It seems like alot of priority payers are still waiting 2 months like non priority. What might be the case for this? Is it them being understaffed? New policies after the elections? Messy applications? Especially there is no way to check a status if you are outside the UK. Whats the best approach an...
I got n aknowedglement 2 hours once it arrived and that i was missing documents and that was june 5th. Still havent heard anything from them. I called twice and emailed and couldnt tell me anything. im feeling awful. I jsut want to know everyting is ok..
Its possible but sounds super risky.... if its something thats probably in the last 10 years they might heavily consider it. So many of us on this forum and priority, have been waiting for ages because we all have different circumstances... you need to definatley get legal advice i recommend xxxx. t...
Hi Pix, God that is so dissapointing. the best thing for you to do now is email them with the paid 5 pound service, and to be as detailed as you can. you can choose to escalate the file. I escalated a payment for priority and they did it in 24 hours. Only because they hadnt refunded it in my accoun...
Hi pix, It was like visa.sheffiled Very general.. and the automated reply was like this is an internal email so y seemed like it was very direct. But the name is vague :/ what country are you from pix? I'm from usa We applied from New Delhi, India in the first week of February 2017. It's closing in...
No way you'll be fine. I'm from the USA and had the same thing. I had failure to appear in court for a ticket, and I applied but cleared it up with paying and taking it off my record, just to be safe. I asked a lawyer and she said it's like DUI, Hit and run, running from cops Idk?! Crazy stuff like ...

Why are they charging so much just to see if your application is ok. There are people who could hardly afford 20 pounds. The link should work for ALL applicants regardless of their status of their visa. What is the best way of checking all your documents are ok? the new UKVI are being really useless...
Hi, I have applied for a wife settlement. I really do think I will be accepted, but its always having that back up plan. I do not want to go too long without seeing my husband. Would I be able to apply for a visitor visa if settlement ever got denied? And how soon? Or Once having the visitor visa an...
How long have oyu been working for them? If you have been with them for over 6 months? there is a special calulation they allow if you have been with the same employer in the last 6 months. Try to add your assets, savings or anything you have for back up.
Why in the world is it taking so long. its so wrong to be paying so much out of pocket to be in the normal queue. I really do know is because they either A. are super understaffed or B. they hired alot of new people who are not experienced and it making it difficult which they can make errors.
Hi Simon, I could not believe it, I was shoked. I thought like they emailed me saying the package was just received but not opened if that makes sense. within 2 hours they started working on it since arrived at 8:30 am. i did not even know about appendix 2. Such a joke my visa lawyer never brought i...
The day it arrived on june 5 2017 - 8:30, they opened it and started working on it at 10:30 am. just said i was missing one paper and i can email it to them.
Then i sent it, and i called yesterday the jun 6th, and they are still processing. quite quick however

Hi, That's actually insane I had no idea that was going on. Unfortunately with settlement ones we have no choice. I've heard of a recent friend from AU who did not even pay priority got her settlement in 2-3 weeks. I think it's a case by case and at this point if you're lucky they'll start working o...
Hi Pixel, Did you even pay priority? WE didnt want to fork out $700, but if we didnt, it would drive us crazy you know?? so we are sending it off june 2. ive heard of some cases, that people will get theirs a few days later. Or even people paying priority that took longer than the suggested time. Di...
My lord, thats a long bloody time! i am coming from the US and my husband is the UK citizen. also around this time of year is a very busy time. hang in there!
Simon, From what the consulate recently told me is send stuff 5 days AFTER biometircs... it says on there a 10 day cap i think? I think its a new rule that people arent clear about. Im sure alot of people dont even know. dont stress, youll be fine.. you need to call back the consulate cuz you paid p...
Hi Casa, Both lived in Aus. For the application i went back to my home country. I am in the US, and he went to the UK to get a job before we applied. so when we he arrived and secured his job we applied. we made the previous mistake that we had no idea he had to have a job at the date of applciation...
Hi, Thanks for the Answer, its my first spouse visa! the 33 month one. My husband is the sponsor. we already paid for the visa and all.. so i dont wanna change all the stuff again. 5.4B means he was outside of the UK, we lived in australia until may 4, 2017. He made 21k pounds in the last 12 months ...
We already made a massive mistake before we sent it off. So now we are redoing the application 15 days later. We are 5.4B, so we need to provide the LAST 12 MONTHS PRIOR of income that proves £18,600. In our calculations we made it at £20,598.00. My spouse has different jobs in media and we lived in...
