Hello! I am new here and I have been reading most of your cases.. I was wondering if any of you guys finally receive your visitor visa?
I am also same boat like you guys. Applying for visitor visa from Paris. Submitted online application on 9th May, had my biometrics on 1st June, and on the same day my application got updated which are "reviewing eligibility" and "background check". Ever since then, I have no news and still waiting for any confirmation to send my passport to the embassy. In total I have waited slightly more than 4 months now.. I filled out the web form enquiring my application 2x (first time in beginning of August, second time in the beginning of Sept) they gave me 2 different answers.
First web form answer was that: "the application is currently in process and is within the processing times commitments".
Second web form answer was saying that: "the processing times found online are an estimate only, and are not guarantee. In addition, "Every application is handled on a case-by-case basis, and there's no one simple explanation for how long each one will take to process"
