Hi Mates,I quote this from someone I forgot. With due thanks to him/her
STAGE 1:: After we submit our application, the BG status would be NA and it will be there until we see a change in Medical status (Passed).
STAGE 2:: After medical update is done, then agent at CIO will change our BG to IP or NBG (usually known as IP1). Then, he will start R10 check, Criminal checks.
STAGE 3:: After the above checks are done, then he will change BG to NA and our file moved to next stage for Eligibility assessment (A11.2) . Once he/she feels that we are meeting the Eligibility then he/she will provide his/her recommendation to Visa Officer and initiate the Security Clearance. At this point only our file will be moved from CIO to CPC.
STAGE 4:: Officer at CPC will review the recommendation, Security clearance reports. Once he/she satisfies then he/she will approve the recommendation. Then our BG will be changed to IP again (usually known as IP2). This is where PPR (Passport Request) mails triggered to applicants.
I personally second this thought. Hope this helps.
Does anyone know when the NOC's be validated, I am little anxious about this stage, since my NOC and JD does not match completely. I am sharing the timelines below
