It's been pretty quiet since mid-December. I feel like we've only seen a small number of decisions come through since then.

I know it was the holidays but I feel like there should deff be more coming through this time of year with the results from her previous years  .. wondering if this is a bad thing or not

They’ll all come at once, they usually do! Someone here termed it a ‘flurry’.  :)

Congratulations roamingbee! Sure it should be an approval.

I am on the 38th business day of wait (applied from France), and every day I get more and more upset. What frustrates me most is the inability to plan anything...

Today I made another enquiry at UKVI website for the status of my application (never received a response for the previous two). I know that it is probably another waste of money, but I just need to do something about that...

I had a little bit of time last evening and made a chart about last applications on the forum.
