Super quick processing (less than a month end to end) but doesn't look unusual given the comparable timelines on this thread. Brexit effect perhaps?

This website has been a boon. Was planning on getting it done by immigration solicitor who quoted £400. Reading from peoples experiences decided to do it by myself and it was pretty straight forward.

Would advise website owners to put a Donate button so that people wishing, can make a contribution for the time that moderators are spending replying to posts.

I have been a Company Director for 3.5 years, not sure if that will earn me any brownie points.
