She only runs a small store attached to her parents house, makes hardly any money worth mentioning.
I really hope they will grant her visa or atleast give us a chance in an interview if we get to Heathrow.
The website says a visit visa could be processed in around 3 weeks.
Does anybody have any experience of the time processing?
Also do they give the option to send the option to send the docs and passport back to the applicants home? Because the online form never asked?
Hi, Dave welcome here! I got my visa twice for 6 months as a tourist, they only process for 7 days, and email to me that my visa is dispatched shortly.

Fingers crossed and think positive!
