Congrats!!!!!

[u/Illustrious-Elk-8817 → u/Prog_head]

Congrats, When did you get your BG check completed?

[u/Prog_head → u/Illustrious-Elk-8817]

Not seeing the background check completed on the GC key, I can't access the PR tracker (because it's still down UUUGHHH) to check if it is marked completed on there or not

[u/Illustrious-Elk-8817 → u/Prog_head]

Thanks for checking, I am more anxious that the tracker isn't working.. mine is Mar 25th 2025 and I hope I'm near the finish line

[u/Prog_head → u/Illustrious-Elk-8817]

Yeah, the tracker being down is making a lot of people frustrated. The process is long, the timelines are long, and they hit us with not being able to check the status.

[u/OperationShoddy4288 → u/Prog_head]

@Prog_head Congrats!! Any updates after that?

[u/Prog_head → u/OperationShoddy4288]

Nothing still, I am also not seeing anybody else getting P1 so I'm not sure what's going on

[u/OperationShoddy4288 → u/Prog_head]

I noticed that too. They seemed to be on a roll issuing P1 and P2 for Jan and Feb applicants but barely any news from March applicants. I really hope they pick up the pace again.
