I regularly visit this forum and it has really helped me out with the procedures and most importantly in getting to know what a VISA officer is looking for while review a SOP. It is just that i have registered today so as to put out this information. This is the least i could have done, i am quite sure this would be of some use to others out here, as how others posts were for me.

Oct 07 - Upfront medical.
Oct 16 - Online SDS application.
Oct 18 - Biometrics updated, medical passed, background check started.
Nov 04 - Embassy asked for all my transcripts and mark-sheets, which I uploaded few hours later.

No further updates received. Eligibility review has not started yet.

Does anybody know how long do they take to respond to CSE submissions? I plan to inquire about the status of my application as it surpassed the normal processing time since 3 days ago.
They have just started reviewing my eligibility, I didn't get any email notification but I was able to see the update in my GCKey account. Hopefully it won't take them more than 2 days to finalize this review and give a final decision.

Good luck everyone!

Sorry bro that sucks. I don't know if they're overwhelmed with cases or if your embassy is taking longer to finish the review, which might cause such delays. Anyways, hang in there, you'll hear the final verdict soon, hopefully by the end of this week.
