Tier 2 visa waiting times

Post by Amarine » Tue Oct 05, 2010 5:26 am

After reading through some questions and answers here it seems that Tier 2 visa applications can take quite a long time: 3-6 months. Is this correct??

I'm wondering:
1. Which employer would actually wait that long for someone to start work? Wouldn't it be easier to try to find someone local to do the job? I just wonder whether it's worth it to even go down this route.

2. Why does the Home Office's webpage for visa processing times have most visas processed within 15 working days? I randomly selected a few different countries and all have 100% of applications processed within 30 working days. Why is there a huge discrepancy between what is on their webpage and what I think is being reported here??
