The decision was made on 13 July. M...

Hi pixel, Hope all is well. Just want to know if HO have made any progress with your other halfs visa app?? I think your 120 working days are up or almost up? Have you looked at the pre action protocol stuff? Hi Maibm, Yes, our time has been up and our MP has followed up with HO. Our MP made an off...

Oh noo :( do you know anyone has had the same situation? Well if we declare does it mean that they automatically refuse it? That was she is concerned about .. or they will take into account honesty ? She is absolutely terrified No they can't refuse a spouse visa simply based on this because under a...

Hi Simon, Thank you very much for your helpful response. I have actually filled out the application form from the UK or should I say the solicitor filled it out. He then opted for the standard service without asking me whether I wanting to go for the priority service (which I did). He said the appl...

Please can everybody that has received a case not straightforward email or Supreme Court judgement on hold email contact their local MP to contact the immigration minister to take this up as you will not get your visa until 18 months has passed. Everyone is being lied to as they are sending these g...

Very good information and very satisfactory
One more thing
60 working days start from date of online application,date of submission of passport/bio matrices or
Date of original documents received by Sheffield?

From the date of biometrics.

Something like this should definitely be declared on an application. You may write a cover letter explaining the circumstances.

Home Office sees suppression of any info as deception or contriving to frustrate the immigration rules and can penalize you heavily.

Can take up to 18 months as new law to the way applications are being processed, it is no longer on a first submitted basis rather on complexity now.

18 months? What's the source to this?

Hi all, I am new to the forum and I've searched far & wide for an answer to my question but can't find an answer hence the new topic. My sincerest of apologies if this is being covered already, I'd welcome links or feedback. My question concerns the time it takes to be issued with the IA10 noti...

Hi Maibm, Small claims court might be a good option. I don't know how it works in the UK, but would be really interested to know. We'd be willing to go small claims route if someone can confirm that this is in fact possible. Also, wasn't your application awaiting a decision? If I remember correctly...

Hi all, I've been reading the comments on this thread as well as the locked one. Basically I'm in the same boat...me (sponsor) nor my wife (applicant seeking settlement visa to be with me) have received an 'on hold' or 'complex case' email. My wife's biometrics was on 27 Feb 17 and to date it's bee...

We are really contemplating going for a Pre-Action Protocol and send a message through our solicitor to the Home Office that we are willing to take this to court if this takes any longer. I honestly think more people should be doing this otherwise, HO will keep delaying our cases indefinitely. Hi P...

Spouse visa application date - 06/01/2017 (Ahmedabad, India) Contacted UKVI through email and phone a several times but never received any satisfactory answer. I got my local MP involved for my wife's visa application on 19th June. The following response was received from UKVI on 7th July - Our rec...

Dear CR001,

Could you please look into my PM privilege as well? It hasn't been working for a while and I have never sent anyone any unsolicited messages.

This is Absolutely Horrible, MP has been the last hope:/ Pixel rage What was your biometrics date? Biometrics on Feb 3.

Even the emails every week are gonna cost you over £5 per email lol. However, the issue is my husband has missed a training in Dubai because of this, and there's one coming up in Japan in August, so he really needs his passport as I really don't know how long they'll take. Obviously I don't want to...

It's been nearly 2 months since the status changed to "awaiting a decision" and there seems to be no hint whatsoever of how much longer this is going to take. I know a few other forum members on here that were on the same status update and would really appreciate if you have had any news ...

It's really hard to say how long it would take going from "awaiting a decision" to "decided" and everyone's baseline seems to be different. I for one have been awaiting a decision that was last updated on 10/05/17. It's about to be 2 months since and not sure how much longer the...
