I applied June 20 for a TRV. It's July 5th and they still have not even begun to review it. Is this normal? I see others getting theirs processed and/or refused within 1-2 days sometimes. Obviously I don't want a refusal, but why are they not even beginning to review mine? When I applied it said normal processing time is 14 days -- it's 15 days in and nothing has even started.
I wonder what I should ask specifically via webform other than.... "why aren't you reviewing my application?"
you can ask about status through web form....i asked it nd applied on 21.jun and got this reponse
