31st working day for me but still nothing...
Did you try to contact them?
Yeah twice. "Ahh yeah, we've noted it, and we'll escalate your application. Our team will contact you soon blah blah" Generic answer given to everyone else
Mine is only 23rd working day.
Well it depends. So you might get yours before ours.
I know quite a few who applied between 10th and 20th July that are still waiting, but I also heard a few who applied in late july already getting theres. So, it's just unpredictable and disorganised

Well we really don't know. It is really frustrating as there is no way to track the application or get the updates.
Have you tried the visa status tracker using the GWF number?
I just hope everyone here receive their decision soon.

No updates. I applied through VFS colombo (they say they are only a third party), but my passport is at Deputy High Commission Chennai, which I've tried emailing to without any success.

We're both on the exact same boat as I too applied on the 13th of July. There are loads of people who applied around that time who are still made to wait. I can understand the frustration learning that someone who applied after you getting their visa first. UKVI has messed this up pretty bad.

I guess people applying in India after 7th august are getting their decision faster. They are no longer scanning documents and sending it to Sheffield. I read the notice on VFS website.

They didnt even bother sending me an email to me after they escalated mine twice. So maybe it's a good thing. I don't even know anymore. I've lost hope.
