PS It's been more than three months no communication since which is a relatively straightforward application. Saw some people getting results within two months but there is no guarantee- so if you have to go abroad within six months prepare to pay extra £1000 for super priority. Best of luck.

Finally approved- took about 3 months and 11 days! I just think it's absurd people are forced to pay £1000 on top of already hefty application fee to get quicker results! there is no middle ground!
