At least your eligibility review has started. I'm stuck at background check since September 2022. I recently received my GCMS notes and there is totally nothing from the notes. My application was last updated on 30th November 2022 according to the notes.
Other than that there is no useful information at all. I don't know whats happening coz they are not responding to webforms too
Where you applied from

@legalfalcon Thank you for the brief reply. I understand it much better now. About my application eligibility, medical and biometrics are completed on tracker just BGC is showing In progress since 25th Feb... by your explanation looks like I may expect some delays then since security clearance is still under progress. Just FYI, my application is Work permit though not PR and it falls under Singapore visa office. My fingers are crossed for no delays.. let's see how it goes.
May I just ask when did your Eligibility started and when was it completed?

We're on the same boat. When I applied, the processing time was 10 weeks. Upto the 2nd week of May, the processing time was 8 weeks, then all over sudden it shot to 48 weeks then later reduced to 43 weeks. They are not responding to webforms too. I applied for GCMS notes and they show that the last time my application was updated is 30th November 2022 and only Criminality-Bio has passed. I keep getting ghost updates on my tracker but the status remains the same.

Wait for medical to pass

Eligibility & back ground checks can take weeks to months

Just have to wait

The visa officer needs to assess your application and decide whether to approve or not. Passport requests are not guaranteed in every application

Every application has its own complexity and during processing if visa officer needs anything more they will send you an additional document request

You have to wait for a final outcome on your submission.

Good Luck
