Hi @navyharry => You have two entries - One in Jan 2020 and another in September 2020 spreadsheet. Could you please let me know which one is correct? Looks like the entry in the Jan spreadsheet is the recently updated one. Should I remove the entry in September?
I'm thinking Jan 2020 is his and sep 2020 is his wife's.

Please post an update once you receive the test invite email and once after taking the test.

You'll receive the test email 1 or 2 days before the test start date.

Good luck!

The entry on the spreadsheet "Nasir60" is being added to the spreadsheet with incomplete entries though I have deleted it. The person that added it (from the spreadsheet version history is "Bushra Nasir"). It is beyond me as to why someone would add themselves to the sheet repeatedly but would not provide the latest update on their application... The test email was on April 26th and the test window has expired but the person added him/herself again without providing a test date.

Update : I was able to find the email ID of the person who keeps adding him/herself and I have sent an email requesting for an update.

Unlikely to happen (expect for some 2019 applicants). I haven't seen a report, at least for any September applicant.
in that case there are so many applicants in october 2020 i think 90 out of 100 are without BG completed and first those 90 will have to wait for that in process status completed in new tracker ( which can take approx 1-2 months) and then test invites will be expected 1-2 months within BG completed so those 90 (including me) can not expect test invite untill september 2021.............what do you say?

I don't think those stats are correct. We don't necessarily collect the BG complete dates for all applicants; We update it if the applicant mentions it in their post. There is no separate column on the spreadsheet for BG Checks completed date.

The consensus was that applicants would be invited about 3 months from the BG date, which is also not true for all applicants. I am well past the 3 month mark after the BG complete date (March 9th) but still have no test invite so this theory doesn't hold good for everyone. Further, my application has been in "Test Ready" status (from GCMS notes) from March 24th.

Having said that, the time between BG complete and test greatly varies between applicants. There is no method to the madness. Someone who had their BG completed recently could get a test invite within a month while some people get test invites 4 - 5 months after BG checks are completed. So, it is hard to predict even a ball park timeline when there is so much randomness in the process.

Rest assured, once the BG checks are completed, you will receive a test invite, the question is 'when'? As a very rough estimate (given the current delays for test and oath), I'd say a sizable number of September applicants might take oath by December this year.
