Hi All, Pls can anyone advise on the current waiting time for processing of uk settlement visa based on marriage to a british citizen? My story: I lived in the UK for some years and was on the last year of my DLR when I was offered a good job in Nigeria, so instead of applying for my ILR in the UK, ...
I'm sure u'll get a response soon. But bear in mind that the Immigration officers might pay u a home visit just to check whether ur marriage is genuine and subsisting, they still do these randomly especially if u are an overstayer or failed asylum seeker.

I got 3 years leave. Also cos I misplaced my passport which I was unable to submit with my initial application to the HO, I was advised by the immigration officer that they will send me a HO Travel Document, which I should receive by post shortly.

Many thanks for your reply. I was advised by my solicitor that my case is a strong one that STRONGLY FITS THE DP3/96 concession becos: 1. My Visa had not expired before I married a British Citizen. The reason why it took long to apply for my leave to remain was that I misplaced my passport and it wa...
