Mine took 14 days to come thru. I tried everything. The best solution was to practice completing the form to make sure I filled it correctly. Photo with white background and size etc. also check that when the passport is read misreading has not crept in. If all was good do not submit and wait. If thy do indeed need further documentation wait for e mail. If not wait a little longer mine came on the last day. I tried an e mail to uk visa office that might have helped in the end believe it’s down to them. Good luck

Sending passport up to Embassy Tuesday

If my application fails (probably because I screen shot everything) then I think I will go for 45 day visa exemption and then try to extend 30 days but then have to change flight dates if possible

I believe it’s the 60 day stv with option to extend 30 days. Not that I plan to hang around immigration offices..

Once posted and paid. Now asking for Invitation letter and diplomatic residence permit. There’s no end...!
