I finally got the entry clearance visa.

Thanks for all your help

Does anyone know whether there is a set maximum EC visa processing time for an out of country visa EC application?

Thanks Kayalami, you have been very helpful The reason I decided to go for the ILR is because that was what the lawyer advised me to do after I had advised him of my situation.

Need some more advice guys.... I spoke to my lawyer today and advised me to ask the company that I work for to apply for a work permit on my behalf.
