So i called UKVI today for an update and the lady has said a decision was made on the 4th January, i haven't had an email just yet and my wife in Pakistan hasn't had a call either.
I asked if she could tell me what the decision was and she said she shouldn't really but that it was "good news", i really hope she was telling the truth

What i wanted to ask was if anyone had a similar experience and how long it may take for the VAC to call my wife?
Thanks in advance!
