Application submitted online: 13 Nov 2023
Biometrics appointment: Saturday 09 Dec 2023 (Greenwich – paid)
Additional information required: 12 Feb 2024 11am - Request for further Cohabitation support. Reason being I had a gap of >5 months between some of the cohab support across the 30 months, which is a no-no. Sent 13 Feb but no acknowledgement received. I sent a chaser on 19 Feb 4pm, response from them on 21 Feb 1pm - turns out it was too big for them to receive. FYI all emails need to be <20MB so separate any large documents!! Resent on 21 Feb 4pm in multiple emails.

I just really want to thank all the moderators and everyone who posted their timelines! It gave me some indication on when to expect a reply!

It seems like for the past few months, it takes about 3 months to get a response from the date the application was submitted, not from the biometrics appointment.

Applying a month earlier as was suggested on another thread has helped me get the visa a bit earlier!

Thanks again!
