Well, I submitted my application on 8th May and today, 16th May, the application was updated. My UCI number from previous work permit has been allotted. However, my medical reports AND Background check is under review. I have read that the BG check doesn't start unless Medical exam has been cleared. Any thoughts on this?
To be clear below is my status. Also, typically "We are processing your Background check" appears later in the process and not in the beginning. Any clarification is most welcome.
