It's not really a delay, it's just part of the process (frustrating as it may be). We were still 11months end to end out of LVO for a straightforward marriage case, no dependents from Ireland. The COPR was literally the only thing that was fast. CPC Strikes may be affecting as well. Hope you land soonYes. So they processed it pretty quickly then. Now they have backlog. I haven't talked to visa exempt applicants, but all non-exempt applicants are facing 2 to 3 weeks of delay time.
