Thanks, this is reassuring. I was up all night in panic mode. Have you recieved your decision yet? What was your time line like?Edwardo wrote: ↑Tue Nov 13, 2018 12:50 pmI do not think there is any need to worry. In fact, you have done far better than we did with the update service - we did not even get a text to say a decision was made!
You probably feel as I did, that as they say 60 working days is the target this means you should have the visa by now.
Well the 'good' news is the HO will be in touch by day 60, either with great news or - and you'd best prepare for this - an email saying your case is 'not straightforward'.
If you get this not straightforward email then do not panic, it is sent whenever they cannot meet the 60 days and they do not explain what the issue is.
We got one.
So hang in there, you will be contacted soon one way or the other.

I know how you feel, it is a very tough process.
We got the 'not straightforward' email on day 59, the visa officially on day 120. A full and complete 6 months from the application date.
As said, with us it just turned up, no message no anything! I wanted to complain as I find it very dubious (the day they headed the decision letter was just inside their final target day of 120) but my wife, perhaps understandably, is worried they will hold it against us later.
But try not to worry, if you have sent the correct papers and meet the money demands, you will be fine.
You can check how well the Home Office have been doing with actual and real applications from your country on the gov.uk site. For example, we found out most applications were being decided in 90-120 days for my wife's country...nowhere near the 60 days.
Take a look - gov.uk and then visa processing times.
