You don't need a timeline thread for this. A look at UKBA's website tells you the processing times in October for Ghana.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... ing-times/

Only 2% of settlement applications were resolved within 15 working days and 64% within 40 working days. Yours has only been in process for 9.

Patience!

If it goes beyond 60 working days - start to query it.

Hi, am new to this forum. I believe the experiences on this forum will help ease the level of anxiety and stress that am going through with this wait.
My husband's timeline is as follows:
Application submitted at Vfs Accra: 09/01/14
Forwarded to BHC accra:09/01/14.

Still anxiously waiting.......no update
Shish20 am just behind u. once u've heard from BHC it will give me hope. Someone told me this is not peak period so we might hear from them sooner. How true is this.

Hey Tal13, big congrats, that sounds incredibly fast. I know they get back within 60 days but its been 7 weeks for you, that's really great :)

Perhaps they are not so busy right now? me and the wife submitted on the 15/01/14, so hoping for the good news soon! :wink:

Good luck with everything!

Hi Cya123,

We've heard back from the Embassy today, so were going to find our result on Monday, we all have to go through this horrible wait.

And now we have to put up with a weekend knowing a decisions been made but we can't check it!

I'm pretty sure you'll hear something this month, so try not stress out too much, they seem to be not so busy going off January timings...

Hi Cya,

Oh I have great news, the VISA has been granted.

I was thinking they may deny it on so many reasons, because you always worry about the one little thing you've missed! But all is well, please keep us updated and I will keep my fingers crossed for you!

Now time to start planning the big round trip!

Phil
