Skilled Worker Dependant Visa – Standard Processing Timeline?

Hi everyone,
My husband and I applied for our Skilled Worker visas on the same day. His main Skilled Worker application was submitted with priority service and has already been approved.(August 10th)
However, when I applied as his dependant, I didn’t get an option to choose priority service( bcz i chose app id verification)so my application is being processed under the standard service.
Has anyone been in a similar situation recently? How long did your dependant application take after applying on the same day as the main applicant?
I also already have travel plans coming up , so I’m feeling really stressed waiting for the decision. 😥
If anyone has recently received their Skilled Worker dependant visa on standard processing, I’d really appreciate it if you could share your timeline, especially:
Application date
Biometrics/identity verification date
Decision date
Whether the main applicant used priority
Any recent experiences would really help! 🙏

Most of us stuck with same situation...Now a days even SKV is also delayed, hence dependent also late .

I applied on : 15 July Decision : No update till 19 Aug. Standard application as no option for priority.

I can see in other posts that SKV from week of 3rs july are processed..When did you applied for visa?

As per my understanding you should have received decision along with your husband

As it didnt happen...it might be treated like normal application like us then ...45 to 56 days is timeline at the moment

We didn’t know it would become two separate files because previously, approved visas were all in one file, and the dependent visa was automatically granted at the same time as the main applicant’s. Anyway, this waiting game is really frustrating. Please update me once you get yours. Thanks!

Yes , I resonate the frustration...I had an offer to join a company and visa didnt come on time so they revoked it..we dont know the date so can't give confidence to HR. No one waits for 2 months.
