Hi Ed,
We got married 14th January and we are still here in Cebu. It took about 1 month for the marriage certificate to come through. We also spent some time to get my wife's passport renewed with my surname on it (it was due to expire end of 2014 anyway). She also took an IELTS test (which can be take before marriage) which also delayed things a bit.
I work offshore, but the missus has done pretty much her own things when i was away with minimal help from me.
It has been 30 'working days' since we submitted the visa application so i envisage (all things going smoothly) that we could be in UK by mid to late August. I suspect if we had not bothered with the passport renewal and had done the IELTS test earlier we could have chopped off one month.
So i guess 6 months after minimum, unless someone can beat that record....?
