Hi all. Just want to give many thanks to all of you who helped me with my settlement application. You have my deepest gratitude.
We're a same-sex couple. Due to the forms not being updated, I had to apply for Civil Partnership Visa even though we had an actual marriage than a civil partnership ceremony. Today I finally received my passport back with the visa attached. It took 16 business days in total from the time they opened my packet to the time they made a decision. So relieved and overjoyed.
Thank you guys again from the bottom of my heart.
