    the vfs website is also saying 91% processed within the 30 day period

    You may have found also the Embassy will have had other pressing issues such as holy week(holidays) and the ash crisis to deal with.
    Also over the years I have been on this site and others the between march and September seems to be peak time for visa applications.

    Im sure you will have good news soon
    Oh lord why did you make so many clothes and shoe shops

    its just luck that some one got one in a week, last year it was taking on average nearly 3 months..

    so stop worrying, as long as you get your visa, that's all that counts

    We've been waiting for 4 weeks and today my fiancee got her email saying that the application was ready for collection at VFS and to come and pick it up. Now I'm scared.. is it approved or not, we will soon see. I'm actually surprised because I thought it would take longer after she was asked to take all the documents out of their neat and ordered folders, only to stick it into one big pile without much order doh.

    Wish us luck.

    Sparky chin up mate. 5 weeks = 25 days less any holidays. The figures you quote are working days.

    Sure it will arrive soon.
