@Khan
Its just really silly. I worked out the time scale, and if we go according to government post. immigration saw the appeal and processed it all (ECM looked at it thoroughly and sent it back) in either (1 day) or ( 7 Days). Now im trying to call tribunal and they have an emergency so they are not taking calls.
Application and biometrics submitted - 27August 2014

do you how long does it take for the appeal bundle to reach embassy or ECM.Because the normal international post by the tribunal can take upto 6 weeks to reach the appellants(told by tribunal).

Would you say escalating would make a difference?

Ask your MP to call on your behalf to ask about an update on your wifes visa.
Have you been granted your spouse visa yet?
hi yeah my wife got her visa in dec 14... we submitted her passport in and we still awaiting a call so she can collect....
