Application Delay (Graduate to Skilled Worker)

[xnwo]

Hi,

It has been roughly 15 weeks since my biometrics appointment and I have yet to receive a decision on my application. I received an email from UKVI around the 5 week mark informing me that my application would take a little longer as there was an issue with my sponsor's IHS payment, which my employer resolved the day after. This is now more than 9 weeks ago and I have heard nothing since - I was wondering if anyone else had a similar experience and if this is a normal timescale?

I'm getting a little anxious given the time that has elapsed and I'm thinking of forfeiting if I don't hear anything in the coming weeks.

Hi,
I think many people facing similar issues nowadays.
It's been more than 28 weeks since I have done my biometrics. In my case, I have some immigration history which home office needed to do more checks before making the decision. A few of my friends also facing delays but they don't have any issues like me but still waiting for a decision for more than 5 months now so don't be anxious. If UKVI require further clarifications they will contact you.
