We were told by the embassy that the processing time would be 3 weeks. That was this time last year, and we had to make an appointment for the interview, which we did. A week after the appointment had been made, and probably within 1-2 days of them receiving the application they called to say no need for an interview. 3 weeks later we were refused.
6 months passed by, but eventually on 30th April a visa arrived. So from the time from when we cantacted the embassy (July 14th) to my fiancee landing in the UK (5th May) I worked out at 11 months, or 295 days, or 7080 hours, or 424800 minutes or 25488000 seconds. That is a very long time (especially if like Keith you count sheep to pass the time - dare I say he could have counted all the sheep in Wales in that time), but I know a guy whose application took 5 years and a high court battle to get his wife here.
So whats the record for the longest time anyone ?
