UK Set (M) decision time?

[mrskint]

Hi all,

 

Just applied for this for my wife. I know the official decision making time is up to 6 months, does anyone have any experience with this as to what the real wait times are for a decision and if they really do extend to 6 months or is it earlier in reality?

 

Made the schoolboy error of applying for it without checking wait times (I thought I read it was a lot quicker). We are going on holiday in mid Oct after her current visa has expired, will they give her another permit or form of documentation to get back into the UK if we don’t get a decision before then?

 

Wishing I’d just stumped up the extra for super priority service now ????

Now they have gone digital, the decision times seem to have dropped dramatically. A settlement visa was around three months last year. The last one I read about was five or six weeks. They might say that it can take up to six months but that will be "problem" applications.
