Out-of-country skilled worker visa application timelines

Post by geriatrix » Thu Jul 22, 2010 12:29 pm

Please do not post in this thread if you have made an application from within the UK.

Interested members can post their application processing timelines here for the benefit of others. This will help members to view the timelines at one place rather than posting the same rhetorical questions time and again (e.g.- Can some please tell me processing times for ABC country or city / when will my application be decided / how long do I need to wait etc. etc.) and will help reduce clutter on the database too, so you will be doing a good cause.

Please do not forget to include the following details in your post:
1. Category applying under (General / ICT / other)
2. Country of application
3. City of Visa Application Centre
4. Date of application
5. Date of submission of documents (if different from 3 above).
6. Date Entry Clearance valid from
7. Duration for Entry Clearance
8. Date passport received

Tip: Ideally timelines should be posted only after a decision is received but if writing initial post before a decision / passport is received (i.e.- giving details of points 1 to 5 only), please make an effort to edit the original post when coming back to provide update (providing inputs to points 6 to 8 ). This will help members looking for approx. timeslines to figure out end-to-end processing time of a given application(s) at one place itself.

Also, please refrain from chattering in this topic. To keep it high-value, please just read it and only post when you have something of substance to contribute (timelines only). All off-topic posts and posts enquiring about current timelines will be deleted without notice.


We thank you for your understanding.
