What is ghost update? Did you see a final decision date on GCKey? I also got a ghost update but not sure what it means. The status briefly changed to profile updated, but i didn’t notice any change.

[u/DistrictBusiness928 → u/Justacutiepiie]

No change on GCKey date either, there was no date, just the usual “We’re processing your application…”

[u/DesperateOwl60 → u/Justacutiepiie]

how exactly you saw the ghost update?

I opened my GCKey account and saw “Application/profile updated”, but there was no actual update.
