No notification that decision had been made or passport was ready for collection. Only received a phone call notifying me that my passport can be collected from the visa centre after I made an another enquiry using the paid email service.
Also, they put the start wrong date on my wife's visa (T2 Dependant), so will need to apply again for a vignette transfer to correct it.
