Got the following email today from them:

We have accepted these documents on this occasion however, please note that supporting documents sent to PO Box 5852 WILL NOT be accepted after 31 July 2019.Any documents received after 31 July 2019 WILL NOT be accepted.

How long between the two emails? I got the first one too.

Suppose it's a sign the case is being looked at now though...

Hi Nadeem,
I also received this around two weeks ago. Does this mean it's being looked at currently or is it going to be looked at and when it is we will be emailed again?

Hi,

Just received the email too.

The processed visa application for GWF reference number - gwf was received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 8/19/2019 .
If a courier service was purchased from VFS Global, your processed application will be delivered to the chosen address.
If not, your documents can be collected during the designated passport collection times.
Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do NOT reply to this email.

I think this just means the passport is ready to collect and a decision has been made, will probably find out once we collect the passport I guess.

But will keep you posted.

22 working days today.
