Update in my profile yesterday. BG check went In Progress. Details in signature.

Congratulations. What's your visa office

Hi Guys, I came across this topic, and I just realised that I have mentioned that I have not been denied a visa before in my PR application. However while I was talking to my parents, my father told me that I was once denied USA Visa when I was a minor (12 years) of age. I had just accompanied...

Hi. We had the same issue, albeit I was the primary applicant and not my spouse. The Ielts and eca were on old name and old passport. We got the passports changed and got the medicals and pcc on the new passport with her married name. Enclosed a letter of explanation for the same and also...

I believe all of us will start getting regular updates only from February onwards when our files get transferred to the Local Visa Office.

In the Background check - what's the difference between not needed at this time And Not started Does it indicate anything? In my profile it went from not needed at this time to not started.

True!

There are varied thoughts on the fees aspect. Many applicants have received their PPR within a month or two off late and all of them had paid the fees upfront. So as such I dont see any fixed pattern to the methods. I personally feel its just up to the visa officers who handle your case and...

Yes quite possible that since I did my medicals early and my application got stuck for the want of PCC, they might have my medicals data ready! Also, there is no other change in the status and its not required at this time in all the fields.
