You can email to London visa office if no response after 4 weeks. Make sure you refer the following instructions. When I sent them inquiry they said there is no reason to check with LVO if passport is in ISB. I am confused if they read the letter before sending me.


PROCESSING TIMES: Your application will be finalized within approximately 4 weeks from the date your passport(s) and all the required documents are received. Please allow an additional 13 days for the return of your passport(s) by courier, if applicable. If you have not received your passport after 4 weeks, you may contact us at the IRCC London office using the email form on our website. Please send all enquiries regarding this application to the IRCC London office (not the IRCC Islamabad office).

This is ugly truth and you have to be ready for 6 to 12 month based on a lot of applicants , and during this time you will pass by many stages
1. you will receive Email from visa office asking you to send some forms and document as per check list
2.if they need any additional information they will send you email
after 3 to 6 month (security screening )
3.you will receive medical test instruction
4. you will receive passport request to get visa in my case 14 days after medical received

i can feel you angry and disappointed, it happened to me but i didn't miss my language with any one . and yes i read your question before i answer you no matter if you don't like the answer.
Patience is the key

@amjad, you analysis reflects the reality of the Covid 19 era. Before then, outland dependants used to be processed within 4months after PA get approved for PR.

However, there is a change in policy from the 4th December 2019. Applications are now being processed concurrently for applicants with dependents outland ( I recently got my GCMS notes and I noticed that my spouse criminality is also in process, same as mine) Which means processing time will almost be the same with PA.

We all just have to wait and be calm. IRCC is doing the best they can in this situation. These delays isn't really their fault. We should just try and go on with our lives... I can't believe it's almost 10 months since I submitted!!!... Before we know it, it will be all over.
Let's stay strong!!!
