My update:

AOR on November 11th
MEP on Dec 12th
Biometrics requested on Dec 12th
Biometrics submitted on Dec 12th
Application updated with the Biometrics info on Dec 12th

BG status has been "we are processing your background check..." since AOR. BG status hasn't changed.

I guess I am in an IP1 stage now.

that's not too bad, if your background check is already being processed.

Mine was N/A. Then it is now that I will be informed once my background check starts.

I honestly doubt that status means anything. "BG in process" appeared literally at the moment I submitted my application.

I have heard that some people (individual applicants as well as family applicants) got visa within 1.5 months to 2 months mark including start to finish who applied outland as FSW from India.

sure you can, I myself got it in 19 days last year, but that was a trend that time for 10% of the applications. so you can say that very few applications still have a chance to be processed in a month or 2.

yeah, apparently last year it was much quicker.

Heck, last year people got ITA even in the early 400s, like at 417

So has anyone who was requested for ADR and submitted it later, what is your status now?

Mine it says "We are still reviewing your additional documents provided" since December 4

Hi,

Yesterday I got a message saying to complete a form Release of Information IMM5475: A signed and completed Authority to Release Personal Information to a Designated Individual form (IMM5475) bearing original signatures. Why do I need this form? I am not using any third party organization to apply for me. I have my wife and my 2 year old as my dependants.
