I've ordered and am waiting on GCMS notes, but looking at the chart here it appears that I should expect to wait at least another 4-5 months since I haven't cleared IP1 yet? Seems on average 80% clear IP1 by this point in the process, and the remaining 20% don't see much movement for a few months after the 6-month mark. Is this due to a special process that maybe more complex applications have to go through?

When the 6-month mark comes, I should have GCMS notes, but I also plan on raising a CSE. Anything else I should do expedite the process or gain some peace of mind?

Thanks-

This IP1/IP2 stuff is informal and can't be relied upon completely. Many applicants go from IP1 to IP2 after a long time and then in a short span of time after IP2 (background check processing) go to PPR. I was in IP2 for only 3-4 days after spending 100+ days in proverbial IP1. So you never know, I guess all you can do is wait and check GCMS notes.

I am stuck in ip1 since for around 5 months from 29 may 2019.
AOR: 21 March 2019
Mep and biometrics: 3 may 2019
Ip1: 29 may 2019
Gcms ordered in 8 july 2019 recieved in august:
Eligibility: met
Criminality: not started
Security: not started
Medical: passed
Info sharing: complete
Sent email to ralph on 24 September and he gave same status as gcms.
I feel that my application is stuck somewhere
Ordered 2nd gcms notes on 7 September that was not released and they asked for extension for up to 90 days.
Anyone in the same boat. What could be the reason and what can i do ??
