I got my spousal visa which only took a week to process.
I would like to thank good members of this board who played major role towards this success. Especially John, Vinny, UKAbble and Lesley15.
So thank you everyone.

Last October you posted :-
I am a failed asylum seeker who came to the UK 11 years ago and currently in process of leaving the UK to apply for a re-entry clearance. My wife is a British citizen and we have a 3 years old son.
-: so congratulations that you now have the spouse visa in your passport!
Have a long and happy life in the UK.
John
