Spouse visa

[rahila]

Thanks rahila....did you send it via parcel force or royal mail?

I thought it counts from the date the biometrics has being taken?

Yes that's what I thought as well but not sure
Like I said before, I had a solicitor help me put the file together and send it so I'm not sure. Sorry I can't be of much help with that question hopefully you will hear something soon.

[Alz3eem2002]

That's fine atleast I can see that they are progressing and actually trying to hit the timescale...

Keep us updated...

Hi! Im also in the same boat for spouse visa non-priority.
Im from Philippines and we are still waiting for our documents to be returned which was sent 19 Feb 2018 and an email from ECO 28 Feb confirming that they have received the application. Pls keep me updated too. Many thanks

[rahila]

I put in my application for husband in Feb 2018 as priority visa and still haven't heard anything from them. Anyone know how long it may take? Reading others timelines I've noticed most people have already received replies.

[Alz3eem2002]

What is your timeline?..

My wife biometrics was done on the 22nd February and just received her visa today....

it normally takes 30 working days...Hopefully you should receive an outcome within this week or by the end of this month. They have being quick in processing applications...

In sha Allah I hope it's a good response. Can you not ask them if they have sent the documents back?

[Alz3eem2002]

I am dealingwith an organisation who gets paid thousands of pounds and cant even send an email to confirm receipt..

I was on the Dilemma that they have not received it or it got lost....But after the visa grant I am certain now that they have it.....funny enough I was told we get it after few days or week....

I was about to call/email them last Thursday to find out,, but alhamdulilah I got notified that a decision has being made...

Please update us on your progress and don't forget my wife had her biometrics done on the 22nd February... Yours was on the 27th if I am not mistaken..so you are after me..so it should be this week or next week inshallah where you hear the greaaaaat news....

Just got an email stating the visa application was processed one 11/04/2018

Does that mean they will be in contact for passport collection?

Is there no way to know before if visa has been granted or not?
I'm a bit confused

[CR001]

Is there no way to know before if visa has been granted or not?

No. You will have to wait till passport is collected to find out.
