When my husband will get his family visa?

My husband is working in Aspire and has applied for family visa on 10/10/2012. He was told that it will come in a week's time. Now it is more than a month but he still didn't get his family visa and it is showing that 'Application under process'. Please let me know Why it is taking so much time and How long will it take?
you are not alone, don't you worry...we are waiting as well for the positive result of our application like you.
all we have now is more patience and pray hard!
goodluck :)
