OH right. Sorry I though you as Husban

Apologies.

Currently they are taking extra time on purpose. Seriously UKBA is pain in the butt. But I think you'll get the visa or ask for you withdrawal or cancel your tirp.

Cant tell how long will it take as I mentioned earlier they are taking lot of time because of staff shortage.

It can take upto 20 working days for return of document.

NO. You cannot go into Home Office. (Why would you go btw ? )

Why can't you just cancel the visit ? Or its extremely important ?
