papaluna,

tintin wrote:looks like they have stopped taking phone calls for status enquiry. My wife applied on 6th July and still hasnt got her approval. She has been trying to ring since the past 2-3 days but there is a recorded message that says that if your application is less than 6 months old, then we cannot give any updates. The call then disconnects on its own.

Any suggestions!

thx, anyone else applied in April/May/June and still hasn't got his letter ? this would help us know if those months have been cleared. I applied in mid-July and I know for sure (after calling HO) that I won't hear their decision before mid-October. so it looks like the majority of applications are taking 3-4 months to be approved, even though a few people got their letters well before that horizon.

the average is around 3-4 months with the exception of few unfortunate ppl who waiting for more than 5 months and some lucky once receiving approval in less than 2 months... overall avg still seems to be 3-4 months...

Waiting for my wife's from Aug; not expecting to hear anything till next month...
