Not sure if this post will be removed by the admin but please share your latest timelines guys... It will be extremely helpful.chan1088 wrote:1.

Received an email from the Sheffield Visa Section on 16 June 2017 saying that my application had not been straight forward and hence they couldn't meet the targeted timeline of 10-15 working days. They would try to make a decision asap.
In week 6, I emailed the Home Office for status update. And they said my application 'is being considered and awaiting approval.'
It's week 7 now, no update from the Home Office though I followed up.
I heard that the recent changes in the application process and a new system implementation are likely to be the reasons for the recent delay which is experienced by many applications from other countries as well.
Guys, please kindly share your timeline too. It will be extremely helpful to us! Thanks a lot!
