It is hard to tell, every case is different. Many complaints about London VO for being slow these days. As per immitracker processing time at LVO is within 200- 300 days for most of the cases, occasional cases took longer, some cases were fast for January/ February 2018 applications.

It's insane...
Can PA apply as for a visitor visa then?

I'm a principal applicant from Pakistan. My timeline is mentioned below in the signature. I don't think its related to the applicant's country but rather the respective office and the workload there.

But your situation seems different. There's a rare possibility of loss of your application, but if the application is there then you'll hopefully get your AOR soon. AOR can take up to 5 months. May you application be processed easily and swiftly!

That is so frustrating, as I see people that sent the application last day of December and they already received the AOR.

I’m in the same boat. Got a request for multiple documents in mid January. Sent everything to the email address in the letter. No update. GCKey still says “action required”. It’s been over two weeks and haven’t heard a thing.

I got an email after 2 days of submitting it. Now for some reason they are asking to fill a representative form even though I'm the sponsor. Not a big deal I guess. Gckey shows they received. Hopefully you got yours already. Good luck

Yes...I guess...
As long as you can prove strong ties to your home country, that's what matters for them the most in case of granting visitor visas.
