Hi everyone ❤️
I'm new here wanted to share my spouse visa experience with all of u
I'm the applicant from Tunisia married to British citizen since February 2017
We choose the priority spouse visa
We applied online 26 may 2017
The biometric appointment will be 31 may in two days
The lawyer will send the whole file to Sheffield after mytye biometric appointment and he said it will take minimum two weeks for the result or maybe more
Was stressed about preparing the file because there was tooo much papers to provide for the visa and now stressed again about the result
I hope to share all the may timeline here to support each other
Thanks
Hi Souzane-muz, welcome.
Unfortunately, I think your lawyer was a little optimistic with his estimate.
There is a handy processing time checker on the .gov website which gives times for applications from Tunisia as of February as follows.
Most applications are processed within 90 days.
Number of days to process 5days,10days,15days,30days,60days,90days,120days
% of applications decided 6% 20% 30% 74% 88% 97% 97%
Unfortunately as the year goes on, they slow considerably. (based on experience with applications from the US, it may not be the same for those from Tunisia) but I think even with priority, you'll be looking in terms of months rather than weeks. The stats refer to working days.
Good luck with your application.
