Oh ok. I was confused as to why they sent it to Warsaw. After talking to my MP’s office, he told me they usually send applications to other under-utilized offices if they have too much of a backlog. It makes sense, especially during COVID. Cant be 100% sure why it went there but it sounds reasonably true.
How did you come know your file sent there?

This seems true for Warsaw. Also to Vienna. There are only a certain number of visa offices in 'europe' that handle family applications and some like London and Paris typically cover large parts of the world eg Pakistan and the Maghreb.

Also some offices are in countries where lockdowns have been more severe hence probably bigger backlogs. (Even when visa offices don't shut completely they may be on skeleton staff and only handling emergencies)

I agree. I just don’t understand why they sent it there at the tail end of the application process. Everything prior to the PPR was done at the London VO and then all of a sudden it was sent to Warsaw. I just hope they don’t take too long to send the COPR.

They're just trying to catch up; it's not following prior-to-covid standard operating procedure.

I know this feels like an exceptionally long time without proper communication, but - alas - it's not that long.

I'm new here, we just got notified last week that our application was sent to the Warsaw VO when we received our SA. Anything I need to know to start off? I started reading this forum from the March 1st entries and I'm a bit scared tbh...
