Anyone have an idea on the current processing time for residency visas, lodged in UK?

Don

Currently 6-9 months for PR no job offer, may all change (quicker?) after 1) court case imminent in NZ, 2) new immigration year July 1.

Will definitely have job offer, so hopefully less than 9 months!!

Hard to predict, depends if you get a 'good' officer dealing with your case. It also depends on the quality of your application, nice, neat, organised ones seem to get processed quicker. Took us 3 months.

With job offer, 1-3 months right now (London). As Scarlett says, should be nice and quick. NZIS can be very efficient when they feel like it (ie you've got a job offer). On go-slow otherwise right now for various reasons.
