I am a 13th June applicant. AOR1 29th June, SA 4th Aug, AOR2 19th Aug. I thought my application will be processed fast track like a lot of other April application (I thought they processed applications until 13 June this way). But looking at the spreadsheet, it seems like only the applications whose applicant's "InProgress" day (not the sponsor's in progress day) is until June 13 is processed fast track.
Anyways, I was fed up and followed someone's suggestion here, and applied for a TRV on Monday. Today is Thursday, and I have received the Original Passport Request from the visa office. Essentially, it took them 3 days for the whole processing. It was especially surprising because my wife is a completing student, and doesn't have a job or bank balance or anything - No ties back to the country except the family.
So, it is possible guys. If you are thinking of applying for a TRV, go ahead!
