be aware the OIA requests can take several weeks to come through (up to 5+ weeks in my experience recently) and there's no guarantee that a CO's notes will be releasable under OIA.
