Non-priority Spousal Visa Timeline

Well, yes. I called the number first and then was given an appointment to go to the job center. It was about a week from the time i called to the appointment. I actually found it odd because the interviewer spent the time filling up the form for me when i could have done it faster myself. But then I applied from Edinburgh so maybe they do things differently.

I applied in Swindon's JobCentre Plus (after phoning to apply and being told I had to come in), and it was the same.  I sat at the desk and answered questions so the interviewer could fill them in.  It was ridiculous.  All they really needed me there for was to verify that I looked like my ID and I had the legal right to work in the UK.  I really could've filled out the application ahead of time and just made an appearance to satisfy the identity check.

That’s everyone’s experience.   

It’s a bit random on who has to attend in person and who has the form mailed to them.  It used to be a spouse visa didn’t have to attend in person but that seems to have change  in the past year.

Seems very quiet this week on the decision email front

I was just thinking the same thing. I keep searching flights but then don’t even want to get my hopes up with that bit. 😤

I’m exactly the same! I think we have similar timelines so hopefully we will hear soon

I really hope so, the last 2 weeks have been harder than the first 2 months!! I've been volunteering 12 hours a day at a horse and donkey rescue just to keep my mind off this whole process

Good idea to try and get your mind off of it. It’s so hard not to obsess. I’m pretty much stuck at my parents house in the country with a 6 month old baby. Maybe I should go volunteer at the sheep 🐑 farm! Actually, I think one of these farms does goat yoga. 😂 Good luck! You’re so close.

Oh, I can't think of a better way to pass the time! Enjoy! 

But I hope your wait is over soon! 

Yes!! My application was collected from Sheffield at 15:34. Fingers crossed it's a yes. It's going to be a long weekend I'm afraid 

Today is BD 57

Yeah, I think that they are now requiring spouses to all come in. When I called back in April, they also made me come in (after canceling my appointment twice... that was fun). It took almost a full month after my appointment to get my NiNo, but I have it now
