I've read that IT CAN take up to 4-6 weeks, but mostly its done within 2 weeks. Anyway, just contact them and ask. :)
When did you send your passport? One thing you could have done was request GCMS around the same time and it could have shown if the visa has been stamped. You can always contact them as it shouldnt take more than 3 weeks to get the passport back.

I received my passport today.. I wouldnt worry about it just yet. Have you included your bank draft within? If so check with the bank if they have cashed it yet. I would wait until January atleast.
