How long after documents received will the next update happen?

I’m anxious about the update being “application is processing” or whatever the manual update is because those definitely seem to be taking a while. How long after the documents being received does that update usually happen?

reply to #17215 @flakysparrow depending whether your application is online digital route or post with additional documents, but as a guide mine was a online renewal applied on 5th May, signed for 6th May, received by PO office on 1st June the longer it remains in docs received the better as this means the digital route is more likely before falling into the manual route.

Theres really no telling how long the next update will be. I have been stuck at documents received for 5 weeks now, I keep hearing that its a good thing its not saying processing as its still on the digital route but it`s still not moving on.

Reply to #17222 @sodlooow you should definitely contact the PO and ask to be connnected to the progress team, I’d say you need assistance

Richie Ive heard that if you contact them it can be put on the manual route. Im under 10 weeks and dont have a flight booked so dont think they will help me yet. I shall leave it another week or two and then see, it`s very frustrating I need it for ID and thankfully not a holiday.

I don’t think calling necessarily means it will go into processing. I had a not put on my sons application to link it to mine to share documents and it never went into processing. I phoned twice and had a call back.
