So the IP2 is real?
If you got a ghost update around 25 days after MEP, it is. You don't have the ghost update in your signature, so I have no clue about your information.

Thanks for the feedback. But for me there was no ghost update after MEP. The only thing I noticed was that my application status was on 'updated' after I got the letter to do biometric which was just for a day.thereafter it has been 'submitted'. So I guess it is now IP2 for real

Did you get a ghost update today or not? There are so many people talking that without you having it in your signature, I don't know the answer to that question/statement. I don't know if you are relying on my response to someone else or something you said.

Never mind if you didn't get my point. I was actually replying to your post. You have been helpful

The same thing happened to me as well. My profile was showing updated for few hours after biometric instruction and later submitted up till now.
Congrats on real IP2.

Congrats to both of you for being in "real" IP2 now. Ghost update around IP1 to IP2 timing for those already in IP2 seems to indicate the "real" IP2 that FSW-O, non-biometrics, non-RPRF see as a transition from IP1 to IP2.

Thanks Buddy.

I have not given my Biometrics yet. Do i need to wait for an update on the profile asking for biometrics or can i just go book an appointment and get it over with(like with medical test). Not sure how the biometrics process works, but on the cic landing page when i go through the wizard, it says that i will need to give biometrics. So wondering if it is wise to wait till they ask for it - or - get it done proactively to avoid delays.

You're in IP2. No steps until PPR except possibly a ghost update. Please check my signature for explanation of terms. If you don't see the signature below my post, turn your phone sideways.
Sorry I am trying to turn my phone sideways but nothing to read it please send again thank you

You won't have to give biometrics. Indian citizens aren't required to give biometrics prior to December 31 AOR and yours is Dec 7.

FYI for everyone else who will need to give biometrics: You must wait for an instruction letter to give biometrics.

You should login to check your mails and confirm. However, the first 2 mails when submitting are successful transmitting of application and AOR. The 7th of Feb makes it about 43days from your AOR, so that recent update may be for medical passed. But again, you can only verify from your CIC account. Hope this helps.

Many thanks fr answering.... :)

Interesting thing i noticed in my profile today is that the remaining processing time is 4 months. Taking into account my AOR, it should be more than 4 months!!

Hi @USProgrammer, I got the ghost update just 1 day after MEP and Biometrics Collection Letter. Does that count as an signal of "real IP2"? I am in IP2 since AOR and paid RPRF upfront.
