I think the H.O should be able to provide you with an update.lionelblak wrote:Hi All,
This is my first post, so please bear with me. I'm a UK citizen and my wife is from Trinidad and Tobago, although she has lived in England for a number of years. We were married at the end of October just before the expiry of her existing visa and she submitted her application for the Marriage Visa online and paid the appropriate fee around the middle of November. When she attended the embassy in Port-of-Spain to submit the supporting documents and biometrics, she was told that the whole application would be sent to be processed in New York.
The official also led her to understand that she would be contacted by email from New York on them receiving the application and that she would be contacted again when they begun to process it and then if any further information was required.
That was nearly eight weeks ago. We've not received the promised email and nobody seems to be willing or able to tell us even whether New York have received the documents. Contacting World Bridge via their website is useless - all that produces is what appears to be an automated reply to the effect that they cannot answer queries about individual applications. Judging by the experiences of others, calling them would be a waste of money. The embassy staff themselves are unable to shed any light on the situation at all.
We are unable to plan anything as our lives are on hold with absolutely no inidication of if/when we might hear from them.
Please could someone tell us from their experience whether it's normal to receive an email when New York receives the application? We are afraid that the application has somehow become "lost" and if that is so, we would like to take steps to get it "found" before too much more time passes.
Thanks in advance of your help!
Hi chesstar87, the only way of contacting NY is by email via World Bridge (drawbridge?) and within 10 minutes we get an automated reply to the effect that they don't answer queries about individual applications.chesstar87 wrote:8 week is a long time for no reply, maybe you should try to get in contact with the new york office and check if they can confirm recieving your application.
