By definition, you don't receive an e-mail confirmation when you have a ghost update.I have a doubt here...Do we get mail if the status gets changed...What I am thinking is if there is any kind of change in the application we receive a notification in the mail...Let me know because its a big hell whenever I try to login it takes lot of time and every time the home page appear again I have to give credentials every now and then..So do we have to login everytime to see the ghost update or do we get the notification to our mail...
That's why they call it a ghost update, you don't see any traces of it on your account or receive any notification by mail, it only shows up when you log into your account, and it shows that your application status is updated. But the next time you log in, it will revert to submitted.
That means there's been an update on your file. At this point in time, i.e. for those who are past the 6 month mark, it will usually mean PPR is on the way.
