Getting annoyed - been almost 10 weeks, Biometrics were over 6 weeks ago. I sent a letter and had my office send a letter on Friday so I wonder if that will speed things up at all. I need to travel for work so can't really be without my passsport for much longer... (though obviously can't be without a visa either)

Wonder if it's because I was switching from PSW?

rachelsaver- both of us are in the same boat... i'm waiting for visa as well- been 10+ weeks since application submission.
