Someone in the Jan pool who had their fees debited on 30/01/14 got their approval today. If that's any indicator, we should see fen approvals rolling in next week. Fees for most feb applicants was debited within days of application.

Yeah let us see..Home office has managed Jan applicants quite well ...However, keep in mind that we should not panic as it is still early days and we should only start chasing them Mid April.

Judging the progress in January forum, average approval wait time is between 45-55 days from day of application. Also it seems that last week January applications are being processed therefore, we may expect to see approvals rolling in for first week Feb applicants from next week or so..

[ssingh6]

As very applications for feb 2014,hopefully HO will process them quicker...

[karaj]

Home office receives an average of 4000 applications every week.. So very few people posting their timeline here..

[ssingh6]

I think after the rush of oct 2013 applications,HO has less applications...As Jan 2014 applicants already receiving approvals..
