Well at least you might have got some hours out of them in return for your fee. Good luck !

Olosh,

Thanks aha.

I guess going overboard worked - wifey received her passport yesterday with 30-day vignette included. We plan on bringing her home in a couple of weeks!!

Good Afternoon Everyone. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience with changing contact details 'mid-application'? We applied on 21 March 2017 but recently my wife has changed her phone number due to nuisance calls from competing mobile phone service providers. Does anybody know who to contac...

My opinion is not very expert, but 1300 pages seems rather like overkill to me. Even just that sheer quantity of paperwork will make your application difficult to process. I totally understand the urge to ensure that they cannot say you did not give enough evidence, but too much is problematic as w...

The flip side is they can simply reject applicants unreasonably because of various strange reasons, for example, without asking a document an applicant has not submitted. This is what we are worried about. I saw someone’s application was rejected because their sponsor included their work contract b...

Neosprin, Sorry to hear about your refusal, truly gutted for you. I remember you were posting on similar threads to me around the time I joined the forum. :cry: Just wanted to ask if your spouse is self-employed? If they are not surely they shouldn't have to provide a tax return document... (I mean,...

Hi Cnrlln I got the 31st email & also received another email on the 30th October stating they need more time to decide!!! I’ve been waiting since January😌 I have escalated my case again.. i know it’s a waste of time & money. But let’s see what I hear from them this time.. Hey Mehmoods, Sorr...

Yeah that’s understandable Char, we get that it’s a standard email that there are other people waiting and such. But what we’re saying is that every time we try to chase things up (even through our local MP), we’re just met with the same response every time. Surely it would be more time effective fo...

Good Afternoon Everyone. My wife and I were wondering if anyone that has / had been served a ‘Case Not Straightforward’ email has had any luck with finding out exactly what is not straightforward? For a bit of background, my wife applied on 21 March 2017 and was given her ‘Case Not Straightforward’ ...

Been a while since I've jumped in on this thread. I see that a few of you have finally left us, congrats to everyone that has heard good news. :D Just wondering out of all of the applicants that received an email stating that they'd hear by 31 October, how many of you actually heard back? We got an ...

Good evening ladies and gents, hope all is well. Just signing in to vent after a long week with still no progress. We are currently on 116 working days with still no update and will reach the end of 24 working weeks this coming Friday. The last update we received was the dreaded but increasingly mor...

I then mentioned the VAF number that came along with the email once application was prepared for consideration. They told me that this record is there in the system and is under consideration and awaiting approvals. After calling them every week with GWF number didnt serve any purpose. I tried the ...

A quick question guys I called them today asking about my husband's visa and they said to me 'the application is still to reach the decesion centre' she won't give me any explanation about what that means!? Anyone has an idea? We applied on the 27th April Who was responsible for sending off his app...

We contacted our MP around end of April (harder now due to upcoming elections etc) and he was able to contact Sheffield directly (they have their own lines perhaps?) and was able to get an update and request priority on my husband's file. Also, Labour MPs are a lot more helpful with your spouse's i...

You should definitely escalate it with the MP. I did the same thing for my husband and we got a response from the HO the very same day. Moreover, the MPs have the authority to request priority status on your application. Really? That's interesting to know. At what point did you contact your MP? Was...

cnrlln - Mate, you must be a very positive person - we (me and my wife) are very disappointed (if I use another word than "depressed") esp knowing that there seem to be no light visible at the end of this deep dark tunnel Just seen your update on the timeline thread mate. Brilliant news. ...

Mate, you must be a very positive person - we (me and my wife) are very disappointed (if I use another word than "depressed") esp knowing that there seem to be no light visible at the end of this deep dark tunnel I try my best I guess, like everyone I'd imagine here I have good days and b...

Once submitted we received the usual BS reply saying we would get a response in 24 hours.... well in true UKVI style that was 24 hours ago and guess what.... no response! Hey Nick, welcome to the club ahaha, currently on day 3 of waiting for a reply. :lol: The next step is going to be a letter to o...

I'm sure this isn't the feeling you've been longing for and there are many more things you wanted like everyone else to have the initial days/months of your marriage close to your spouse and not spending evenings and weekends on skype or whatsapp video. You can say that again, we were married in Go...

Quick questions: 1. which VAC did you apply from? i.e. Which city were the biometrics done in? 2. Was your application priority or non-priority? Mohit Hi Mohit, not sure if you picked up my earlier reply. -VFS Centre in Thimphu, Bhutan. We were the first ever UK spousal visa application to be made ...

:roll: Its shame to be a Brit right now 100% agreed. I was on FaceTime with my wife whilst making the call on loudspeaker, I was genuinely embarrassed by it if I'm being honest. My wife is pretty adamant that now we've heard all of your input that we shouldn't bother wasting our money on making the...

Mohit, glad everyone is in the same boat with the HGS hate!! I understand that UKVI have a job to do but it was made out during our application process that we were going to be inundated with SMS and email updates on the process, to this day we have one and that was only to say that they'd received ...

Afternoon guys. Just a quick update on this and to vent my frustration I guess. We replied to this first generic response through the online contact form again on Monday at around 0500am. We have still not received any sort of response to that, so today I thought it'd be wise to contact them using t...
