TLDR : Answer Summary
The time for a visa approval response after changing to pending approval can vary greatly. Responses can be received within as little as 24 hours, while some applicants have reported waiting over two months. Generally, most experiences suggest a timeframe of one week or within 48 hours for approval notifications.

How did you load multi bank statement pages on the online application ?

I'm a bit thick with computer technology.

Seems to replace the previous one if I do them individually,rather than add to the previous one.

Not going until mid July,so plenty of time.

I uploaded just the one page showing the balance.

I thought you had to show 3 months worth with a 10k balance ?

Mine is 90 day based on being over 50.

@Ken ******
same as what I applied for. I thought the same thing but am sure the three months is for those showing an income only. If you have a balance upload as recent as possible bank statements one page only. I applied on the 3rd May it got aproved on the 5th.

Is yours based on receiving the state pension?
Bim *******
@Ken ******
no. I just put the balance of 10 thousand.

@Bim ******
Oh I see.

Thanks.

Dunno what that 3 month bank statement thing means then.🤔

@Ken ******
I think it means if your showing income only (IE pension) then it's three months. If you have the 10 thousand then you just need to show the most recent balance you can.
