I'd just be worried that they'd then place it at the back of the priority queue, which would actually add time on to the wait rather than the expect around 15 days days we have to wait non-priority which seems to be the average, if you see what I mean?

For what it's worth I've added you to the priority log May-26 upgraded June-30th in the name of goldenstatecate.  Please advise of any changes or necessary corrections. I really hope you guys get sorted soon. It will happen.

Good luck with it. I hope it speeds things up a bit for you.

We've just decided to swallow the difference (and our regrets for not doing priority in the first place), and wait it out. Five BDs in and it feels like an age to wait....

A lot of it is about expectations. You're being realistic so it should make things a little easier for you. I hope it does anyway.  :)

Keiki's spreadsheet appears to (understandably) stopped being maintained so I thought I'd do this one.  xxxx mbmoffat.

Updated 17th July.  Centralised rolling log.
Please post your timeline - the more who join the better the info for everyone.

Non-Priority Spouse Visa Applications.
Feb 2017
March 2017 Average ? Business Days. March range ? (?applications).
April 2017 Average ? Business Days. April range ? (? applications).

Date received by Sheffield email / Username / Date of Decision Email from Sheffield / Business Days taken for Decision Email.
Feb-27 Cassie.cassie May-9  48BD
Feb-27 Hahewitt May-12      51BD
Feb-27






               
                       


It's not that it hasn't been maintained, just that nothing has happened recently to add...
Not sure what you think is so "understandably" about it either...
Aren't you supposed to be doing the priority timeline?
