These timelines have all changed and as each case is individual you really can't base your application against others.
Current timelines are quicker because of the new system but it is coming up to peak period.
Please don't assume because someone on this board applied at the same time your visa would be issued in the same length of time. It's really not the way and you should just plan not to do anything until you get your visa.
There's different people involved in each case so you can't compare the workloads between caseworkers.

Dear Poonam,
I also submitted my visa application on 11/11/2013 at vfs Delhi and today is 14th working day but it is showing that visa application has been forwarded to bhc same as in your case.I think that they are delaying tier 4 category visa at present.

Hi,
Before my student visa expires, I have applied Tier-1 (Post-Study-Work) on the basis of ACCA qualification on 2nd April 2012 but unfortunately my Visa application was refused on 21st September 2012 and I took this case in court and right now my case is in Court of Appeal and after Syed Case there is no hope so I was wondering, can I switch now to any other category, like student, within 28 days after receiving my court decision?"
I came in UK on 9th September 2010
I would really appreciate any expert advice on this
Kind regards
