Is ghost update a positive sign or it reflects a negative impact on application

[Aakash1996]

hi guys.. i received a ghost update now and saw the status as application/profile updated and i wasn't able to view. Then it showed me bad gateway and after that i tried to login it changed to submitted again. Is this a ghost update and if yes is this a positive sign on the application? Please guide me through

It could be a background check, these updates happen like 3 times before you're approved/refused. I wouldn't read too much into it

Well you get a ghost update when your eligibility starts. Also most background checks are automatically done by the system. Nobody really knows if it can be a glitch too.

It's pretty much the fact that thy're working on your application. There's been some update made by the VO responsible for your file. I would look at it as a neutral sign, as there are plenty of people out there who aren't even receiving those ghost updates. What's your timeline anyways?
