Thank you so much for making a timeline!! It seems like there is no pattern. Its all random. People applying later than others getting their visas earlier, and vice versa 🤷

Yeah, February seems to have been an awful month for most of us =/

I'm thinking about going to my MP next week to complain about it. I know the service standard is 12 weeks, but its still appalling having to put your life on hold for that length of time (or longer). Even 6 weeks which I'm approaching now is way too long - I just feel I want to make it clear that I'm really unhappy with this process and hopefully see what the Home Office says.

I was thinking the same thing....  My lawyer wrote to the Home Office yesterday.  Some days you just want to feel like there is something you can do...

Day 47 and day 31 since the ‘not straightforward’ email. From doing our own ‘legwork’ we know that what we believe could be the possible reasons...checking my military service...her custody paperwork and possible criminal record check that not one of them has been approached by UKVI in any form. So again I ask myself what have they been doing with the application the last 6 weeks?!

Hello everyone,

I applied second time today (from France). The application experience was atrocious and scary.

I asked if I could send my documents directly to Sheffield, they rejected me. Only scanning procedure from France.

The guy who was scanning my documents was absolutely unprofessional. He didn’t want to scan Appendix 2, and only that I insisted firmly made him to do that. He made the rest of my documents in absolute mess.

Just want to cry now...
