i'm passed needing advice, but for many years puzzled by the visa process..

1) do ther gov ever check the details of the sponsor, thier bank, mortage company,landlord, co-sponsor, or anyone else , after 6 visa's ive appiled for , no one in my visa apps was ever contacted about my visa app

2) how long does it take to actually process a visa app ? 10 mins ? an hour ?. if they dont check anything , why upto a 3 month wait
