How long virgin taking these days

in Credit cards
I applied for a virgin card on 4 Jan. I got a message saying they couldn't give a decision straight away.
Anyhow week of 4 Jan was full of snow, so didn't expect anything for a good week, but now it is more than 2 weeks and I still haven't heard a peep.
I am sure I didn't give my email or mobile phones cos I hate been hassled, so appart from the copy of the t&c I copied to my computer I have nothing to say I applied for the card.
Rambling really, just want to know how long decisions are currently taking ??

I applied in early January
According to Experian credit check done on 8th
I have CIFAS Protection so I am assuming that is why they are taking so long.
Having read a few horror stories about them on here I'm not really bothered if they accept me or not
