Applications applied online: 29 April 2015
Applications and biometrics submitted at VAC center in Manila 20 May 2015
Email from British Embassy saying decision has been made 01 July 2015
Email from VAC center saying documents will be returned 02 July 2015
Documents received via courier service to Palawan 03 July 2015

So all in all about six weeks from submitting our documents to receiving our visas. Much quicker than i had anticipated!
Many congratulations
It's been a struggle but worth it.

Well done
