I believe it still gonna take as long decisions may be made within 41 days but applicants will not get passport until the 60 day mark may be possible with Olympic rush out of the way there is a saying set the expectations high and under deliver which is wot I believe maybe happening at bhc, they have set expectation of 24 weeks and delivering within or just after 12 weeks. I personally feel need to see more 41 day cases before I believe the statement of 41 days.

What i found quite odd is how the passports have visas issued around 5 weeks before being called for collection.

Why not just call the applicants when visa has been granted.

Quite a few of the January apps had visa granted on i think it was 13th of March and were called from collection last week.

Henna,

Provided your husband has all his docs with him, isn't carrying anything he shouldn't be, you will have no issues.

Tell him to make sure he has his TB test results with him as that is most frequently ask for.

@henna786,

I recommend you to ask your hubby to make all relevant documents handy along with TB Certificate.
After taking Advice; remember Everyone's application, and thus supporting documents, will be different depending on personal circumstances.

Hi All...

I would love to believe that the youtube video of Mr thompson British high commisoner saying that the average turnaround for settlement is around 41 days, its hard to understand because people are still waiting from January and Feb?

has Anyone had Verification calls yet to confirm Employment and a personal Call to clear some points like an Interview with ECO?

just like to hear if anyone has already that had applied roughly or before me?

InshAllah everyone will be reunited with there loved ones :)
