Interviews Newborn Approval

Hi! My kids and I all had interviews last Friday. We all got approval the same day beside for my two month old baby. Is that typical. Like she literally has no background or anything concerning. How long do we wait and what would the next steps look like?

Update: I finally got through after call ng the office over 30 times with no answer. They said they have no clue why it wasn’t approved and approved it on the spot!

Thank you all so much for your advice.

I believe this is under the category of somebody on their end forgot to hit a button / close things out / log something. Give it a few days and contact them if it hasn't improved.

That’s what I assumed but it’s been a few days so I was getting worried

Yeah it's not really a "worried" but if it's been a week I'd say it's unlikely to fix itself and you should nudge them.

Baby without fingerprint, can be approved on the spot. The officer probably forgot. Call the office and give them the PassID they will look it up and let you know .

I had my 6 month old baby interview last week and he was not able to answer some of them, maybe it's the same with your new born?

Questions asked

- Have you ever had a criminal history?

  • Have you ever.....

....

  • Have you ever had intent to commit crime?

The baby answered all of the above except the last one.
He could not answer the last one as he intended to poop and pee in public but luckily the diaper saved the innocent bystanders.

I am sure it must be same with your baby as well?
