Got exact same email as u. My application was submitted day after u. Looked on their website to see processing time. It's says 97% application will receive decision within 90 days. So looks like they way behind.
Long wait indeed

True though it's fact that not much April's have been processed yet which by now they should have been well into the 2nd week ...
Its either they have a massive workload or they're pace has gone below snail pace :(
Just be patient and inshallah it will pay off my second application nearly took 6 months because there was a lot of backlog so yh maybe they do have a lot to get through inshallah hope everyone gets good news in this blessed month

@ Stillwaiting what category have you applied under?

If second time it was just an statement why have you not appealed?

Correct me if I am wrong they scrutinized bcoz u applied under savings?

I pray you get the visa this time round in sha Allah

@sajj79

First time I applied cat a and d...I was refused because my savings were too less... I wasn't very aware of the whole rules etc so left it to the lawyer and it didn't work out

2nd time I applied under cat a and d again..this time I was refused because of a bank statement I should have submitted a more recent one than the oldest one so I have appealed and appeal has been acknowledged so just waiting for review date now inshallah..I have changed lawyers too this one is much more trust worthy and knows what his doing and he is very confident it will be turned over as it is just a tiny error... Inshallah Allah knows best

I was joking, I was talking about biometrics card, you only get that if you are having to pay £600 NHS surcharges

Hi,

Is there a spouse visa priority service for Pakistan, and how much of an extra charge is there?

Also has anyone submitted a spouse visa application with the new NHS surcharge requirment?

Thank U

There's no priority service for settlement visas. It's only for visit visas. And yes, if you applied after 6th April then you can't apply without the nhs surcharge
