I applied on the 10th of April and submitted docs and fingerprints through the IDV app on the 23rd of August but got this letter below today. Does this mean more than 6 months from 23rd of August or from 10th of April?
Did anyone else get the same email?We aim to process all applications within 6 months from the date submitted. However, in certain circumstances this target is not possible. Following our assessment of your case, unfortunately it appears your application will not be processed within the 6 month target.
It is taking longer than usual to process applications because of coronavirus (COVID-19). This will not affect the decision. We expect to make a decision on your application as soon as possible, but we will write to you again if this is not going to be possible.
Also is it like a system email that gets fired automatically or does it mean that actually someone looked at my application and decided that its gonna take more time?
Thanks
