I know people do ask about the processing speeds for some of these visas, so I thought I would just pop a note on mine. I am absoluely shocked how fast mine was processed! This was for my second 2.5 year period FLR M (first extension).
I filed my application on the 10th of March, had my Biometrics appointment this last Monday the 21st of March. I was fully expecting weeks for any kind of response, but was shocked to just find in my inbox that my application has been approved!!
3 days from biometrics has to be some kind of record, huh!?
I did not pay for any kind of fast processing service. Just the plain old standard service £1052.20 GBP fee.
Hopefully everyone has as quick a turnaround as this!
