These are not waiting times, even though the header makes you believe so.

If you read carefully you'll note that the information given only tells the reader that applications submitted on/before a given date are being considered (i.e.- perhaps assigned a caseworker and are under process). This is, in no way, a reflection of the time it may take a caseworker to decide on an application. e.g. - an application submitted in Jan'10 may still be undecided while another submitted on 15-Oct may have already been approved.

UKBA does not give out processing times for in-country applications. And will not entertain any calls for status updates before 14 weeks.

Thanks Sushdmehta.

So unfortunately, there is no way at all of finding out about which date they have reached while processing dependent applications.

Somehow in the last month or so, this timeline tallied quite well with the forum members getting their dependent visas, so I had kind of started relying on the date mentioned on this link.
