There is no way to tell.

Your application is probably just caught up in a backlog that may have been made worse by the Christmas & New Year breaks.

Try to relax. It's just a waiting game.

No. Allowing for Christmas and New Year closure, it has only been a couple of working weeks since your interview. That is really not so long.

Ask your University if they have heard anything from UKVI.

The university is not notified of the outcome of the application. All they would know is if the CAS is now marked as "used".

Correct. Status change is always a good indicator. Mrsadnan; the advice would be to speak to your University's International Student Advisor(s).

Dear Iaq07

I never been to UK. My interview happened through skype. Let me tell you how phd admission program works in Uk, so you will get idea.

If you have your own funding like (Hec funding etc..) then you will get the admission easily if you meet University admission criteria.

if you are looking for funded PHd in UK, you need to sort out PhD positions. UK Universities moslty post the PhD positions on their websites and on ww.jobs.ac.uk with research proposal and funding criteria and they give you deadline to submit applications and after that they short list for interview. I advise you that before applying to any phd position carefully look into funding criteria. sometime they dont offer funding to non-EU students. When you find any suitable PhD vacancy than look into research profile of professor and go through to his recent publications. then apply for position and try to be in contact with professor.

If you are desperately looking for PhD i advise you that dont just apply in UK. Apply in other countries as well. If i tell you about my case, it took me 1.5 years to get funded phD postion. It needs continuous effort, you never know , where and when your bread and butter is written.

I hope you will get the idea, If you need more inofrmation , you can ask. So, start searching, applying and Praying.. Inshallah You will be successful. :)
