Hi there, if Biometrics are applicable to you, have you got it done already? Also, please what email did you send your enquiry to and what was the subject of your email? My brother applied online (UK as well) on 11th July but only got his biometrics request on 10th August, Thanks

Hi Bryanna,

I've applied on 11th June (no biometrics and no background check are required), 6th August wrote an enquire about my application and on 9th August received an answer "it's under active review".
But since that time, there is no answer or any action in online account... 10th week is going to be finished since I've applied, 50th working day!

So, I suppose that "under active review" means nothing, like simple "autoreply". Fortunately, I still have some time before the trip, but the work of the London's office is really frustrating.

'Under active review' means what it implies. It's not an automated response.

The delay in your case could be because you have temporary residence status in the UK..... or maybe the visa office had to verify certain information from other visa offices or from third party sources which may not be the typical background check type of information.

As you received the 'Under active review' response as recently as August 9, you will get a decision soon

It's just 3 miles between VFS London and the visa office. The visa office has probably even stamped your visa
