Urgent Please-How Long does a Tier1 General Application take

[mistytom]

Hello all;
please can anyone advise on how long a Tier 1 (General )Application takes?
I applied about 5 weeks ago and we are still expecting (though it is for initial application). I am switchin from Tier1 PSW to Tier1 General
but the disturbing thing is this… my friends application took just about 12days – submitted on the 10th of May : visa granted/received on the 22nd of May. (though it was for extension)
I am getting troubled as I applied a week before him and this is the 5th week of my application. sent exactly 5weeks ago to the Home office. My current leave (PSW) expired last week
moreso another friend applied for his wife and daughter (dependant) and this application took about 18 days.
please has anyone got a clue on what might be happening?
cheers
Tom

My friend just relax and wait for the good results and do not try to compare your result with any one else as all the cases are not same .

Good luck!

Thank you for that!!!

I am not comparing just troubled as it is taking quite long.
I shouldn't have been worried just that I feel tier1 General Applications takes about 4 weeks - but this is more that 5 weeks

search this forum dear ,, instances say that it has stretched upto 2 years in a case ... also with new timelines
it says
98% applications get cleared in like 90 days if i m nt wrong ,,
in any case 5 week is not too much
i kno how it feels

Good news travels slow
