apparently CIC is going to let individuals know when they can see the bar in their profile. Doesn't seem like anybody on this forum has seen anything yet.
 
Is it possible for one to have back ground check in progress before MEP ? And what stage will that be called ?

They could be doing other checks (like R10) before you having MEP. That was my case. For example, I just got my medicals passed today hahaha (AOR Oct 6) but on Nov 5 my status changed to IP1 (UCI was updated on that day also).

Do not worry. MEP will come. Sometimes it takes more than the average time of 30-35 days. As a matter of fact, their website informs that it takes about three months to process results after they get them from the panel physician.

So if a person has cleared MEP then it is 100% sure he/she has cleared R10 check?
In some cases yes. But not 100% of the time.
If it's not done by the time medicals are passed, it's a few days after.
GCMS is the absolute way to confirm it, but it takes 30 days to get it... And if you go through the 30 days after medicals passed and application isn't rejected, then 99.9% R10 is OK.

my wife who is my dependent got an email about having a progress bar on her profile. Weird.

I can't log in for some reason at the moment.

I haven't gotten any email though
