Hi guys, it’s been 7 working days since I submitted my extra requested documents , I applied on the 1st December originally from London, I should imagine they are super busy but how long should it take to find out if I’ve been approved or not?

Wait 15 working days at least. But what do you mean by originally? London consulate requires you to remain in the UK until the process completes

Minimum 10 days, I emailed them and they politely told me to get back in my cage and wait for the 10 business days before I ask again.

Anonymous participant nobody knows, but i think they deal with the applications based on the flight date, which makes sense
