By looking at the most recent timelines I have noticed that the people that had been contacted UKVI was within a week of receiving the email “your application has been received at the UK decision making centre”.

So once you receive that email and do not get a call within a week or lets say 10 days you most likely will not get a call because they are satisfied with your employment.

If you had your bio-metric 7th May then it has not been 30 working days yet.

Hi everyone try emailing VFS global, visa applications and feeses handled by them. Even though they don't have any influences regarding decisions or processing times. If more than usual times is taking or not heard anything from HO. They also can contact home office directly and escalate it as you have made the applications through them. I have seen on their twitter page they promoting Priority services and few customers are not happy and they suggesting to email them directly with details and they will have a look at it and escalate the case. Good thing is emailing them is free. here is their email address> communications@vfsglobal.com.

When they say finally stage do you know after how many days they give the decision?

I was see many people in this form when they receive their final stage email they get a decision after 5 days

I hope they make you happy very soon
