Sorry for the bad news but we are officially in an endless cycle. We can never ask for any status update or delays and I have proof why. You must notice that there is no progress bar on our applications. Well the progress bar only appears after we pass medical and our webforms (for status updates or delays) are only replied to if that progress bar reaches 100%. Guess what even if 16,17,18 months have passed, no progress bar means we are automatically within normal processing times. I filled 4 webforms since January and every webform I asked them about updates. In the last one I even mentioned about my mental health. Guess what, all the replies were the same to the last word (in process… we will reach out…. Covid delays….)
These are nothing but auto generated replies for applicants who send webform within normal processing times. smh.
