It took then 2 weeks to issue my visa from the day the medical arrived at the embassy. I am not sure if the UK lockdown has something to do with it and why it’s taking so long, but I suggest you enquire with the embassy about your visa and see what they say about it

2 weeks is a decent time for sure! Yes, yesterday I decided to contact the Embassy via the online form and the phone number. The operator did not help at all, but got a response from the Embassy saying that it was under review and they were unable to tell me how long until it was sorted.

Anyway, today I checked the visa status and it says ISSUED and passport will be delivered tomorrow, yay! So I think the lockdown affected the visa processing a lot, but contacting them also helped!

Thank you for your response!

Out of interest, when was your medical appointment? I'm trying to gauge how long it is currently taking for the results from the medical to be transferred over to the Embassy.

Really interested on this thread as I am in the same situation. Had my medical the 28th October and the interview on the 4th Nov, unfortunately my medical didn't arrive on time for the interview (I missed bringing my GP referral document to the medical exam). I called Visa Medicals and they said they sent all my docs to the Embassy the 2nd November and my case is still refused after a month since the interview happened? I really don't understand why and I think I am losing my mind waiting for it to be sorted!!!

For anyone who went through the same thing at the London Embassy, how long until it was sorted?? Thanks in advance!!
