Why this matters
A procedural fairness letter is often the last chance to prevent a refusal. Missing the 30-day response window typically results in the officer proceeding to refuse without considering the applicant's submissions.
Lawyer review required
Legacy reference — The deadline is computed from the letter date (April 10). Verify whether the 30 days runs from the letter date or the date received — confirm with the client before setting the calendar entry.
