Anyone got approval of work permit lately? Its been almost 4 weeks since medical and It’s not passed yet. How many weeks before medical approve?
I received my WP last Friday 5 weeks after my biometrics were taken. That is in the UK (although on the processing time website it said applications from the UK were taking 3 weeks)

That was fast! Are you sure the processing took only 3 weeks in UK? It’s really fast. Our been more than 3 months since biometrics and medical is not yet passed. It’s getting frustrating.

Hi guys. Did you receive any updates recently?
They are finalizing applications between January 3 and 9, 2021. I submitted my application on November 24, 2020, and still waiting. Although during the last two weeks, I had two ghosts updated. So annoying.

Got the same reply from webform. Its been 3 weeks since i did my medical and still it’s under review. Does it take that much time to review medical? Quite frustrating.
