It took over 5 weeks for me to get invite after BG check completed. So some get almost immediately after bg completes and for some it takes some time.

Test invite: March 28, 2023 (Window: March 31 to Apr 20) Test date: Apr 01, 2023 Me and my spouse, both passed with 20/20.. I completed test yesterday itself. Had to convince my spouse that she is well prepared and exam is not tough :) Eventually she agreed and now test is done.

Ghost update: Feb 18, 2023 Background Verification: Completed on Feb 20, 2023 as per tracker (Though the update was reflected today in tracker on 22nd Feb).

Nope. Even I got couple of emails like that. It's called ghost update when you log in into the tracker, you will see last updated data changed to a recent date.

Thanks. Passport was sent on 6th Feb from Pune, India. Actually, we scheduled 2 way courier with VFS so it was picked up from home. And, the passport would be delivered tomorrow. We got update today.
