Hi Specy,

Has your wife got any reply?

We are hoping to get result in 30 working days as the visa processing times on UKBA website shows that 78 percent application are dealt within 30 working days.

Also, How many emails do u generally get from home office? One on application and one after decision. Or we also get a email when file is opened.

Has any one got any reply in one months time?

Thanks Diversity and Mani! and Congrats Diversity!

Delhi is working on 60 days to be honest as per the gov.uk website. My wife applied on 25/08/14 and BHC got it a day after.
It has been over 30 days and my wife was told by VFS staff that she will hear in 28 days.
We have heard nothing. I hope to hear soon.
I am worried as I changed job on 1st sept and secured a civil service job but I met the conditions prior to joining this job and have provided them with 6 months of payslips.
I called before I applied and UKVI advised that it should be fine for me to apply. Since the submission of application, I have called them 3 times and all I am told is that it is under the process. I am getting really anxious now.

Hi Specy,

Do let us know when you get the visa. Do you have any contact number for UKBA office in Mumbai?

according to their visa processing time guide lines, they do 78 percent application in 30 working days. Hopefully, I will be one of them.

Has anyone received visa withtin a month here?

Hello All,

Good news afterall. My wife received her visa yesterday. In total waited for over 2 months.

Mani, I dont know about Mumbai as I applied from Delhi. I hope yours come through quickly. I will keep my fingers crossed.

They kept her previous biometric card wonder if this was normal.

Thank you all.
