Hello.
My background verification has been in progress since September 07 and still in progress.

Where are you from and when your background verification started?

SDS or non SDS. What were first reasons for refusal and did you order GCMS? Did you address reasons for refusal in second application?

Refusal was based on POF despite having enough funds.I ordered for GCMS and I reapplied after resolving previous refusal concerns;but so far Eligibility hasn’t started after medical updated as Passed.

If non SDS, wait a few weeks. Assume you showed your own funds in personal account, paid tuition etc. What country and is that your country of citizenship?

Non-sds.
Yes I showed my own funds of course,I’ve paid full tuition and also GIC as well.
I’m From Nigeria.
Any idea if requesting for Gcms note would delay the application process any further?
I just need some sort of update about the Eligibility or any form of progress on my application to give me some hope.
(Thanks for your swift reply btw.)
