A member whose medical had passed with no application movement since, worried about a single annual university intake, asked whether raising a webform would help speed things up.
What the thread suggested:- Members were consistent that raising a webform at this stage generally doesn't speed anything up — it's not treated as an effective lever for a routine processing delay.
- Processing time between medical/biometric completion and a final decision is highly unpredictable — members described the range as anywhere from about an hour to several months, with no reliable way to estimate where any individual case will fall.
- Given a single-intake-per-year constraint, some anxiety is understandable, but the group's general advice was to be patient rather than expect a webform to change the timeline.
The practical takeaway: if your medical has passed and your application otherwise seems stuck, don't expect a webform to meaningfully speed up processing — timelines in this stage vary enormously and unpredictably, so patience is the more realistic approach.
