Application consideration email

[Tasneempitha]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for sharing your experiences (frustrations)! It sounds like you guys who applied in December are having a really tough time. I can't bare to imagine that it could be up to six months.

Has there been any further confirmation that it could be this long?

Like I'm sure is the same as many of you. We are asking for an extra month's rent repeatedly and now having issues with work and money.

I'm English, living in Colombia with my Colombian partner and awaiting the visa.
On WD50 so expecting the email next week confirming the delay. Biometrics were on Feb 11th.

I'll update you with any communication.
It would be nice to hear if any spouse visas are still being approved??

Hi, No they haven't provided any sort of information regarding how much longer it will take. No time frame at all. I've read few comments on Facebook that people shared through their MPs that it could take upto 6 months. But there are people waiting for more than 6 months! I cannot emphasise enough how unfair the whole system is. Some cases aren't even being looked at due to system backlog. Hoping the best for everyone! I hope you get yours on time.

And yes, recently some of the applicants from Facebook has got their decision. December applicants yeah

Can you share the fb page link?

Don't ask for this, as per the forum rules, it is not allowed and will be removed.

Are you saying December applicants got a decision from that Facebook group?

[dellledd911]

Just saw a post on a fb group where the person got her spouse visa (priority) in 30 working days after applying in March.

[mubs1992]

I saw a post on fb where someone got email for passport collection for her spouse visa bio date was 12 Dec (standard)

[Tasneempitha]

So does that mean... That we might get ours in a few weeks. Tbh this waiting game is frustrating me so much. It's been 19 weeks now.

Yess. I saw the post on fb group. People are getting their decisions. Hope we all get our positive decisions in this blessed month....IN SHA ALLAH

Thank you for contacting UK Visas and Immigration International Contact Centre.

With regards to your enquiry about the status of your application, I can confirm that your application is being considered and is currently awaiting a decision. We understand how frustrating these delays are and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you.

Standard UK visitor visas are currently taking longer than usual to be processed due to high global demand. You should bear this in mind when making travel arrangements. UKVI are working hard to process applications as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience.

You will be contacted by the Visa Application Centre (VAC) when your passport is ready for collection. Do not attend the VAC until you have been invited to do so.

You are not required to book any travel before you apply or before a decision is made on your application. You’ll only be refunded if we have not started processing your application.

We strongly recommend that you do not buy a non-refundable, non-flexible ticket to the UK, until your visa application has been approved and you have received your documents.
