Timescales

The Home office usually ask that we allow it atleast 6 months to decided a case. Various applications have various turnaround time. You can pay for premium service if you want a quicker turnaround but times scales are 2-4 months for business immigration and 6 months for personally immigration. Recently the Home Office has stated that it is taking 11 months to deal with further Leave to remain. In some cases, we have not received decisions within 2 years. This is unlikely but it is happening and we will always chase the Home Office to make decision if it fails to do so with 6 months.
