Guys got my MEP cleared today. To all those who got MEP/BIL, are you able to see a progress tracker window which provides an estimated time for completion of the process in your CIC account?

I was surprised to find this as I’ve seen no mention of it on any discussions earlier. Is this a new feature added by CIC?
Yes I got MEP/BIL last week, and able to see it after that. Seems just a generic timeline that updates as day go by, not by actual progress.

It seems only FSW inland/outland candidates are getting medical/BIL updates with in 3 to 4 weeks. For CEC, it is taking longer. Is my understanding correct? If any one knows the CEC tracker for Sep 2020, please let me know.

But this one is USCIS center. How did USCIS center help in getting biometric for CA PR applications ?
Also , it provides dates only after two weeks. So does it mean that once you get the BIL you want to wait for 2 weeks for an biometric appointment ? Please throw some light on this topic.

ASC is an Application Support Center associated with the USCIS, however they will take biometrics for IRCC. From my research you need a confirmed appointment. Check the “Moving to Canada from US“ section of this forum. You will find more information there of people who have done biometrics via ASC. I will also update my experience here once I am done.

Thank you very much. Actually I tried looking for available appointments. Every center around me is showing appointment availability after 2 weeks. This was strange as not a single center (Different State than CA) showing immediate appointments. By process they are allowing appointments only after 2 weeks ?

I think so, last year i had similar situation with my biometric for WP in state MA and ended up booking it after 2 weeks.
