There is a handy tool for showing visa processing times in the previous month for all types of visa here... https://www.gov.uk/visa-processing-times What is interesting is that applications for settlement visas are apparently faster from Cebu than Manila (at least for those decisions made in June 2015) Cebu Settlement Visas Settlement Most applications are processed within 60 days. Number of days to process application 5 days 10 days 15 days 30 days 60 days % of applications decided 7% 21% 21% 78% 100% Note: actual processing times may vary depending on a range of factors.
