I don't understand background check, I do not know if it is in process. There is no formal mail VO México.
What exactly is worrying you? Your timeline is perfect!

To get an idea of processing times including background check, you should take a look at the Mexico thread here

The wait after AOR2 is the longest, most VO's take months to begin a background check after AOR2 so don't worry, you are fine. There have been people whose files got transferred in Feb and are still waiting for the background check to begin. Keep an eye on the March and April spreadsheets, you will realise you are not alone. All of us are in this together. Good luck to you.

Hi guys, I'm very confused with our timeline.
App sent April 24th, sponsorship approved May 26th. Since then - silence. No request for medical, no schedule A, no police check, no nothing.
ECAS only has two lines and the second line says that the correspondence was sent to PA on My 26th but that's the sponsorship approval letter.
We've submitted the schedule A and police check thought the webform 2 weeks ago, so hopefully they will link it soon. The whole thing worries me but what worries me the most is the absence of the medical request. We cant just do it and upload it since they require that stupid number now which you can't get unless you receive a request for medicals. Any thoughts?

Do not worry! Everything looks normal to me.

Your timeline and all other things are almost same as mine (ecas has two line with correspondence but didn't receive any email after the sponsorship approval letter) except after i sent them the schedule A and PCC my GCCkey says "the documents you have provided has been uploaded". Yours should say the same.

I have got a email few days ago stating my file has been transferred to local Visa Office. Hope you will get the same soon :)
No medical request for me also yet.

My application got sent to the Vienna office, and ECAS say they started processing my application July 4th, how long does the process normally take before the next phase?
I checked the Vienna office thread and it worries me some people still are waiting from 2015/2016.

Background check does not start until later in the process so don't worry.

I'd suggest to call them and inquire about this. They probably forgot to update the status.

Try not to worry. Those applications still fall under the old appplication criteria and it takes 1-2 years for them. You applied under the new changed rules. You should be okay.
