This is in reference to my earlier post, I copied the spread sheet to read some data in my excel sheet by applying different filters to it and said that the Visa issued since application date took a maximum of 289 days by the NDVO.
I applied the same filters again to check something else but found that there isnt one applicant with 289 days on it, so I missed something and mis-read it, APOLOGIES to the forumites, however now, it looks like most of the visas issued so far had a maximum timescale of 277 days.
Having said that, there are people who have waited for 289 days in the 'PPR section' of the spread sheet recently!
Hence it comes back to the usual unpredictable pattern of NDVO and there isnt anything like they MIGHT be working on an application for a maximum of 289 days only.
