As per his statement it was an interview not just verification call
Also Timeline depends on weekends of two counties (my mother filed the application on wed. in Karachi , it might reached to BHC Isl on Thursday, I assume they sent the case to **UAE** after some paper work On Friday , UAE have weekends on Friday and Saturday, so parcel delivered on Monday and process started in next day job lot Tue/Wed then I got call from HO on Friday which . Feedback from HO UK received back to the UAE on Thursday (again i assume they communicate in bulk not individually for standard service) , again next two days were off. so they took the decision Week start and emailed received)
In my opinion my case took 2 days extra , I received phone call from HO 2 days late) and that could be due to Ramadhan (office timings specially in Arab countries are very short)
