1. Print online application form and also Appendix 2 on paper (appendix 2 will need to be filled in paper or using Adobe - not on website) 2. What is your nationality?

Re: VFS Spouse Visa Tracking Not Working

It won't work until the application is decided. Roughly takes 12 working weeks from date of biometric these days where it is a straight forward case. Only thing you can do is wait for now.

Re: Certified documents for UK Spouse

If you are a British national I don't believe there is any requirement to get your passport photocopy certified. It will be the photo / signature page etc. Plus if you have travelled to meet your spouse, you may want to but don't have to include any pages showing stamps of entry in that country.
