I did call VSF today, they said it is normal for PR visa to take a month or slightly more. Online visit visa's take a week.

You can raise CSE to london office. Its mentioned in the letter.. incase of delay you can contact london office not riyadh..

Latest passport returned took 29 days (@Faithful84x), for me it is 27 days until today so if it crosses the one month by a week for example I will raise CSE.

But if u will raise CSE on friday then it will be answered by next tuesday wednesday.. so another 5-6 days for CSE reply.. so its always better to raise CSE 3-4 days before completion of 4th week.. Thats why im going to raise cse by this friday.

A friend of mine got it within 4 or 5 days and that was in June. I can't understand this delay. can we expect rejection in this phase??? But since all of us in the same boat, it seems to be normal.
