My AOR date is Aug 1. My status has been "medicals passed" since around Aug 15. My background check status says "Your application is in progress. We will let you know when the background check starts." No movement has happened to my case other than this.
Other statuses currently on my profile are:
1) We do not need your fingerprints
2) Not additional documents required
Anyone else in the same boat? My status literally has seen no change after Aug 15 when the medicals were passed and background check status was updated to "Your application is in progress. We will let you know when the background check starts."
How long does it take them to "start" this background check?
Not sure if any of this is relevant but:
1) My personal history section is fairly complex with multiple overlapping educational degrees (pursuing full-time degrees and other part-time degrees at the same time), doing jobs and degrees at the same time etc. However, these have been reviewed by an immigration attorney (not a consultant or agent) and they have made this section as clear as possible on my application.
2) Extensive travel history over the last decade (21 countries and multiple trips to many of these).
3) Address history with 6 address changes (all in different countries due to onsite travel).
I do not know if these things make an application more complex to process and add additional time? Anyone else whose AOR date is early August and has been stuck at background check "Your application is in progress. We will let you know when we start your background check"? I'd specifically like to hear if any of you had a complicated "personal history" section with overlapping jobs, part-time and full-time degrees or multiple address changes and/or travel histories. I almost feel like this is working against me.
!! Cheers
