Got a reply from BHC saying a decision has been made on my application and my passport will be despatched in 2-3 working days.
Im really worried. Does this mean i've got it or is my visa rejected.

They did mention that if secondary checks are done by BHC then application may take up to 15 working days.
18 working days over.... no update on website except the usual message:
'Your application has been forwarded to British High Commission'
Tried to contact BHC Delhi via mail but got the following mail reply after 4 days:

Dear Sir ,
Thank You for your email .
I would also like to take this opportunity to apologies for the delay in assessing this matter however as you would appreciate we are required to carry out all of the necessary queries before making a decision.
So please bear with us and we will put our efforts to speed-up the matter.
I am sorry I cannot give you a more welcome response.
Regards,

Is there any other way to find out the progress of the application. I called many times to BHC, and everytime I get different responce. Listing a few as follows:
1. Your application is in progress and its under verification by an officer. We can not give any other information due to security reasons.
2. Your application may be pending in a Queue. We have backlog of application pending from Nov 2008 so your application might take 3 months or more. We can not give any other information as we do not have any further update in our system.
3. Your application is with an officer and you may get a reply in 10 more working days.
4. We can not provide any information other than what is displayed on the system which says that we have received your application on 8th Jan 09. Please enquire only once in a week.
This is very disappointing because they have been providing different answers every time we called and there is no clarity on the progress on the application.
Can anyone help me in this matter??
