Does anyone have any experience of applying successfully for this visa? Or unsuccessfully perhaps? I'm wondering, standard procedure wise, are any checks actually made in terms of calling places of employment? I am in a total connundrum right now. I have no holiday time left in work, the visa application we submitted 2 months ago has been delayed for an indefinite period as they have said we need to be patient as it can take 'at least' 3 months but with no definitive date for collection. I am considering a visit to my husband, The problem being this would mean having to quit my job as simply I cannot take the time off. The problem is if this will put my application in jeopardy as I am then without employment and there is the eternal thought of 'what if' they suddenly decide to call my place of work to see if I am indeed permanently employed. Generally, is this valid? Or do they go on the strength of submitted documents only e.g. wage slips etc? The state of not knowing is irritating as it could be 'a minimum' of one more month but then a maximum of 2 or more. Ridiculous.
