Hi all,
I am also stuck at ip1 status. I had submitted my application on 17-Mar-2018 and post medical clearance it is stuck at ip1. It has been more than 3 months now and i am getting frustrated everyday when i check the status and it keeps showing "... we will send you a message when we start the background check" . i had sent them a mail requesting for an update and they replied that the application is in process and they will contact if any additional information is needed. I had searched about this and found that application from India do get sent to Delhi Visa office for processing which may elongate the timelines. Not sure if this is true in my case.
Please advice what should i do as i am getting worried as each day passes by.
