Guys just called IRCC and they said
Security has not started yet. Expect long delays. So, looks like I need to make up my mind to not expect anything for the next 6 months
. Although I am technically Inland now, they are processing my application as Outland looks like. Please dont even get started stating they are the same (inland vs outland). No they are definitely not.
Also, because there is no progress on file, its almost confirmed that the release of GCMS notes DOES infact create a Ghost Update (GU) one day before its released. Good luck to the folks in situation just like me. Atleast my WP is not expiring anytime soon. I now begin to be grateful for that.
-- To avoid followup questions (as there are too many folks in this thread at various stages) --
IRCC number: +1-888-242-2100 (Once the introductory COVID speech is over, press 2-1-0 without listening to each thing that is being said).
Also, I tried 5 times and 5th time it said you are placed in queue. I gave my number and hung up and received a call back. Other times, system said that they are busy and asked me to hang up and mind my own business
.
