Thank goodness, some progress! How long does it take after this?

I got the same reply on Monday too. Hopefully it shouldn't take long for us after this.

I applied on the 24th June 2014, so hopefully it shouldn't take long after this, I hope to hear within the next month! :)

My wife applied on 15th september 2014 and she received initially a message that further checks were being done and then 2 weeks ago she received the same message as above that her application is in progress. to be honest cant really tell how long it will take, could be weeks or months.

I'm hoping sometime in december :) If they have started looking at my wife's application two weeks ago, then I am hoping for a response soon!

UKVI have processed the majority of applications up to May. And now May applicants are starting to hear so only May and June left and then that will be all possible applications that were on hold processed.

Congratulations to all those who are getting visa's!

Maha15 - which city was the application made?

from reading the posts it looks like Mirpur/Islamabad are processing May applications whilst Lahore are still lagging behind in February. in-sha-Allah we will all hear positive news soon.

Prayforus- Have you received any news yet?

akhan4747- thats a pretty standard response which i have been getting for nearly 2 months!

Ket1 wrote:guys i was wondering if anyone can help
ino its stil a long way away for me but what are the requirements for your spouse appying for further leave to remain
do thy need to show a bill in their name? also hu needs to show they are earning 18,600, the sponsor or applicant?
also how long do you need to show all this evidence for , since they arrived in th uk or just 6 months prior to applyin?
This is what i read about requirements on extension of spouse visa.
a) income of £18600 spouse/partner or applicant or both joint.
b) evidence to show applicant and spouse been living together since the arrival date of applicant's entry to UK.
The example shown were 6 pieces of evidence each showing applicant and partners name jointly. If joint names were not present than 6 evidence for each (6 for applicant and 6 for partner totalling 12). Acceptable evidences are bank statements, council bill, electric, gas, water, hmrc letter, other letters from any government body i.e dvla, letter from nhs. Evidences must evenly be spread to cover the period from entry to application time and must correctly include the name of applicant or their partner and address. A same piece of evidence cannot be counted twice i.e water bill on applicant name for certain period than changed onto partner's name will not be acceptable.
Thanks so much
oh god surely u cannot show 6 bills each? there are not that many! i understand bank letter etc but there cannot possibly be 5 bills each?
