When to apply
It is recommended to apply for a visa at least three (3) months prior to the date of your travel to the UK. According to UK Embassy's service standards of processing a visa, all non-settlement visas are being processed one hundred (100%) percent within twelve (12) weeks, ninety-eight (98%) within six (6) weeks and ninety (90%) within three (3) weeks. Therefore, a visitor visa to UK will surely be processed within 12 weeks or 3 months reckoned from the time the application is filed together with the supporting documents and the application fee.
Processing delays may happen sometimes depending on the peculiarity of your case. The Embassy may need longer time to assess and process your application especially when the application is lacking a material document or requirement or the embassy felt the need to interview the applicant. This will cause the embassy longer processing time. But the UK Embassy provides some explanation and information for that.
Fast- tracking of Visa Application
Many have a mistaken belief that speeding up the processing of a UK visa application is possible. It is not at all true. Upon submitting the visa application and the pertinent documents to the UK Embassy, the Visa Officer will process the same following their standard procedure and without any intervention from any individual or any office, firm or group whatsoever. Visa processing may take shorter or longer time on a case by case basis and depending on the volume of UK visa applications. As soon as it is in the hands of the Visa Officer, applicants may only monitor or track the visa processing and nothing else can be done. Fast-tracking of visa application cannot be promised to any applicant.
The least that an applicant can do to hasten the visa processing is to research, plan and organize everything before filing the application. If still uncertain and caught off-guard, the knowledge and services of immigration adviser or visa organizer may give you rescue. The works and services of UK visa and UK Immigration consultants are aimed at strengthening and speeding up the process. They may not influence the Visa Officer's work in processing the application and arriving at a decision but they can organize, prepare and craft your application in a complete and detailed manner, free from loopholes in such a way that Visa Officer may be persuaded to issue you a visa at his first examination.
