November Timeline

thinking after thanksgiving, and yours holandlou?

Congrats to everyone who has finally received their visas:D!

Just a friendly reminder for people with spousal visas not to book any flights that travel through Dublin, Ireland (or any other Republic of Ireland airport). They are usually the cheapest flights, but as there are no immigration controls between Ireland and the UK, your visa will not be stamped... and without that stamp you may not be able to pick up your BRP card.

Thank you! Good to know. Just booked my flight and I'm leaving tomorrow night! Woohoo! Does my husband need to come with me when I pick up my BRP or can I do that on my own?

Same thing!!!

Grace how are you getting most of your things there? Suitcases or did you mail anything?

2 suitcases and a heavy backpack. But my husband is here so I'm cheating and putting some of my things in his suitcase too I think buying an extra suitcase (my airline charged $50) is cheaper than mailing stuff. A friend of mine mailed me popcorn in the UK and 4 tiny bags cost her $30!

Hi guys,

What kind of proof of relationship did you include apart from marriage certificate, photographs, a couple of emails etc ?

Since mines fiancé no marriage certificate but we sent photos hotel flight stays ticket receipts from events we went to together Skype whatsapp email screenshots when he sent me flowers his cards and receipts and birthday card I got him receipts of times we went out to eat together we put a lot his stamped passport copy of entry to see me

Thanks, that sounds good enough to me:)
Just worried as i think we didnt include skype/watsapp screenshots, just included some emails, letters, cards photos, wedding certificate, airbnb stay print, a hand written letter from him confirming my relationship with him

We both wrote letters I wrote an applicant one and he wrote a sponsor one and I forgot we also sent a wedding save the date we're using and also our paid for date and receipt for Coventry register to get married! Fingers crossed did you get your confirmation email yet?

I feel hand written stuff looks better as a proof so you are good:)
yes got it about 2 hours back, so hopefully they will process by mid next week.
Similar to yours i believe

Hello all! Just posting my timeline!

31 October - online visa application (spouse) with Priority Service
3 November - Biometrics appointment
3 November - shipped to Sheffield vis UPS
8 November - Application received email
9 November - Decision has been made email
11 November - Received passport with visa sticker

We chose 20 December as our move date and my visa was stamped 23 Dec - 22 Jan. We are moving our dog too and weren't made aware by the pet relocation company that they have "no travel" dates from 21 Dec to 9 Jan, so we aren't actually traveling until 12 January. We're a bit sad to not be there for Christmas, but this gives us a bit more time to get things sold and settled here. We can't complain because we're just too overjoyed that we finally finished this process!!!

Congrats that was so fast!

I too am using a pet transport! Which company are you using and where are you flying out of?

Congrats that was so fast!

Thank you!! It was so much quicker than we expected! We had prepared ourselves for a much longer wait.

I too am using a pet transport! Which company are you using and where are you flying out of?

Pet Relocation (based in Texas). We're flying from Kansas City.

Hey Guys,

Just checking if the spouse in uk has a tier 2 visa then which form is applicable?
