Hi all, I recently discovered this thread and have been following it every day. I hope someone here can help me understand what is happening as I'm very confused!

My husband applied for his spouse visa renewal (FLR) on 22nd May 2020, he submitted the application and paid all the required fees. My husband did not upload any documents at this time on his UKVCAS account as it was lockdown and some of his documents were not ready to upload.

In mid august my husband received the IDV app invitation. On September 22nd 2020 my husband uploaded all his documents and biometrics onto the IDV app, since then we have heard nothing. We are both getting really stressed as we do not know what is happening with his application and cannot understand why so many people who applied after my husband have received replies but we've heard nothing.

Can somebody explain to me why his application might be taking so long? is there an issue with IDV app applications? I would really appreciate any advice. Thank you in advance.
Pure luck. Try not to stress and stay positive. You will hear soon. Did you try to contact HO??
no not yet as as we're waiting for the 8 week mark since biometrics as I understand from reading this forum you need to pass this before contacting HO.

Also this may help: I received a UKVI survey on 6th Nov but no decision email. I contacted HO on 10th Nov. I received my approval in POST on 14th Nov (dated 12th Nov). So if anyone of you receives a UKVI survey but no decision in email, best to contact HO. I am not sure if that triggered my approval sent via POST.
