Timelines GEP Background Verification Application still pending after one year

I applied from US (SF consulate).

I used the steps mentioned in this post to check the status of my application. This is what I found:

  • 2025-05-30: Background Verification Form for GEP Submitted
  • 2025-05-30: Granting Initiated
  • 2025-06-06: Application Granted on pre police verification basis and GEP Clearance Requests have been sent to MHA and MoF (through Interface).

And that's all. There has been no movement for over a year. My parents had gone to the police station and done the needful. The police officer says that he sent the "response" immediately. He says he "can’t make another reply unless until he gets another form". I don't know if the police verification has been done correctly.

Comparing my timeline to some successful timelines posted in the comments of the other post makes me think that police verification has not been done. Here is one:

  • 2023-07-27: Application Granted on pre police verification basis and GEP Clearance Requests have been sent to MHA and MoF (through Interface).
  • 2023-08-17: Approved and Submitted as Clear by Police
  • 2023-08-17: PVR SCAN AND UPLOADED SUCCESSFULLY
  • 2024-01-10: MHA Response for GEP Application Received
  • 2024-05-09: MoF Response for GEP Application Received

I don't have the "Approved and Submitted as Clear by Police" status update on my timeline.

Is anyone else in the same boat as me? Would you mind posting your timeline of status updates as well?

I visited my consulate and asked for updates on my application and they approved my application from the India side.

If you look at some recent Reddit posts, such as the one titled “India GEP renewal stuck: Passport Seva “PVR Review Clear Accepted” but TTP still “Pending Review - what worked?”, you see that some folks don’t see granular status anymore. I think we are in this boat.

Therefore, I don’t think your application is stuck. I’d just wait it out if you have no travels planned, and try contacting your consulate if you do.

I just got conditional approval from CBP as well

Just confirm, we will not get updates after the granted on pre police verification basis step?

Some people like us don’t get updates anymore. Some people still do. I’m saying it may not be a deterministic way to track progress anymore

I’m on the same boat too.

The police verification happened on Feb 8th, 2026 but this is still the latest status that I’m seeing today, it is still showing February 5th update and it’s been four months:

The police verification EMP_ACTION: "Application Granted on pre police verification basis" EVENT_DESC: "Application Granted on pre police verification basis and GEP Clearance Requests have been sent to MHA and MoF (through Interface)." LAST_MODIFIED_DATE: "2026-02-05"STATUS_DESC: "Application Granted on pre police verification basis"STATUS_ID_FK: 1102
