hi forum. i am close to applying for wifes spouse visa and i have appointment at VFS Ahmedabad (India) to submit the application. because the appointment at vfs is on 20th Jan, will it be a problem that i have sent payslips and bank statements for december and may not be able to get latest statements for january out in time? will they cause problems because i wont have jan finance details because of timing? also my wife has put in the application that she is "supported by others" and by that i mean her parents, so will we need to include statements of her parents bank account also?

would it be ok that we have statements up to december 31 ? the appointment to submit is on jan 31 and i wont have january statement by that time

Yes he asked me questions bout our relationship. He also said "if I refuse you his visa what will you do" I started crying there and then and I said I will not give up till he's here with me :(

I really hope they understand my position and that I can't live without my husband :(

What date do u fly out??

Hey guys,

Was wondering if anyone could help me.. I attended my husbands appeal hearing on the 30th jan which was on Monday just gone and now I'm feeling so nervous about the result! I rang the tribunal service today and gave her the case the case number. She stated that the judge has not made a decision yet and it says on her system "decision reserved" now I feel even more nervous!! I know it's still early but does anyone have any idea what this might mean?? I'm in such a state at the moment as I dont know what the next stage will be if they refuse us again :(

Thanks to everybody xx

Chimpee :(

congrats mtech
hey chimpee decision reserved only means that the decision has not been made by the judge, so you need to wait for upto 10 days ...and stay positive :)

2)If there is something I can do to expedite the process.

....N .....
Most importantly,my return flight which is on 21st of Feb seemingly is going to be missed.
Though thats not a problem,my concern is If I dont return by Feb to Uk,that might make my single holiday of more than 90 days.So I want to know if that is going to affect either my this application/future visa procedings??

:?: :?: :?: :?

Hi all,

just to post that my wife has submitted her spouse visa application at VFS Ahmedabad, India.

Just going by peoples responses, would be fair to expect a response in 1-2 months? Does the quality of the application make a difference or does it not really matter at all?

Thanks and please wish us luck!
