I had a call from HO and at the same time my employer on the 20th of June and they made the decisions on 28th of June. within 5 working days as your's is Priority I believe you will hear something very soon, Insha'allah.

Wslaam gives me good hopes
Insha Allah keep me in your duas x
Did u collect passport on 29th of june then?

I will and no the Passport was collected on 1st of July the day they send text msg, because In Bangladesh VFS office is closed on Fridays and Saturdays. The letter they send with Passport dated 28th of June, also I called UKVI contact centre on 28th of June they told me a decisions has been made need to wait for instructions from VFS office when to collect passport.

Oh ok. Pray for me too

Isit true that once employent check with sponser and employer is done decision will be made

I dont think this is true bcoz they called me n my employer in march n they still dont av a decision on our case

Was yours priorty

No it wasn't....was yours? If its priority and they have contacted u n the employer then the decision should be made fairly quick bcoz u pay 4 quick service..

Hi Guys,

I wanted to check if there's anyone here who apply for the settlement visa without priority? Would like to know the timeline of how long it normally takes for everything to complete? I am currently on the 43rd working day now.. No emails, contacts nothing. The last email we got was to say applications are being prepared for entry clearance officer and also received email to pay for daughter's IHS.

I applied without priority on 9th May 2018 and I received an email on the 13th of june stating application being prepared for eco and then on the 20th of June they contacted me about my employment and my employer the next day. So since then its nearly 1 month now and I haven't heard anything and I am on 48th working day today and praying dearly I hear from them end of this month.

I do know someone through a friend that got their visa after 62 working days recently and they too did non priority so I am really really hopefull as my wife keeps asking everyday when she be able to join me.

Yes, I got all the documents back on June 27th. Funny as they returned everything including photocopies I made for them.. I was in the assumption that a decision would be made soon after they sent it back but I guess not.

Yh it is such a stressfull period being away from loved ones and the system doesn't make it easier to relieve stress. My 12 weeks end on the 1st August 2018 and have fingers crossed seeing as they have already contacted me about my employment a month ago that they would take a decision. I am just dreading that they don't send me the not straightforward email and delay the whole process.

I'm did non priority and it's been 119 working days applied in January and still no update don't know why it is taking so long I got my docs back on the 2nd month

[Jordan30296]

Hi guys,

I applied for an excercising access rights to child visa so that I can settle in the U.K. to help take care of my 4 month old child and meet her in person for the first time. I have a bad U.K. immigration history from when I use to visit the U.K. a few years back and even traveled to the U.K. via Dublin when I was refused entry which made me an illegal entrant.

Paid Priority
Biometrics sent - June 20th.
Acknowledgement email from UKVA - June 27th.
Non Straightforward email - June 29th

All I am asking guys is to keep me in your prayers and I will do the same. I know the wait is stressful but there is really nothing we can do but keep our eyes and ears open for an email notification from UKVA. At least we got the application sent out for the wait instead of waiting to even send it out. My child is growing every single day and I have to be strong for her. You have to be strong for your loved ones as well. I am hoping and praying that I will get approved and if I do get approved sooner than later then hopefully this should give you guys some hope that even someone with a bad immigration history got approved. You all are in my prayers!

Hi there
Today is my day 115
I dont know what they doing
They told my Mp is been sent for dicision on 15/6/18
Still nothing
Pray for me
Ichallah we all get good news soon

[Khayrulewara]

Hi,

I am new to this so I am not sure if I have posted in the right place, apologies if I have not.

Timeline:

My husband and I made an application for him to join me in the UK
Application made on 28 January 2018
Biometrics - 6 February 2018
UKVI returned our supporting documents on 9 March 2018
Not straight forward email received on 27 April 2018

As you can see we have now waited 107 working days since the date of the biometrics. We have escalated the case 3 times - to which UKVI only respond by saying it is still being assessed. My MP also got involved and when UKVI got back to him they just said we have to wait as the case is complex. They have not contacted us asking for additional documents, nor have they contacted my managers. Our case is very simple and so I am not sure what is complex about it. Only thing that is making us very nervous and stressed is that my husband's visa in Australia expires in September 2018 and his passport expires in October 2018. We have informed UKVI of this multiple times but they really don't care. It doesn't really make sense because he wouldn't be able to travel with an expired passport anyway and it takes 3 months to renew his passport from Australia...

Has anyone waited this long yet? What is the maximum time UKVI can take to make a decision? We have lost hope and are now thinking to withdraw the application and for me to go to Australia then maybe apply to the UK again from there. Which I really don't want to do! Ah!

Thanks

Yes I'm in same boat as u I applied end of Jan been 119 working days my husband passport is going to expire in Sept which is not far now and they won't give me no update and so reply I have contacted local mp but they say it take at least 6 weeks for them to reply to him. All we have to do is wait I guess really upsets me alot
