Priority Spouse Visa FALL Timeline (Oct-Dec)

Does anyone happen to know just out of curiosity, how many cases an agent gets assigned at one time ? Or is it one case per agent until a final decision is made ?

I believe it's one at a time.  It certainly is if you do a same-day appointment and I would think these are done the same.

I'd have to think they have some sort of workflow management system where they are assigned work, preferably in chronological order from date of receipt but we all know that's not how it happens I basically write pipelines for ops people at my current job to keep things balanced so maybe I should apply to UKVI in a few years to see if they need some programming help

I’ve always thought of it as being like how the US Embassy works, where each ECO is given a pile of applications and they work through them in order.... which would help to explain why some applications take longer than others, because they may each work through their assigned pile at a different pace.

I had a job with a state agency in the US that did a similarly-functioning job...  our workflow was exactly as ksand24 described: each officer was assigned an equal number of cases, randomly selected, and we were responsible for those cases from initial receipt to final disposition.  We had a statutory 90-day turnaround, unless the parties waived the limit (which they were willing to do if they wanted to submit additional evidence not already in the file by the time the officer was deciding the case), but there was no penalty if we failed to meet the 90 day deadline.  Some officers were more efficient than others.  And some cases were more difficult than others.  It was easy to get behind.  And it was really easy to back-burner a case once you had an agreed 90-day waiver.

but there was no penalty if we failed to meet the 90 day deadline.

It was easy to get behind.

Hmm, wonder if there's a correlation there somewhere?
