Re: Marriage settlement visa for my Fiancee
Finally got the visa, here is the timeline:
3-FEB - Documents submission and biometric taken
23-MAR - Phone call for escalation
28-MAR - Being asked to provide further information, provided them by email on same day
1-APR - Email received for completion and ready to pick up
3-APR - visa and documents collected at local visa office
It looks like the visa was granted on 29-MAR, and it took 3 more days after that the email (automated, during weekend) to reach applicant for their pick up.
It took more than 40 working days for the whole process, without fast track and 2 escalation requests.

Re: Marriage settlement visa for my Fiancee
There is a large backlog at the moment. Processing times are now approximately 12 weeks. Bear in mind that since most people pay for priority processing it doesn't actually speed things more than prevents you from being held up.
