But it’s possible you might be on to something.

I dont think this can be true because self employed is registered with hmrc and home office is directly connected with them to verify their documents. If you supplied according to their guidance it can be quicker than emplyement cat

How do you know they are directly connected with HMRC or are you making an assumption?

Has anyone else noticed that the Home Office processing times website (whilst not updated from May 2017) doesn't give the Settlement visa option anymore?

Congratulations. So there's hope for us in Australia after all!! So was the email from Sheffield and the passport was available immediately?? Just wondering as when hopefully something does happen we'll need to move quickly.

88 days so far and longing for the frustration to end.

Applied from Australia March this year. Just passed the 160 day mark today. MP made enquiries but UKVI told him that they will process the application in their own good time and ran the ubiquitous 'not straightforward' malarkey to him. We've now had to separate as sponsor's visa expired for applicant's country.

UK Visa Processing times on UK Gov website have been updated. They look a proper mess!
