 yes but some of these groups seem to attract other long term visa applications. So you all waiting for DTV approval in London, so has anyone been approved and what was the shortest time to longest, just trying to gauge the timing so I can decide if London is the best option

 thanks for sharing. I’ve talked to them too. They told me it might take longer and get approved next month bcuz my flight schedule is in June. hell no another a month with this anxiety but seems there's nothing I can do but waiting. I am not sure if you’re the same case with me. will update you once I got the visa. Let’s fingers crossed
