Thanks for your wishes, hope you will get soon. Good luck.

Found this in the web thought it would be nice to share


(i) Envelope opened and fee taken to account. Contents of envelope place
in a pouch.
(ii) Application file is created. Database record created specific to
the application.
(iii) Security checks conducted - some of which are directly against the
information entered onto the database, others are with external
agencies.
(iv) Case goes into queue awaiting consideration by a caseworker. Queue
is in date-of-receipt order.
(v) Case is allocated to a caseworker for consideration. If everything
is in order the application is approved. If not, deficiencies are
rectified - e.g. by writing to applicant for further documents or by
clarifying immigration history from records or clarifying security
checks.
(vi) The system generates a certificate for the applicant which is
printed off and despatched.

The only difference between NCS applications and non NCS
applications is that, having been already checked to make sure all
documents have been submitted and mandatory requirements are met etc,the cases are usually ready to approve when the reach the caseworker without further enquiries being necessary.

In summary, cases are considered in date order. Once they reach a
caseworker, the time taken to consider the application depends on how
easy it is to determine that the requirements are met. If an applicant
has omitted information or documents or has a complicated immigration
history that requires closer scrutiny then the application will be
delayed for the period of time taken to complete enquiries
