Re: Anyone applied for a STNI 137 Visa?
Just to share my time line. Our visa(STNI 137) was approved in 8 months and 10 days. We are from Singapore. I think for UK residents, the average time is about 6 months.
All the best to forumers who are still waiting. The wait is worth it.

Re: Anyone applied for a STNI 137 Visa?
thanks everyone for your replies, has everyone who's submitted thier visa application put their name on the visa timeline sheet that 'the colebecks' are doing?
heres the link
http://www.freewebs.com/britishexpats/index.htm
really usefull sheet as you can see how everyone is progressing with their application - so you dont feel your the only one waiting to hear news!
(it looks like it hasnt been updated for a week or so - we asked for ours to be added but it hasnt gone on yet - normally shes really quick off the mark - i think shes probably on holiday at the mo.)

Hi
I got my full acknowledgement almost four weeks ago so now have a file number...just waiting for a CO, although I have read recently if you have frontloaded police checks and medicals (mine have been cleared by LCU) it sometimes skips the CO stage and goes straight to visa
I am keeping my fingers crossed that I may hear something soon
