We escalated our case to travel to the states for compassionate reasons, so I’m not sure how useful our timeline is!

It was a cumbersome process to escalate and we called in favors from anyone we could, but we got the decision just in time to travel when we hoped.

IDV is useless and letting HO give excuse for piling up more backlog and to clear the applicants at the centre first.

Thank you for those who contributed to this forum and giving advice to visit UKVCAS. Decision comes quickly once you visit their office. Highly recommend anyone waiting for decision to go to UKVCAS.
