Hi, I applied for TRV under the immediate family exemption on 18th April 2021. I had sent the COVID-19 exemption webform on the same day, never receieved any response. On GCKey I have received biometric validity correspondence on 6th May. Background and eligibility in progress. From what I have seen, the decision usually follows soon. But, I have not received anything after the validity letter. I understand COVID related delays etc. Just trying to understand others with similar timelines/ situations. Applicant is from India.

When I applied they asked for proof of upfront medical, which I provided. I was wondering if that reflects on GCKey. On mine is still shows "You don't need medical exam". I have only received the biometric validity as of now. Does the medical results usually reflect?

Hi, Did you apply for super visa? For regular visitor visa, they do not need medical. I have not submitted medical and they have not asked for it.

No, mine is immediate family exemption- spouse. When I filled the form there was a section which asked for proof of upfront medical. I provided the medical proof from the spousal PR application. Nevertheless, I hope this long wait ends well! :)
