Congrats to you. Is your case in Sydney CIO?
Hello, I do not think so. I applied from Istanbul, Turkey and the message I receive was from Immigartion Section, Ankara. I submitted my passport via mail today and I will keep this forum updated.
Just to give a short summary of my application period:
EE Profile Created: 05/02/2018
ITA: 07/02/2018
AoR: 03/05/2018 --> along with my documents, I submitted an explanation letter regarding absence of my "police certificate from USA". I initiated the process however it took 12-16 weeks for FBI to issue this certificate.
RR: 10/05/2018: CIC requested additional documents; a) Detailed travel history b) Original IELTS result.
RR: 11/05/2018: CIC granted 60 days of extension of time to submit "Police Certificate from USA".
RR: 12/07/2018: I still did not receive the police report from USA therefore requested another time extension.
RR: 13/07/2018: CIC granted another 30 days of time extension for police certificate.
RR: 13/12/2018: CIC requested Schedule A: Background Declaration Form
RR: 09/01/2019: CIC requested to provide an original police report or court records.
As I did not follow up my status precisely (only when message received) I do not know the exact dates of status updates like IP1, IP2 and MEP.
I recently started to follow the system on a daily basis and I noticed 3 ghost updates on the following dates:
Ghost update 1: 14/02/2019
Ghost update 2: 28/02/2019
Ghost update 3: 07/03/2019
PPR: 14/03/2019
I was lucky to see my first ghost update when I logged into the system. Maybe there were more updates but I did not notice.
I submitted my passport today to VFS Istanbul office, I will keep this forum updated on the progress.
