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?
The common understanding is that first stage gate is Medical Exam Passed (MEP) and then rest of stage gates (IP1/IP2/NA2 etc.) However many are of the opinion that there is no linearity in the status changes.

Hi all

I would require a help.

I have maintained a fd from last July 2017. What all should I submit as pof. I believe it should be the fd receipt and bank letter. Will they ask bank statement ?? What all the additional documents will the cic normally ask.

Also can I withdraw fd after getting the latest bank letter and submitting the documents to cic.

Hello guys.. Need some advice here..
As @Jakev advised that there is no standard way in which visa officer verifies reference letter... Can anybody shed some more light on this aspect as to how visa officer verifies the reference letter? Do they use contact details as mentioned in reference letter or they approach Hr deptt. directly. Or, are there any other methods? Please advise. Any advice would be of great help.

Usually they contact employer only if they see some discrepancy or reason to suspect employer/reference letters supplied, paystubs etc. Mostly they check for information available in public domain if it matches with letters, like name, contact of company and such things. Contacting employer is not a norm which is followed in all cases. It is at the discretion of Case officer reviewing the file.

Thanks. Yes, I would like to agree with that. My profile updated as "You passed the medical exam" yesterday. The Background Check reads "We are processing your background check". As you mentioned earlier, this verbiage means IP2. Just wondering what happened to IP1,NA1, etc. :) My application is still new. Been just 10 days from submission. FSW-Outland USA. Any thoughts on this?

Hi Chitre.Raunak, I have submitted my application on April 28th and I have the same status that my Medical has been passed and right now they are checking my Background and etc.
I have a question if anyone can answer please: My Wife is the Primary applicant and now she came to know that her Passport will be expired on October 11th 2018. If we apply new Passport, it will take nearly 4 to 5 weeks to receive. Is it ok to apply for the new Passport right now or should we wait for the result of our submitted application? Also if any one can guide tell me that what will be the next step?

All CIC want is that there is a letter issued by your Bank (with contact information) that contains 6 months average balance.
Bank statements, etc. are supporting documents.

I simply went to my local bank here in US and got that letter. Just because I had my bank and credit card statements, I attached them as well after the bank letter as one PDF. You can do the same bank letter + FD receipt + 6 months statements as one PDF

Ask your bank branch manager to provide you your 6 months average balance on a bank letterhead. All CIC want is that there is a letter issued by your Bank (with contact information) that contains 6 months average balance.
