Still waiting for a decision.....

[Heythereitsme]

Thanks i have sent the document by email today.

Any idea how long would it take for them to make decision after receiving this document?

From lurking around on forums, it seems like once they ask you for a document .. you should hear an outcome shortly afterwards

Good luck!

Hello,

Thank you for the dates.

You can chase them as many times as you want anc there's no harm in that.

Your escalation will not be forwarded to Home Office as I understand it but instead, the call centre pretty much supply the information about the application status whatever is made available to them which is usually standard.

Since you submitted your application online, it has been 51 days in total. There are two people on these timelines who used the priority service (this year) and their visa was granted on the 54th and 57th day since they submitted their online applications.

Fari909 submitted the online application on 19th January and visa was granted on 14th March. Took 54 days.
Zing123 submitted the online application on 3rd January and visa was granted on 1st March. Took 57 days.

The above two used the Priority Service.

Other people who used the Priority Service and are still waiting for the visa are Heythereitsme (55 days), Zadkiel (58 days), goodw394 (113 days) and Fancy (121 days). These are total number of days since they submitted their applications online. Maybe some of them haven't updated their timelines.

My history: My previous application was refused. I went to Uk on spouse visa but my domestic violence was refused coz I didn’t had police report. I then met my present partner. We put application on basis on relationship which was refused as we didn’t complete 2 years of living together. Which later on went on appeal. I made inland application but was refused. I made voluntary return as home office asked me to put application from India. They accepted my relationship said it’s genuine and they don’t doubt the relationship or income or accommodation but asked me to apply from India. I came back on 7th January and submitted online application on the same day. Before putting this application we completed 4 years of living together now.
