I got my CSQ in April, 2016 and I applied with CIC for PR in February, 2017. My application was received in February, 2017 and I received AOR in March, 2017 then my application went into processing in April, 2017 according to my ECAS portal.
I did an upfront medical which expired in December, 2017.
Well, in January, 2018 I was again contacted by CIC for re-medical, PCCs, updated Schedule A and Travel History after January, 2017 till date. That I re-submitted to CIC. In February, 2018, CIC sent me pre-arrival information and the very next day they asked for Schedule A and Travel History pre-January, 2017 (which I had already submitted to them). Since then its a complete silence and my 14-month timeline has started (its the 14th). Then I contacted London Visa Office and they said
"Background checks are currently ongoing on your file. This can, on occasion, be a lengthy process. We will further process the application when favourable results have been received. Unfortunately we are not in a position to expedite them or give you a time frame for completion at this time.
Please rest assured that, once this step has been completed, we will be in touch with any updates or further requests. We appreciate your patience during this process."
My GCkey and ECAS both shows that background checks are in process. I am a bit worried now, is it not unusual they everything is done and still background is in process. Can someone suggest, what to do with this situation except waiting?
