I am also in the same shoes oh, mine is even worse than yours, i applied since january 2009 for students visa, class to start 4th febuary, missed the date, was given a new start date for 4th april, yet till date, my passport never come out not to talk of the visa inside it. ried calling them every week, they said dey wer workin on it. sent them a mail, they replied sayin my application was defered for some checks(i wonder wat). na so i see am till today. April 4 don pass so i just dey look for something to do becos if you focus your mind on these people, you'll be stagnant. you can never make a plan ahead in this country. i even had to remind tham of thier "Guideline to Visa Application" on their website and they said if there were other things to check, it will exceed 60 days. you can imagine that one cant even travel anyother place cos the bhc has your passport and they are doing nothing , its so crazy!!! my dear just relax.

That they have a lot of work to do does not mean that they should click "Pause" on applicants' lives. they should employ more facilities so that they can be efficient. even if they need to carry out investigations, they should have time frames for that. Becos of their incompetencies, one cannot plan a trip to another country while applyin for visa to the uk.

You are one of the few lucky people. me, i was given 10-15 working days, i have tracked it online, called VFS, they kept tellin me "Not ready". when i explained my predicament that my resumption date was near, the attendant on phone gave me a number to reach the BHC Visa section. I called them and asked about the status of my application and they still said "we are sorry we have not yet taken a decision". yours truly, till today, na the story oh. even their chart on their site says 5-60 working days. i just give tham till dis friday and if i dont get any call from them, i am storming the BHC and am gonna cause mayhem there. they had even better not denied me cos after the long wait, they are goona pay me damages for wasting my tym.
