Hi, I am new here. Here's my timeline:

AOR - April 5, 2023
Medical status: You don't need a medical exam
Biometrics status: We don't need your fingerprints (done biometrics for the OWP app in 2022)
Background check: We are processing your background check

I think my application has stalled. They haven't updated if I passed the medical exam. Who has the same situation as mine?
Doesn't this mean you already passed the medicals as it is the first step? Not sure tho

Has anyone with AOR 25-28 April already gotten their medicals approved? I've noticed that it's taking about 30-35 days for AOR April but nor sure. Anyone?

Hi all,
I've just noticed my eligibility now says completed on tracker but in gckey my eligibility is still being reviewed. Is this normal? Can I trust tracker to be accurate?
Also, I've submitted biometrics earlier today. What is the approximate timeframe within which I can expect to see it updated on tracker and Gckey?
As of now gckey also still states action required and biometrics not received.

Yes, GCkey will keep showing "in progress". Post MEP/BIL, your source of truth changes to PR tracker. That biometrics not received is a little odd, it usually gets updated within the same day of submitting your biometrics at VFS.

Your Eligibility and BGS will be "in progress" on GCkey till you get your passports stamped (or eCoPR).

Thanks so much for clarifying. One step closer with eligibility being completed then!

Regarding biometrics, I submitted it literally 5 hours ago at VFS so I'll probably give them till this time tomorrow before I stress about it.

You had me confused. I thought you were April AOR You are April AOR! You had delayed MEP and BIL? (no timeline in signature is the culprit :D ).

I think your Biometrics will update in 2-3 hours (usually get updated during early morning EST hours).

All that's pending is Background check then. You seem to be on fast normal track.
