Yes, I noticed that too, hahaha. And your application is about 2 weeks later than ours. Our applications did not have any update until 3 weeks ago, So I am sure you will get news about your background check in process soon too :)

Hi , Our background check started on Jun 5 . And I checked ECAS on June 18, the status changed from " in process" to "decision made". However in GC key it is still " background check in process"......Did you check ECAS? Do you mind to let me know what day your background check started and whether you have DM in ECAS yet?

I think bc started on 25th of may sth. Almost month ago. No decision made for now on both method. But every case is different. Mine could be little problematic. So have to wait, i guess.

Gckey is where you would find out about the background check.

The Rep sent us a screen shot in May, which says on the Background check line: Your application is in process. We will send you a message when we start your background check. So that I understand is BC hasn't started yet, right? Thank you.

It would be “ background check in progress not in process. And yes it mean they have not started yet
