Damn, I guess I'll have to wait for another 6 months.

My background check status changed back to "In progress" again. It was completed but again changed to "In progress". Does anyone experienced this before? Is this a sign of something?

I think, but not sure, the background check has a limited validity. As the applications are taking so long so it may have expired and probably it has to be done again if i am right. I heard from someone that validity of background check is one year. Please see your last background check date and calculate the validity. This is best i know about it but still, need to verify my statement.

All of you from 2020 and 2019 who are still seeing no movement should consider joining together for some kind of class action writ of mandamus. 2022 paper applications are getting processed in 4-6 months. This is just plain wrong.

I believe they have forgotten those applicants who submitted their applications in Jan 2020. The last update on the Online Status update was on 3rd August 2022 and there was no change and the status remained the same which was done on 6th June 2022. It is really depressing that after more than 2 1/2 years we are still waiting to see a light in the tunnel. Our friends who submitted in Jan 2022 have already got their citizenship. We have to pray every day that's what we can do now and hope that our status will change as well very soon.
