Re: Spouse visa processing times

Really appreciate that info Joynhope15. Can I ask, what date did you receive the supporting documents? Or are you still awaiting them?

Re: Spouse interview for settlement visa!

I had one of these interviews, my spouse is also Jamaican. It was quite short, they asked about when we met, how we met, etc. They also asked (I think inappropriately) about whether my wife was working while she was in Jamaica, although they didn't push me for any details of this. You should be able...

Re: Spouse visa processing times

I appreciate the reply given, however does anyone else have any recent experience of recent spouse visa processing times, either for priority or normal? I am cynically wondering if they are putting off approvals until end of the quarter to "improve" pre-election immigration figures...

Spouse visa processing times

I have searched the forum for a while before posting this, but I can't find much in the way of details about typical processing/decision time for spouse settlement visas from outside UK i.e. entry clearance. I am a UK citizen, we made an application for my wife from Jamaica, and paid extra for prior...

Re: Spouse visa refused, reapplying

Thank you for advice, we're reapplying with priority service as we need decision ASAP. I'll take up the refusal with FCO at a later date, try to claim back fee etc, as it seems they wrongly refused as we got no request for the two documents.

Re: Spouse visa refused, reapplying

Thanks for the replies. You say it's quicker to appeal - I was advised this would take 6 months minimum? Was told the quick "Administrative review" not available for spouse visa.

Spouse visa refused, reapplying

My wife is Jamaican, I'm UK citizen, we applied for UK spouse entry visa but were refused for not supplying (a) my divorce decree absolute and (b) letter from employer confirming my salary. Of course I'm very annoyed we missed these, in fact we didn't read appendix FM-SE at all somehow. Took about 7...
