Yes, let us not rely on the online status of our application. Did you see how they updated mine after I received my passport request?timelady said:I was so happy to find this thread. I've been wondering about my status, as it's said "Application Received" for months. They asked for my passport last week, and they've received my medical results. I'm glad to know I shouldn't be concerned that the status hasn't changed. (My case is a little different, as I'm waiting on spousal sponsorship PR, but this still gives me hope!)
I'd rather have them working hard on getting everyone approved than updating online statuses anyway.
