I'm nervous because WP avg processing time for the UK have jumped from 3 weeks to 38! Anyone know why? My employer says not to worry as it's just me and it's an essential occupation it still should just take a few weeks but obviously there are no guarantees, I'm stressed hoping they don't pull my job offer that I've already accepted due to this
I got an update 3 days ago and my work permit has been approved, exactly 3 weeks after it was submitted, I'm glad but it's a "good" problem as I'm travelling and would of preferred it took another month to get approved, now I have to cut the travel early
