Anywhere between 8 weeks and 6 months, sometimes longer, for approval. Then there are currentky delays for ceremony.

Read the ukcvas centre advice! It is not an interview. It is only biomterics and identuy check.

Ukcvas is a third party agency only for the purpose of biomterics and identity check. It is not home UKVI staff at ukcvas centres. No documents are retained.
