UK Settlement Family Visa for my partner as follows:

Type: Priority Spouse Visa (reason for priority visa, ideally would like my partner in the UK during the summer school break - or at least for some of it, otherwise the cost for a priority application is a little steep to be fair, given the already high costs for the Visa Fee & IHS & use of Mirpur Location etc - but fingers crossed InShaAllah).
Employment: Employed full time with same employer since 2015 - so Category A submission
Online Application Submitted: 9th June 2023
Documents - Self uploaded onto VFS: 14th June 2023
Biometrics Appointment: Mirpur, Azad Kashmir 16th June 2023
Email notification from VFS Global that application has been forwarded to UK for Processing: 16th June 2023
Email notification from ECO that application is being considered: 23rd June 2023
Decision Email from UKVI: 30th June 2023 - Visa Granted Elhamdulillah - 10 Working Days
VFS Passport received a notification: N/A
Passport Collection Email: 5th July 2023
Passport Collection Call: N/A
Passport Collected: 6th July 2023
Decision: Visa Approved but Vingette shows the earliest possible entry date to UK is 23 August 2023 which has turned out to be disappointing but Alhamdulillah Visa is Approved - good luck to everyone.
