Please open the link and find London Visa Office in Filter. You will see the United Kingdom VAC option under website and if you click on it, this will open VFS website. Now what does it mean?
VFS is for passport collection and biometric in London, that is Visa Application Center (VAC) and that's for all the countries just like Gerry's in Pakistan, but Canadian high immission London visa office (LVO) is different, it's only for Canadian immigration processes.

Yes, so for example if my spouse gets PPR, she will collect it from Kiev VAC, not London VAC...etc.

I think no more updates from now. If you remember the previous closure of VFS, we didn't receive any update. People got update from July 14th when VFS resumed their work. May be i am wrong, but anyone knows better, please do share with us.

If the closure of VFS effects our case, then May Almighty Allah have mercy on us, because we all are wanting to get rid of this waiting period.

I got the same response.. I sent a web form with a gap of just 15 days to the previous one...
I think it's just an automatic response you get when you send webforms without waiting some time.... Just a guess tho..

bro if you have gotten aor2 and your file has been transferred to LVO then its obvious that your sponsor has passed eligibility now they are working on you...so if you are concerned about your wife's religion status i think they don't have any issues with that

Sister, My ECAS status was changed on July 20, 2020 (i.e. AoR2) and acknowledgement email from LVO was received on August 11, 2020. I know they are working on my particulars as my wife has already got the sponsorship approval.

People are getting the reply from LVO regarding review are in process with the Immigrant Officer. but here I got the reply regarding Background check and Review as well.

As i know they check the eligibility first by reviewing the documents, then sends the Pre-arrival and after that they starts necessary Background check.
