Hi there, I emailed a little while ago to ask for an update and this is what I got back.
We are sorry for the inconvenience and apologise for the delay in processing your visa application. I have noted your details now, thank you for your cooperation.
In the meantime, as communicated to you earlier your application status still states "Initial pre assessment and online verification has been conducted. Application is in Entry Clearance Officer’s queue for further assessment and checks/enquiries". This means your application is still
under processing and you have to wait until a decision is reached by the Entry Clearance Officer (ECO).
Nevertheless, as it is taking longer than expected to process your application, I am now re-escalating your case with the Home Office and requesting to review your application and provide us with an update.
