Ghost Update #1 or Real IP1 - "In progress" 1: Background Check changes to "Your application is in progress. We will send you a message when we start your background check." Usually follows MEP. Some applicants (especially Inland and CEC) skip this stage. You should receive an email for your Real IP1 - the email will not provide any details, just that your application has been updated.
In my humble opinion it is very useless to follow up what so called IP1 2 or NA ..whatsoever in practice when an employee post a transaction in your profile that requires for example two successor approvals it becomes unavailable for you as viewer because it is processing in the background in the system.
For example for background check the status is not started, an employee release its staus and change it then an approver will receive the notification to work on this profile thats probably when you see not available because the status is floating without approval that time, if 1st approver releases it from his side it becomes initially approved probably see it in progress a second and final approval gives you a transaction is completed.
The point is though most applications go for the same process but is not fixed not a bible they could keep negotiating a transaction in between back and forth for days and an applicant goes in sane following a muted conversation thinking that he caught a ghost update.
I work with similar systems and explaining transactions from the abstract is so unreliable.
I just booked one in San Francisco for February. They seem to be going quick in the USA.
I checked all four VFSGlobal sites and couldn't find any appointments. Really concerned that this is going to delay my application
EDIT: Called the operator and there's many appointments available for Seattle but the airfare is crazy expensive these days so I will wait one or two weeks to see if I can get something in NYC.

Wow they get booked fast. Earlier this week Seattle had whole week open for appointments. New York and San Francisco only had next Thursday open though
Seattle was super expensive coming out of Chicago. Actually San Francisco was my cheapest ticket. You'll get your Biometrics. Good luck, we will get in.
Nice! I got Alaska Airlines flight from ORD to Seattle for $230 roundtrip. It is my understanding that San Francisco requires to quarantine (I may be totally wrong so don't quote me on that), so I went with Seattle
