Processing time confusion..

[khalad]

Evening,

Right i have got a little bit of confusion if anyone can shed some light on it please.

When looking at the gov.uk processing times for family visit visa's i get the following info;

Family Visit (6 months or less)
Most applications are processed within 15 days.
Number of days to process application 5 days 10 days 15 days 30 days 60 days
% of applications decided 2% 83% 99% 99% 100%
Note: actual processing times may vary depending on a range of factors.

I a bit confused the the "working" days. I know working days in the UK is Monday-Friday.

Now my uncle submitted his family visit visa application in Bangladesh Sylhet on the 28th September 2014 (Sunday).

On the website VFS for bangladesh

Address
VFS Bangladesh Pvt. Ltd.
UK Visa Application Centre
7th Floor, Nirvana Inn, Mirza Jungle Road,
Ramerdhigir par, Sylhet-3100, Bangladesh:

Opening hours: 08:30 - 16:30, Sunday to Thursday

Now here is the confusion. Now that the it stated the following;

VISA APPLICATIONS IN BANGLADESH –
As previously advised, all PBS, PBS dependants, and Settlement visa applications made in Bangladesh are
now being processed outside of Bangladesh. As from Sunday 14 September all other categories
submitted on or after this date will also be processed outside of Bangladesh.

on the VFS website.

I assume the Working days in New Delhi differ from Bangladesh. So my question is in regards to processing times which working days i am going by as a guide? :/

His intended travel date is the 19th October 2014.

If anyone can give me a rough date we should hear by would be great.

Please also take this message into consideration:

The British High Commission in Dhaka, Bangladesh will
be closed on 2 October and 6-7 October for public
holidays. UKVI’s visa section in Dhaka will also be
closed on these days as will both Visa Application
Centres in Dhaka and Sylhet.
The New Delhi Visa Section where all UK visa
applications lodged in Bangladesh are processed will
also be closed on 2, 3 and 6 October 2014 for public
holidays.
Customers requiring a visa for the UK are requested to
apply as early as possible and take these dates into
account when making travel plans to the UK.

New Delhi operates Monday to Friday (http://www.vfsglobal.co.uk/India/applic ... tre.html#1) - so there were 4 working days last week ... and 3 next week.

The problem you have is that the numbers for processing times are from a month or two ago - that's how those stats work. Since the processing location was changed mid-September, the numbers won't be right any more.

So it's impossible to say when it might come.

But having just read a rather damning assessment of the Dhaka visa section from 2013 - I think you should be glad it's being handled in ND.
