    Experience of application processing time? - visa for kids to come to uk...

    Hi all,

    Does anyone have experience of the time it can take for the entry clearance to be sorted?
    My g/f has just had her annulment granted and also custody of the kids - it has taken 15 months from beginning to end.
    She wants to go and get the application lodged in Manila, we heard the application process takes around two weeks.....is this realistic?

    I don't know what kind of document is available from the lawyer to prove annulment and custody - I read something on here about decree absolute....could someone clarify exactly what is needed please and where it comes from.

    many thanks.

    Thumbs up visa for kids

    dont know about decree business, but my 11 year old stepdaughter has been here in sunny wigan since end of july.

    we waited 3 months and one week for the visa to be granted. and the buggers still charge full wack for the childs visa.

    good luck

    what visa is she applying for, fiancée ?


    this time of year is not as busy, but i think there has been a back log- thats why people have been waiting around 10wks, but within 2wks i doubt very much

    i would guess 6-8 wks, but it could be longer up to 13wks as John said

    Thanks for replies .....
    The visa type will be for her children all under 18, I think it's the dependent of a worker VAF2 form.
    Mrs JMajor, thank you - I will find out about the annulment finality etc.
    Does anyone know how to find the immigration status code? - I emailed the Visa people in Manila for a guide time to the application assuming success - and they asked me for this.

    many thanks...

    Thumbs up settled in

    hello tim365uk

    yes no problem settling in , but we waited over two months before putting her in school so that she could get used to everything.

    loves school , and now just waiting to start receiving the child benefit .

    kids settle quicker than adults so dont worry about it
