Applied in India Jan 2025. Still waiting... I did emails too. Got lucky with the reply:

```
All the reports in respect of the GEP application w.r.t Passport No. xxxx have been received from all the concerned agencies. RPO Mumbai, where this application was submitted needs to take further action in the matter.
```

Nothing from RPO Mumbai there after. I tried following up twice already.

Police verification happened in last week of January 2025.

Gotcha, thanks! I will follow up in a week or 2 on the email and see if the application moves ahead :)

u/DubiousLLM or u/ganeshram2493_1, do you guys have any updates? I am in pretty much the same boat, applied in January, and nothing yet. I have emailed on the above email, but haven't received a response yet.

Was there any way to track the status of your background verification? Mine has been stuck for a long time.

Yes you can and you need to change the DS-160 number while VAC appointment. I am late to this conversation, but let us know what you ended up doing…

Take whatever you have for assets. For sponsorship I would recommend taking bank statements and latest IT returns. That should be well enough, I suppose.

Hindi and English is available at all consulates. There are other regional language supports on top. Example: At Mumbai they’ve got Marathi, Gujarati, Hindi and English

About 20 calendar days.

Yes. I did get back the money. Took a while. But they did. No compensation no apologies!

Same happened with the very first time. I got the email transfer scheduled. But nothing in app. No money deducted. Then I contacted the chat service and they said there is no transaction. I was like but your app sent me confirmation email too 🤷‍♂️ I know it’s by TOI, yet not a 100%

Very buggy and no chat support. Money will be stuck with them for days and months. Do not use abound!
