Check your background option, it should be changed to in progress
Actually no changes... BG still shows
  • We are processing your background check. We will send you a message if we need more information.
I guess you got an email for the ghost update?

AOR - 10 August, 21
BIL/MEP - 9 September, 21
Biometrics updated - 10 September, 21

The current status still shows "Your action is required. We need your biometrics to process your application" even though I submitted 13 days ago. Do I need to do something or just wait?

AOR aug 21
One dependent - both inland
Medical exam done in 2019
Biometrics done in 2019
Email update - sep 22 - but no changes

could you guys answer me a question? I am new here and confused! My background say that is in progress since I submitted the AOR. Both medical “You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes” and biometrics says the same that I don’t need. Does this mean passed?

I was wondering what says under you medical exam. I also used an old medical from 2019, under my medical says “You do not need a medical exam. We will send you a message if this changes”, does your say something similar?

No, the application status show the same UCI from my work visa. Do you think that is why it says that I don’t need medical and biometrics instead of passed?
if the uci is the same as your visa, it means it has been updated. The temporary uci for ee application starts with CAN

I believe you need to wait. I have given my BIL today morning. It got updated by afternoon and its showing Action required . By Evening the status moved back to Submitted Status.
