I am not pointing out or picking up anyone here but these 1 week/2 weeks approvals seem unreal to me when there r people waiting for ages. Rules are/should be same for everyone, If HO is doing extra scrutiny (coz of that famous report on 11 Dec) for one then it should be done for all. OR does anybody have any idea that what is the logic or reason behind not doing it for everyone???

Not sure what's the theory behind their decision making but they haven't contacted any of the referees during the process.

2 weeks approval. Belive me here are some trolls. Not possible in 2 weeks. So dont pay attention to these 2 weeks.
Average wait is 2 to 3 months. Confirmed with ukvi contact centres.

I don't like anyone calling me a troll specially not in a matter like this.

I will post an image of the acknowledgement letter tonight since I don't have it in the office

Please stop calling other trolls!

Every case has a different history. There are holidays, breaks in visas, character checks, taxes. These checks change depending on each individual. Then there are cases where you are exercising EU rights, Spouse of British/EU Citizen, or other relationships. Those require extra checks to make sure you AND your relative are legally staying in the UK.

Lastly, just because 'you' think your case is 'straight-forward' doesn't mean that's how HO sees it.

Jesus you are a piece of work aren't you. My lawyer's told me that he's been receiving many approvals within 3 weeks lately. And again, you don't need to believe anyone here. If people getting their approval early bothers you, you can stop reading the forums.
