I also applied on July 17th. Received a request for Biometrics on July 18th. Now application status says "Your action is required". As VACs are closed, I can not take any "action". So I am stuck, not sure if I would receive any update regarding two stage processing. As of now, it just looks that they are waiting on me to submit Biometrics.
