What is the normal processing time for a Non-O visa application in London?
I applied for my non O visa via London, a couple of weeks ago, yesterday I got a reply saying further documents check needed then the status would go to documents checking. I’ve put them in, but it’s still saying processing. Is this the normal procedure. TIA

Alan Bow initially applied on 17th September, after 2 weeks they wanted more bank statements. Never managed to get a phone call answered and got a reply to e mail saying currently a 15 working day processing time but that's passed now too.

OPJen Broadhurst I downloaded a photo but the didn’t accept it. I don’t know why because I got it done at max spielmans the day before & it was emailed to me & they didn’t accept my BBK statements

Alan Bow they didn't accept our Max Spielman photos either even though they were taken in a specific format for the Thai Visa application. They did them twice for us and they were rejected twice. They eventually accepted selfies 😂😂. Ours was processing for 2 weeks after submitting the final photos. Took almost 4 weeks in all...

OPJen Broadhurst the manager from max spielman said the Thai visa wanted a slightly different format. But they accepted my METV photo last year. I only hope this new one goes thru

Interesting, we are just about to submit ours and have added our max spielman photos
