[Steve77r]

Price jump? you mean on flight prices? or SV apps?

[Kiggs]

Flights. 700 quid plus on some days.

[Steve77r]

I know mate, I have told the mrs she may have to wait now till Feb, I cant foot that sort of cost for a single flight.

[Kiggs]

I have to fly her over before the 13th January because on the 18th I fly to Singapore and then Burma

Thanks for all the advise and guidance this site offers

Best of luck for every one else

Know what you mean mate sending us both insane, good luck for tmrw.

[Steve77r]

Goodbye 10 weeks hello 11!

[Kiggs]

There is no rush for me now tbh. I have just looked at the flights 1stjan there about 500 and then shoot up to around 8/900 until the 11th.

Not told her that yet! That's going to be a fun conversation

Guys I share your frustrations - Kiggs & I submitted on the same day and likewise I've heard zero. Maybe that's a bit of a good thing in that if they wanted any further info then they would have asked by now. I dont know how they work but I would hope that someone would have done an initial skim through the applications to see if they look ok. Also I rather suspect that this month there would have been a lot of visit visas to process with people going to visit relatives in UK for Xmas etc.

I reckon we will all hear next week so just sit tight.

Best of luck to everyone and Happy New Year.

Having just said all that I went on the UKBA website and they seem to have amended their standards for processing times. Before my recollection was that they would process 100% within 60 working days now they are saying 95% in 60 and 100% within 120 days!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Talk about moving the goalposts! TVE & Visa + - any comments?
