It looks like Home Office takes their time and uses all of the 6 month period required. So I'll be lucky to get mine by next Easter (01/04/2018), otherwise I may have to wait till mid-April 2018. Fingers-crossed!

Just some background info: I'm a Canadian citizen with a valid Tier 2 until June 2020, my husband is Austrian. He had his QP Registration Certificate already as of May 2017. We got married on September 5th 2017 in the UK, our marriage notification time was only 28 days, and when we submitted the application, the only proof of our relationship I added was the marriage certificate.


AMAZING NEWS!
