I am in the same boat. Have scanned through inbox and spam but nothing.

I received another ghost update this morning, one on 2nd, one yesterday and one today. Is this a system update/glitch?

Well, they're doing SOMETHING with your application... maybe just clicking buttons, though.

Hahah, I imagine the Immigration Office working from home, going through the application and documents, opening somebody's application and goes "Argh...boring..." closes application, presses "Save" just to mess up with the applicant

Another ghost update today (March 7)! Literally just dropped. Hopefully it's that they've received my fingerprints and are completing my background check.

That's correct, everything still says "In Progress" for me.

hi All,
I have a quick question, I submitted my application on Jan 9th, AOR Jan 24 and nothing after that until March 3rd when my BG was completed. So, I am curious and worried that I never received any request for finger prints? Is this something normal, does it happen usually and if anyone knows if that happens what will be the next steps.

thanks, any assistance/information provided will be appreciated.

I submitted mine on January 9th, AOR on January 27, and still no movement or updates. There are way too many factors that decide the progress of the application, and some of them are unknown to us. They may bounce them from the processing office to a processing office, depending on the application load. Way too many factors. You gotta be patient and wait, or you can try to raise a webform, or call them.

Thanks Dr. Walden, you are right, I should try to raise a webform for this. Much appreciated.
