Hi, thanks for the message. I live in Cambridge at the moment. Usually, it takes another working day or two for mails to reach those applicants that are living outside of London. Just have to be patient, as most of the UKBA mails are 2nd class mails which could take 1 week to get to you (except when they send your passport/BPR).utnapishti wrote:Congratulations! Just wondering if you are based in London or somewhere else? I live in Liverpool and it looks like it's taking longer than the applications from London.

It depends on the officer handling your case and nationality to some certain extent as well. Some lucky chaps got their passport and visa within 5 weeks while some of my friends from China got it only after 5 months of processing time. Good luck bro.
