We cannot tell you what your chances are going to be. Interview is very likely to happen. You need to prepare for it and demonstrate you are a genuine business person

Please start your own topic with your questions. This is not a general discussion topic. It is considered rude to tag your questions onto other members threads and it creates confusion.
Nationality makes no difference to the processing time.

This is what I get in reply after 15 days (15 days including weekends)
Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application remains under consideration.
We have previously communicated our customer service target for non-settlement applications as 15 working days. Unfortunately, we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service target. We apologise for any inconvenience that this might cause.
We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible over the coming days.
We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection.
Kind Regards,
UK Decision Making Centre

Ask all your questions here and do NOT start new threads on your application please.
Tier 1E visas are less likely to be issued in 20 days. You have now been several times advised on the fact that we cannot tell you about the time your application is going to take. It is highly likely that you will be interviewed soon and the process could take months

you should expect your application to be returned in the next 10 days (hopefully).
As per the UKVI :
https://visa-processingtimes.homeoffice ... pbs-tier-1
Number of days to process application 10 days 15 days 30 days
% of applications decided 73% 73% 100%
Also, please share the interview experience & Questions asked at the interview.
Best of LUCK

Went to Visa application Center in islamabad for interview.It was Skype call with female officer.
First she asked me Are you feeling fit & well?I will record and also type my questions & your answers so please speak slowly.
Then these are questions:
What business u will do in Uk?
Explain your previous experience?
Had you ever wrote business plan before if no then how did you wrote this one?
Why do you want to do business in Uk?
From where you get your funds?
In which bank do you have your funds?
Who wrote your business plan?
What is your business plan?
Anyone else seen your business plan?
How will you survive with your family,your business will be new?
Have you already look for premises for your business?
Who will be your competitors?
Why do you think that customer will come to you?
Your business in Pakistan is still running?
What products you will provide?
Do you want to add anything or want to say anything?
I hope my experience will help someone.And now I am waiting for my final result.

Where did you find a maximum time ? As far as I am aware there are no such limits
