I have applied for tier 4 from hyderabad-India on July 19th (Standard application). My spouse had applied for dependent on July 20th. We had received email that our application was being prepared for consideration by ECO on 31st july and 2nd Aug respectively. Nothing since then. I have escalated my application through email but of no use. Today is 30th working day and my course starts on 11th September.

Called UKVI one last time and told them what I really thought of their visa process. The agent said she will re-escalate it and notify UKVI that it's urgent. However, Im sure I only ended up wasting more money.

Just saw that..says 90% within 3 weeks but there are very few people who get their decision within 3 weeks. at the moment 3 weeks apply to priority applications I guess. All standard have to wait for 3 months.
I have to wait 2 months more :cry:
