Dear..... ,

Thank you for contacting the UK Visas and Immigration International Enquiry
Service.

We understand that you would like to know about the current status of your
visa application. I have tracked the status (GWF...........and date of birth
) and found that your application is currently in progress. You
will be contacted once a decision has been made or, if necessary, during
the consideration of your application.

Though we try our best to complete the visa application process in 15
working days, each application is subject to an individual assessment and
processing times may vary, hence applicants are requested to be patient and
wait for the processing to be completed. You can check how long you’ll
have to wait for a decision on your visa application in your country (if
you applied from outside the UK) by entering your details at the following
link: https://www.gov.uk/visa-processing-times. Please note that the actual
processing times may vary depending on a range of factors.

We have service level standards for processing UK visa applications. We
will process 90% of non-settlement applications within 3 weeks, 98% within
6 weeks and 100% within 12 weeks of the application (biometric taken) date;
and 95% of settlement applications within 12 weeks of the biometric taken
date and 100% within 24 weeks of the application (biometric taken) date.
Please note that we define 1 week as 5 working days.

[rafari]

As I have got 33-month visa, do I have 3 months time to travel?
If 33-month visa was stamped on 26th June, what is the last possible date for me to travel?

Secondly, my TB test report has expired, do I need to get a new one?

NO you don't need a new tb test you just need to bring expired tb certificate with you to UK.

Yes 33 month stamp means 3 months to enter

Visa submitted after March were given information about which post office to collect their cards from
I do recommend that you contact them to find out if you need the card, because according to my research these cards are very important, for getting jobs etc.
I hope that this link will help highlight the importance of it.. But as I said, it's for Visas submitted after March 2015

OP comes under old rules so they don't require a card as they submitted before the rules came in effect

To be quiet honest I was very confused about this myself
Because when I submitted my application online on the 3rd of April (after my friend who submitted it on the 27th March) I received information about where to collect my BRP, if I get my Visa .. Where as my friend wasn't give an address or any kind of information . Then I asked a few people and did my research and found out that this was for spouse visas submitted after March .. And that if I don't collect this within a certain time period there will be possibilities of being deported back... I'll try my best to find a few links to explain this better
I'm not intending to worry anyone, these are just for those who have applied online after March
