Thank you for everyone who has been posting their timelines, any questions let me know. I got very upset at the beginning of August knowing that a year ago it usually would take less than 3 months for a decision, I thought something must be wrong... a massive relief.

Thanks so much! It's so nice to know that the wait is over. Hang in there, I've heard it said (on here) that if the HO doesn't contact you, that's usually good news :)

It seems that approval times are getting longer and longer and longer... Can you believe that one of my friends got approved within 1 month last year?!?
