i dont know what formula they are using, it does look like Random selection anymore they seem to have forgotten about June-November 2004' applicants

its true, i have read on HO website that there target is to process 90% applications on same day as they recieve them if no further investigation is required and provided evidence is enough.

I think some cases are approved in initail screening and doubtful ones or incomplete ones enter 8 months queue.

Congratulations Sheeda, you are one of those who beat my record approval time (i got approval in 26 total days in Nov last year from Pakistan)

I paid only 150 pounds since I applied for my work permit only. I will have to pay some visa fees for my wife at the local embassy here in Saudi for her VISA but I beleive she will not be able to work in UK.
