A lot of good news floating about...lets hope it continues..

Looks like people who applied at ISL are getting a decision a lot quicker than people who applied at other places...looks like it's 4-5 weeks for most people.

Finally December folk are getting some results...the way things are going think my wife's should be sometime next week.

Good luck to people going to collect their passports...

My wife has just submitted her visa application form, in which was asked the date I received my British passport (I was not born in this country but have always had a British Passport) well we got that date wrong by about 4 months.
