Was under the impression on the web site 8 weeks but still worried

i fink you have applied for the wrong visa, as your husband got the 3yrs in 2011 he was just meant to extend it again under flr o for another 3yrs, fingers crossed but expect the worse

[agnesleifi]

I applied again on flr(0) under other category how long does this take after biometrics are done as the website says 8 weeks

[omobajay]

yes it shuld take about 8weeks if everything is straight like no offence or police case and you submitted enough proof that you guys are living together still...u can start calling them if you havent heard from them in 8weeks.

[agnesleifi]

And who do you call if you haven't heard anything, their websites are not very clear and give no numbers etc

Just telephoned this morning as it is 8 weeks since we applied and was told it hadn't been processed yet, so we only have a window of 4 weeks for it to arrive , would I be better getting the docs back and going to a premium centre to get it done or would I lose my fee already paid advice on this would be greatly appreciated

If you withdraw the application , you forfeit your money, and he will lose his lawful residence and become an overstayer.

[agnesleifi]

So best to wait and see if it arrives on time then?

[Casa]

Yes

[agnesleifi]

Hopefully it will come soon as it took 8 weeks the last time fingers crossed

[agnesleifi]

Passport came back yesterday and biometrics card to follow so glad it's here took 8 weeks and 3 days

[Casa]

Really pleased for you. Thanks for letting us know.

That is awesome. Talk about great timing.

Hope everything works out perfectly in Jamaica
