Hi everyone,

I have got a question about UK London approval timelines to help me know when to book my flight to Thailand.

I submitted my application on Tuesday 6th October. On Sunday 11th October (yesterday), I received a request for further information.

I should be able to fulfil the request for further information by end of today.

What has been everyone else's experience with waiting times when applying through London?

Thanks
