VAF: Visa Application Form, it is usually generated internally but doesn't mean anything in terms wether application is granted or not.
My opinions should not be constituted as an immigration or legal advice.

I had A phone call from Home Office it toke around 15-20 minutes around this time the phone disconnect 2-3 times. Only one question worry me when she say how long it takes to get to work I said 10-15 mins but I think she only heard 10 minutes and the phone disconnected or I could not hear her but I can get to work around 10-11 mins
Well this effect my application.
They also told me they well call the company I work for
Does anyone know after this call how long it takes to get the visa or decision.

It's hard to say since the phone got disconnected twice. Just wait for the outcome and alert your employer that, they will be receiving a phone call from the UKVI.

I’m the only one works there manager and the Company in business since 2014 do you think this well effect the decision.
Also because I was nervous she say what you get married I said October 2019 I don’t know I was nervous I said November 2019 but I’m sure 100 percent I said October 2019.
She also ask me if I’m on furlough I said yes due to the lock down yes and the company pays the 20 percent I’m getting 100 percent of the wage she was saying that’s a lot how they can afford it to pay the other 20 does she has other companies I said I don’t know you can check the Company house it could have 1-2 but I don’t know.

Just asking about your job what you do where you work
They just want to make sure you are genuine.

There is no conventional guarantee of receiving decision made email.
Wait to be contacted for collection of your passport.
