Hello do you know what is the difference between "in progress" and "pending approval? I often read about pa status but never about ip. Many thanks
Answer summary
The terms "in progress" and "pending approval" refer to different stages in the visa application process. "In progress" indicates that the paperwork is currently being reviewed, while "pending approval" means that the application is awaiting final approval from a senior officer.
