Please don't despair! my husband and i have been waiting with trepidation since January. Not all applications are approved quickly, most take over 4 months. We emailed the HomeOffice 4 times for updates and finally got the 21 days email on Monday before our approval arrived today. God is faithful and your day will come. Stay strong. We were approved despite challenging circumstances. please declare your PCNs, driving convictions etc. Its better to be honest and apologise than for them to deem you dishonest!

My case was not a straight forward one. I had 3 ccj and was once an illegal immigrant for years but after getting refugee status I didn’t commit an immigration offences. I was honest in my application. Good luck everyone and God bless
