There's quite a few of us on the immigration forum on various threads - come and join us...
The thing about the longer processing times is speculation not fact - things have been at a standstill for a few weeks but we're all hoping, as Stu said, that things will speed up after this reorganisation.

Ours was 16th May.
Here's a link to the main 139 thread if you are interested, http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=333674
That email from visa bureau is not based on any information from DIMA - according to my agent some agents send these things out when visa grants slow down a bit to stop clients hassling them and they always exaggerate the timescales in that event so don't take it as gospel.![Wink](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/wink.gif)

138s usually take longer than 139s as 139 is priority and 138 isn't.
