Still waiting for a decision.....

[BritishCit]

Same. Still nothing

Usually people start getting calls and interviews around week 5 but some reason even my employers they didnt get nothing. In shaa Allah we will get somethin lets not lose hope. Im jut thinking if they go on an break until the 2nd does that mean that 2 weeks doesnt count?

Yes. I thought the same, as I've read people have been getting calls during 4 or 5 week. I've had nothing. And in regards to the break i believe its the bank holidays which r not counted. This frustrates me even more. The wait is taking over my life

Trust meee . Whom did you apply for? And when did they go to their biometric?

I've applied for my husband. Biometrics was 23rd oct. Online application was 7th oct

Praise God, I am very happy, we have almost the same timeline my wife is Colombian. I fell short with my income salary but I have three savings pensions that I can use and access them with this I have more than the threshold necessary to bring my stepdaughter to my wife, on the 50th since Biometrics I received an email requesting to pass my savings to an account to be able to access them at any time, they gave us 10 days, everything requested was sent through my lawyer, but to date we have no news.

Waiting on God that we can all be with our families before the end of the month

Update:
My employer was called today, lasted around 25 minutes. Asked a hell of a lot of questions.
Around 5 minz later they rang myself. Called lasted around 16 minutes. At the end i asked the woman on the phone how long would i wait now to hear. She said she could give a time but the employment part is the last part of the application. This wait has taken over my life now.

Also how many employers do you have sis?? And did u apply for your husband on behalf of him coz on the application it asks if ur the person applying or behalf of tge applicant. I chose the option as my husband is applying by himself. How about you? Hopefully it wont take too long now atleast the interview part is done.

They asked my employer questions such as what my role is, what duties, how the job role was advertised, was their an interview. Salary, hours, name of staff, number of staff, what the organisation is about, the companies house number, full address, how salary is paid, when it is paid, if i am at work today. If i was at work yesterday. If im working on monday.
They asked all of the above to me aswell as, what the building looks like , any shops nearby? Colour of the walls, what my duties are, how many floors, who i report to each day, why i was suitable for the job, how i applied, what the interview process was, who the directors are.
Blew my bloody mind!!!!
In Sha Allah it goes well for all of us.

Best regards,
We are still waiting for an answer,

Online application: July 31, 2019
Biometrics: August 16, 2019
Email received confirming arrival of documents and passport: August 20, 2019
Email received requesting a letter requesting that you provide access details to the pension accounts: October 31, 2019

To date waiting!

Upgrade: Yesterday, December 13, my lawyer calls me with the news that we have visas. For the honor of God. After 81 business days Colombian calendar. God allow this blessing to all who wait in this forum.

I also take the opportunity to thank the forum, my wife and I followed them every day and learned a lot on this site, it also helped us to know that we were hopeful and we were not the only ones going through the same situation.
God bless you all...
