Processing times - FLR

Hiya folks,

Living on the last bit of nerves before I apply for my FLR(m) this Saturday (eek)!

I was wondering if anyone knew an approximate amount of days / timescale UKVI are taking to process FLR visa applications given the current circumstances with covid.

Does anyone have any insight or experiences to share?

Thanks!

Lately, it seems to have been taking anywhere from 2-6 months for FLR(M) applications.

We had a few approvals in December for people who applied/gave biometrics in August/September.

Phew, that’s a long time! Hopefully I won’t be in the 6-month group....

It’s hard to know how long it will take as there seems to be a lot of variation at the moment.

We had some people that applied around September (submitting biometrics in person) who got their visas a few weeks later, others who applied in July/August/September (submitting biometrics using the IDV app - which is no longer available) who got their visas in December, but there are also a couple of people who applied in a April/May last year who are still waiting for their visas.
