Salam All,

Alhamdulillah, my wife got the visa. She received the text message The processed visa application for GWF reference number xxxxxx- was received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 5/7/2018, yesterday. She also received a phone call from vfs shortly after and later on in the day received an email from vfs confirming the same thing.

My wife collected the passport today and the visa is valid from 10/05/19 - 09/06/19. All in all it was about 36 working days for the decision to be made from the date of biometrics.
