Hi Njb1989.njb1989 wrote:Hey guys, been watching this forum for many months, time for me to post.
My friend applied October 19
Received Oct 22nd
Bio early November
200k route
Same as you guys, after expecting to be able to see her family after one month, she has waited over 6, meaning she has missed important family events, including spring festival ( aka Chinese Christmas) important weddings, and she has still not met her baby niece.
She has been tempted to withdraw application many times, but every time she thinks, maybe the Visa will come next week.
Now we are seeing people on here who are waiting upwards of 9 months… potentially she could be waiting for another 3 months...maybe longer.
Anyway, she is now considering withdrawing application, moving back to china and reapplying form there for these reasons:
1. Can live with family while she waits
2. She can get a job and earn experience/money while she waits
3. Quicker decision – people who apply in 2013 often get a decision within a month. We have no idea how long the backlog could go on for.
As she applied 200k route and submitted no bushiness plan or materials (it was not necessary before jan 31st to submit) we think this could make the case take even longer..
Do you guys think withdrawing is a good idea? Or she should stick it out?

Her account abroad I believe ...
Hi Njb1989.
If 200k funds are in her UK bank account, Probably decision should be quicker. Could you please let us know location of funds whether it is in UK third party's bank account / in her UK Bank own account / abroad third party bank account / abroad in her own bank account ?

Based on location of funds processing time varies.
Wow... so how many people have you seen waiting 9 months are more? I've seen only two waiting this long.la wrote:Ok Njb1989. Then there is no surprise in taking more time - it might take time from 7 months to 9 months and even more in rare cases based on applicants (whose funds are located abroad) processing time here in this forum.
It is better to wait till they come back with decision else all our efforts will be wasted.
Did her abroad bank got any verification call so far?
Even I am also in similar boat
