    Had anyone who applied for CRS in November received VI? Shall I consider this a PFO as I'm not familiar with how CRS processes this but can anyone who's familiar with it confirm whether CRS sends all the invites at one go for a particular area?

    It's not like bad. I mean even if you answer all the scenarios correctly or get most of them correct you could still score low on those 4 pillars based on your choices even if they are the correct ones and your efficiency while answering.
