yes, if you budget in your mind for 3-6 months, you won't be disappointed if it takes that long, but it'll be a very pleasant surprise if it's quicker

Yes ... that's what Myrna was led to believe - or, more accurately, THREE months as being the norm - when she lodged HER application on January 20, 2009. In the event, however, the visa was approved just 4/5 weeks later ... so WE were pleasantly surprised!

I think, though, Al ... a lot probably depends on the time of year an application is submitted, the Embassy's workload at any given point ... and, not least, the Entry Clearance Officer(s) assigned to a particular case. In the course of my membership of this forum, for example, I've even known of some [isolated] instances where visas have been granted within a few days ... but, generally speaking, those tend to be the exception rather than the rule.
