I applied on march 4th for my mother in law. Biometrics were completed on march 10th. No movement on the application. Purpose of visit was my wife's (her daugher) operation which was in may and travel dates with itinerary were in beginning of may. The dates on the invitation letter and on the application are not relevant anymore. It's been 3 months and we are not sure if we need to reapply or keep waiting? Mother in law lives in Russia which is under war with Ukraine, maybe this is the main reason the application doesn't move?

TRV processing is taking way longer than expected these days and it is pretty random. Some people get approved in a week while some take 6 months. Try raising a web form and all one can do is wait.

I've raised a lot of webform, no response until the last webform on may 12 where I request an emergency treatment of my application because my internship start on may 23 and my flight is on may 20. They answer may 13 that my request is send to the agent responsible for my application. 1 hour after, I got the BVL
congratulations !!!! i am very tempted to do this as been 96 days (new ircc portal) since biometrics and still no response or webform reply, my only problem its now 145 days processing time for my country so if i withdraw, dont want to go to the bottom of queue for Gckey
can i ask if you had to pay application fees again when you changed portals?

yes, I paid application fees again. there's no refund.
And for me the processing normal time was 45 days.
So for your case if the processing time didn't exceed, you should wait.
