Procedural Fairness

[skara]

My husband and I received a procedural fairness notice yesterday, after our biometrics, but they have only requested for schedule A and proof of funds. We are unsure of where we might have been at fault. Is this how it is supposed to be?

Are you sure it's a PFD and not an ADR? Post the full letter here.

In the application, it says that it is a procedural fairness request, I am quite worried because of the title

This doesn't seem to be a PFL. It is a ADR.

A PFL will clearly indicate that it is one.

If you are not sure what to do, you will be better off scheduling a consultation with an immigration lawyer.

Why do you care what it is? Just submit the required docs per their letter.
From reading it, it's not a pfl.

Hey, I too had received a PFL last week, but in it the officer had stated his concerns. We consulted a lawyer and responded to them on thursday. On the same day I got another letter, also called as PFL in the subject line on the profile. Its contents were only asking for the updated Schedule A for me and my spouse just like the one you got. It also mentioned that they were adding my spouse's medical results to my profile as well. We are planning to send them the updated forms. It looks like an ADR but its confusing because the subject was PFL.

Is this the first document they are asking you in a while?

Its nothing to worry about , I received the same but instead of POF, they asked me Schedule A IMM5669e and evidence of spousal relationship. Even though it is mentioned as Procedural fairness outside, unless it is mentioned as 'serious concerns' or as procedural fairness there is nothing to worry about. I contacted a lawyer when i got one and they said, its perfectly fine. I myself can prepare without a lawyer and senn them.
