I knew a lot of HK May/June applicants were still waiting for their DM, most of them got AOR2 in early July or August and nothing updated except interview requests since that. Last 2 weeks a bunch(at least 10 ppl) of March to June HK applicants received interview requests in Jan, that's it, I have not heard any DM yet

Hi Iris, Happy 2018

I am HK April applicant(application received on April 26,17), and I am still waiting for DM. I received Pre-arrival on Nov 02,17. And I received another email bulletin 2: important update about your immigration application on Dec 15,17.

Since my case was handling by a representative ,so I can never link my application online, So I didn't know when exactly my background check was started? But I call the call center in Early December and found out they are now processing the background check.

Until today, I still haven't got DM yet. So should I be worry ? Should I order GCMS note in order to find out more detail about my application?

Thanks

Happy New Year!!
First of all, it is definitely a good news that they have started your BCG. You are 99% progress to dm now!!! Please do not worry about the BCG time frame, I have heard HK office usually takes longer BCG time than other Visa office this year and it is totally normal for HK applicants, there are several applicants are in the same situation as you right now. All you need is to wait patiently right now and good news will come, if you really worry about it, feel free to order the GCMS note. Just keep in mind, it takes 1 month to receive your GCMS note after you order it, you might get your DM in next several weeks hopefully. At this point, you might not need GCMS notes, since it is already very close to the end of journey. Have a nice day.

My application was recevied in late April,2017. And we submitted additional document on Early June. SA on end of June.

I have got an email about my pre-arrival service in Early Nov. Until now, online status is still in process.

Since I can never link my application online due to my application is handle by representative. I didn't know when will my Background check be start ?

I have called the call centre(CIC Mississauga) a week ago, and there are voice record message about my application status and one of them said we are processing your background check. ==> is that mean my background check is already started ?

Thank you so much for your reply.
And Yes, you are right. I think I should wait and see if I can get my DM before end of January. If not, I will order GCMS note then.
Have a nice day.
