What’s the quickest turnover time for visas people are experiencing in from London with the new rules?
Answer summary
The turnover time for visa applications from London under the new rules is currently variable. Users have reported experiences ranging from immediate approval within a couple of days to longer waits of 20 to 30 days due to the requirement for a police certificate. The new rules were implemented on August 31, and many applicants may be starting to apply around mid-September. Personal experiences vary greatly, with some applicants waiting for required documents before submitting their applications.

I think if there is an influx of criminals records certificates all at same time then I wonder if they’re will be more dtv applications in a short time, I’m not sure I think I’m overthinking

It was never quick. True that some people got it approved within a couple or days or so, but that was kinda of the exception, not the rule.

I do not think you can tell yet as police certificate takes between 20 to 30 days to arrive and as new rules came into place only form the 31st I believe people will start applying with new rules around mid/ end September unless someone had already a certificate
