I RECEIVED THIS EMAIL FROM THEM YESTERDAY, I GOT MY SUPPORTING DOCS 9 DAYS AFTER SENDING THEM ON THE 27th JULY.

Dear XXXXXXXX XX,

Regarding Visa Application: XXXXXXX
For: XXXXXXXX

Your online application has been received at the UK Decision Making Centre. Your application is currently being prepared for consideration by an Entry Clearance Officer.

If you have made a Settlement application (except for applications lodged in USA and Canada): you must ensure that your UK sponsor has sent all relevant supporting documentation to the UK Decision Making Centre in Sheffield. The documents should be arranged in this order: application form and relevant Appendix* (See below); English language evidence; relationship documents; maintenance documents; accommodation documents. If documents are not received a decision will be taken on the basis on the information that has been provided.

If you have already had your supporting documents scanned in at the Visa Application Centre, or if you have already sent them in to us, please ignore the request for documents.

Please note that UKVI aims to complete all Visit Visa applications within 15 working days and all Settlement Visa applications within 12 weeks of the application date. If it is not possible to complete your application within this timeframe a member of our team will contact you to explain why.

If you have paid for Priority Service, your application will be placed in front of the queue and assessed ahead of other non-priority visa applications others but may still take 12 weeks to conclude if we require further time to consider the application. As indicated in the terms of service, the amount paid for the priority service, as well as the visa fees, is not refundable if the visa application is refused or if the decision is delayed.

We regret that we are unable to respond to enquiries asking about the status of any application. Any status enquiry should be made to the international enquiry service, details of which are on the GOV.UK website. Staff at Embassies, visa processing centres and visa application centres cannot assist with visa enquiries. You may also wish to view the current processing times for applications made in your country.

A further email will be sent to you to confirm when your application has been assessed and dispatched. If your application was made in a Visa Application Centre, the staff there will contact you when your documents are ready – please do not attend the Centre until you are requested to do so.

Please note that you are advised not to purchase flight tickets until you have secured a visa for travel to the UK.

Hey did anyone use the savings route, i personally believe thats why it takes longer for a decision to be made

[Gujarkhan]

I have been waiting for over 5 months / 108 working days now. Biometrics done on 20th March! At my wits end really. Sheffield emailed 3 weeks ago saying they expedited it but still nothing. MP wont get involved till 6 months pass.

[Edwardo]

@anisha. Yes, we used the savings route which we thought would be the easiest. Clear evidence of the money needed, all they would do is check marriage papers and my wife's record, right?

On day 108 now.....

[San111]

I had involved mp was enquired twice regarding employemnet and Alhamdulillah last week we got the visa; decision was made and next day my husband was told to collect passport

I am over the moon for you everyday I came on here to check for your update the wait is over. Congratulations

Dear Miyash
plz when u get a response plz plz update us...

[Londoner007]

Do not try to predict how long it will take by looking at other cases - each case is different and no one can tell you how and when UKVI will process your application.

All you can do is make loads of duas and wait. InshaAllah you all get a positive decision very soon.

Hi ,

[Londoner007]

You email or call UKVI and specifically ask them to escalate your query. You will need to give a reason for escalation.

Hi Gunner, did you get a reply ?

Yes. The reply didnt say anything. Subject line says enquiry resolved. They basically charged me £5 for nothing.

Yh its been 5 months since interview...they called me n employer on same day...but its been 8 months since i applied a spouse visa for my husband...we submitted papers here n my husband did biometrics in mirpur...each case is different so the time limit will vary but sometimes if u have been refused before...that maybe reason for delay
