Nope it seems they are not processing it or may be their focus is on student visas.

Didn't had Medicals.

Thanks

I am also in the same boat. Applied on Nov 2nd. Biometrics was done in a previous visa application. Any idea of whats the processing time under GTS? It is supposed to be 2 weeks expedited processing but due to COVID it has been delayed.

My lawyer told me i am not required to give medical

Okay. its all on luck it seems no one really knows, only thing we know due to COVID no more 2 week processing exist atleast large amount of data (applications) to support this.

so thats why expect anytime from one month to three months.

if lucky it might come within a month.

all the best.
