Non-priority Spousal Visa Timeline

Still nothing ... now 16 weeks since receipt email ... called call centre again and they said all they can do is escalate my case again, but despite last escalation stating that someone should contact me within 15 working days, it's about 19 working days now and nobody has contacted me ... checked tracking number on UPS, no changes since Feb, checked Visa4UK page and actually now status says "In Active" ... guessing because my expected date of travel was June 20? Good thing I saved the application PDF because I can't open it on the Visa4UK page anymore ... Leaving for NYC in about 10 days to take the exam, was hoping passport would be back by now at least, so we could just fly to France after right after, but nope, looks like we have to either fly back to Texas WITH both our dogs only to have to fly back to NYC again once my passport arrives, or just pay to stay in NYC until my passport arrives *siiiigh* this is awful ... 40 days left until our wedding ceremony in England, so much wedding preparation left to do, poor mum-in-law has had to do everything ... may end up missing the tastings and whatnot ... this is torturous ... emailed the MP, wrote a complaint (no contact at all in 16 weeks?) ... sorry to keep whining here everybody ... thankful for everyone here.

Congratulations to everyone who received happy news back~~

I hope your MP can get a status update from UKVI. The call center is useless, anything they tell you is mostly made up to make you happy, I'd focus on MP contacts if you can. Unfortunately all you can do is wait, and hope they finally get back to you/your MP soon!

My husbands visa got APPROVED! 19/06-19/07. We are so happy, after more than two years apart and sending 2 days together since becoming husband and wife, long distance is all over for us. I’d just like to extend a huge thanks to everyone on here, although I found you after I’d applied you still helped to keep us both sane during the long three months wait. Best wishes and thoughts to those still waiting.

Congratulations r_hug11!!! 

I’m on business day 69!!!! I feel like I’ve lost all hope. At this point I really just want my passport back so we can move on and reapply. I still have a tiny bit of hope out there that maybe they will approve but not much. I so wish that UKVI would communicate what they are doing. At least then it wouldn’t just feel like nothing is happening. 😫

There is always hope! Hugs Cali!

Thank you! This would be so much easier to deal with if it was just me waiting. Annoying but doable. It’s so much more heart wrenching with a baby involved. Chin up, we’ll continue counting down our calendar. Here’s to hoping next week we hear something positive!

Absolutely! Pulling for you!

The lack of transparency is awful.

Decision made email received! I’m hoping for the best but prepared for the worst. I’m just so happy that either way the wait of the unknown decision is finally coming to an end.

Have all my fingers and toes crossed for you.  Please do update us!
