Well, I don't think so because the day I got my MEP and BIL the progress bar has progressed 4 percent and I still have to submit my biometrics.

The progress bar just shows the percentage of time passed after submission. A percentage of the estimated 6 months processing time.

When does the 6 months processing time start for an Express Entry Application?

A processing time starts the day IRCC receives a complete application, i.e. from the day when the completeness check (R10) is done. Contrary to popular belief I does not start when the AoR is issued.

How do applicants know when R10 is done? Will this be when medical is done and BIL is received?

R10 usually is passed around the time when your medicals are passed. This however, is a rough way to know. R10 is always done within the first 2-3 weeks. To know the exact date, you will have to check your GCMS notes. But requesting GCMS notes this early is not advisable. So if you have passed 2-3 weeks post AOR and your meds are passed, so is your R10.

Is one biometric appointment is fine for primary and secondary applicant or we have to book individual appointment?

Only one appointment is required for both the people. Just mention two Applicant while taking appointment on VFS website. You have to take seperate BIL along with you while going for Biometric.

A question about Coronavirus, thanks in advance -

I live in California. I have received biometrics instruction letter on March 4th, and April 4th is the deadline.

Since it is only possible to make appointments 2 weeks from now in any nearby centers, I walked in one of them. People there said they don't accept walking-in even if I have an appointment which is scheduled later this month.

However, I am concerned the possibility that ASC may stop serving by the appointment day due to Coronavirus. One USCIS center in Seattle was already locked down because one of their employees got the virus. NorthCal is also at high risk. I asked the people at that ASC what I can do if the ASC is locked down when my appointment day arrives, since another 14 days will put me beyond April 4th deadline, will my case be rejected because of the delay? They said they understand my concern but they can do nothing about it.

QUESTION: I am sure I am not the only person facing this dilemma. What should we do? IRCC has a guideline to extend biometrics collection from 30 days to 90 days, but that only applies to China, South Korea and Iran. What if the ASC I made appointment with stops serving? Should I drive to every ASC nearby and ask if they accept walking-in?
