Query: 15 working days calculation for visa approval

Post by prax123 » Fri Jun 22, 2018 11:03 am

I am confused with the start day for the 15 working days period for Tier 2 standard visa approval. Which one of the following is correct to be considered as the starting day?
a. The online application day
b. The biometric appointment day
c. Day on which the application received email from UKVI

Any info on this would be helpful.

What 15 working days? Decision is normally made within 8 weeks as per Home Office advises. I submitted mine on the 5th May and received the outcome on 20th June

Same doubt.
But in my case I have not even received email from UKVI five days past biometrics.

Ok, I missed to add the point about the location of application. For Bangalore, India, the UK Gov website mentions 15 working days as the guidance for visa approval.

I received the mail on 6th working day. So, maybe you will receive in next few days.

Not to scare you, but to prepare you for every possibility. I have been waiting for 4 completed weeks( 20 working days) after biometrics. Patience is a true virtue when dealing with UKVI

Anyone, who applied from India and got the visa, share their views on my question?
