u/Forward-Effective-16

Hi y’all, wondering if anyone else had to wait longer than the usual 2 weeks to be referred to ACE after submitting documents. I know there’s crazy delays in general right now, but hadn’t heard of anyone else waiting this long just for the initial referral, so thought I’d check here for peace of mind.

I emailed documents on 7th of April and got confirmation they were received by the Home Office on the 14th (only after chasing, didn’t get any kind of automatic confirmation email). It’s now been 3 weeks and I still haven’t gotten any word on being referred to ACE; my follow up last week only resulted in finally receiving the automatic confirmation/‘do not chase’ email.
