Hi guys, my friend has ILR and applied for BC 2 weeks ago, the money is taken and today he received letter from HO confirming they received it and saying you can get your documents if you want, feel some form.
How long would take to get decision. Thanks

The official information is that 95% of the applications are decided within 6 months. Occasionally, a few take longer than that (see here for example), but the majority is decided within less than 3 months. If you check the main thread you find a lot of examples and concrete information.

2 weeks?? That is absolutely amazing. Do you recall by any chance in which club that was?
