Priority Spouse Visa FALL Timeline (Oct-Dec)

That's amazing! When did you apply? I'm hoping we get the same results.

My husband had his biometrics appointment in Iowa on May 30. Sheffield Received his docs June 1 and my hubby received his visa in hand on 27th July!

Some employers report incorrect information to HMRC and pocket the difference.  EXTREMELY rare.  But does happen.  Tax evasion is older than dirt!

MP's used to be able to help, but they usually get the runaround just like us these days.  Unfortunately too many people took the "contact MP" route for UKVI to care anymore. 

That happens on the welfare forums too if they want something to be quicker. It just seems to be a standard letter that MPs send with these cases, which are ignored as that doesn't mean they jump the queue.

Just wondering what you said when you contacted the MP? I might have my husband get in touch with our MP

It won't make any difference, you will still be in the queue.

This.  Unless you are past 60 business days, they won’t do anything.  And if you are past 60 business days, you’ll be told you’ll get your decision when you get your decision.   

Alright, business day wrapped up. Anyone get an approval or is Steve still on vacation?

if it goes past October I'm going to miss my wedding that we've been planning the last year and a half....It's planned for 13 October. I applied in June. Paid priority thinking "Surely I'll get this visa with plenty of time to spare" Hoping I am still right about that!!

We married here(Louisiana) in June, but our big wedding/celebration is planned for October in England. My family got their passports and all of that...and I'm just here freaking out about the wedding lol

 But I got a call here in America today from my husband's MP office. They said they contacted UKVI and were told it would be 20 BD until someone got back to them with an update re my application.

Hopefully it'll all go as planned but just in case, do you have insurance on the wedding? They really do not recommend making plans like that until you have the visa in hand because delays and denials can happen. Having a plan B is important when at the whim of a government agency

Unfortunately we had everything booked and planned before we decided to apply for the Spousal Visa. We fully intended on the fiance route. I did some very minor research (before I found this forum) and read online that we needed proof from our venue that we were actually getting married there. So, we went ahead and planned it out. (And regrettably, we knew NOTHING about this visa process at the time so once we set a date we started booking/planning before we knew how complicated this process was. Bad choices, man.)

Then after joining this forum we both realized how much of a mess a fiance visa is, and got legally married here in the USA. Now, we're married and have an entire wedding halfway planned for October. I am a hot mess. There are several meetings and planning sessions I need to be there for around September, so if this visa is delayed I'm screwed. We've already paid for the dress/photographer, venue, etc.

That being said I have a question.....As of now, we aren't doing anything legal in October, we're already married. The registrar is doing a "renewal of the vows" which doesn't require any specific time frame/paperwork or anything like that.

IF my visa is refused and I get my passport back, Can I still travel to the UK, celebrate our wedding and then return home and apply again? That's kind of our back up plan! Since it isn't a legally binding thing anymore, I wouldn't need a "marriage visitor visa" correct? It's literally going to be a big party.

If the visa is approved then all is fine and dandy. We've already been in touch with our venue/reception venue and they're aware that we we already legally tied the knot, we just want a "celebration" type wedding/ceremony in the UK.

That’s quite confusing. Does that mean you definitely won’t get a decision for 20 BD?
