well in 2005-2006 the british embassy in manila recieved 1920 settlement visa apps, that would include all settlement apps for those who just got married to Brits and their dependants and also for Filipinos settled who are applying for partner or for their kids.

but thats roughly 8 a day, for each working day

but then they had 35,000 non settlement apps , which covers student visa (1,700), visit visa (17,500) ,workpermits (2,700), transit (6,000), others (6,000) etc

so 37,000+ apps a year , thats more than 2 aday

so your 2 a day is near 150 visa apps to look at for each working day (250 working days)

In that case, Embassy is making a huge profit!!! Perhaps, Big bonuses for ECOs!
