Non-priority Spousal Visa Timeline

And finally... on day 138 the decision made email has arrived!

Fantastic!  . Fingers crossed for you Neish!

And finally... on day 138 the decision made email has arrived!

Wow. Just wow. And there's me feeling miserable on 80 days.

Congrats and Good luck!

And finally... on day 138 the decision made email has arrived!

By Monday I will know for sure if its a happy or sad ending but for now I am just so happy that it has all come to an end.

The wait has been torturous but for those still going through it, I honestly believe that all you can do is wait. Calling and emailing I have learned are just a waste of time and money. Stay informed but don't drive yourself crazy reading every detail and obsessing over every word... it is already in their hands and possibly not much you can do to influence them at that point. I personally have stayed off the forums for a little while and stopped stalking my emails ... but I guess that all came with time, after so long I either chilled or lose my mind. 
Hopefully no one's wait will become as long as mine and like j4v3d said... they will hopefully put a rush on it for the holidays.

Finally!!!!  Please let it be an approval after all this time!

Thank you guys. I pray that all will be well!

Movilla... you have all rights to feel miserable. I just really hope that you don't have to wait for too much longer.

Good luck Neish! I really really really hope there's a visa ready & waiting for you after this nightmare. Hope you are well? Good to see you on here again.

Excellent!! (applause)  ;0)

Hi everyone, just wanted to check in 😊 I've been happily in the Uk for a month now and am in the thick of wedding planning (we're sending save the dates tgis weekend for a june wedding!!!) and job hunting!

I was wondering (and I know it's probably been posted a hundred times) how many days out of five years can I be out of the country and still qualify for ILR? I'm fairly certain it can't be more than 6 months in 2 years, but not certain enough to bet on it haha

There is no set time for ILR. For citizenship there is though.

https://www.gov.uk/becoming-a-british-citizen
spent no more than 450 days outside the UK during those 5 years
spent no more than 90 days outside the UK in the last 12 months

That only applies if you are NOT married to a UK citizen at the time of applying for citizenship.

If you ARE married to a UK citizen, you need this link: https://www.gov.uk/becoming-a-british-citizen/if-your-spouse-is-a-british-citizen

And the requirement is:

- lived in the UK for at least the 3 years before your application is received
- spent no more than 270 days outside the UK during those 3 years
- spent no more than 90 days outside the UK in the last 12 months
