For those of u looking to get visas from Turkey to the UK thought I'd start a timeline for u all as I would have appreciated this when waiting for my husbands spouse visa!!!!note also that first application was turned down!!
Applied Istanbul 24/11/2014
Visa refused English language certificate invalid 14/1/2015
Reapplied 31/3/2015 and biometrics taken in Istanbul
Confirmed receipt by visa office 1/4/2015
Decision e mail received 28/5/2015 along with docs to be collected e mail
A point of note re settlement visas in order that they can track your use of visa the letter confirming decision generally has a reference no on it if u have been granted the visa and no reference no if u haven't!!!so u can predict wether u have your visa or not from the letter before u collect your documents!!!
Found this information on one of the university websites in the UK and can tell u that my experience bears this out!!!!
Good luck to everyone xxxx
