I don’t think the visit visa refusal should have any bearing on the spouse visa application, as long as you stated on the application of any previous applications.

From reading previous posts, the usual waiting time is 10 to 12 weeks and there has also been shutdown for Christmas.

In the case of adam&chryss they stated in their post that is was issued early due to her pregnancy. As for bornatbirth, I guess he was just lucky.

Good luck and remember all here in this forum wish you all the best.
Good morning Mark,

Thanks for your post.

I think your wife and I are same always in the computer checking emails and passport status daily to see if there's latest news.It's very stressful for us at the moment but we can cope up with it in the end. I hope no more pressure soon and we will all be happy with our positive result .I've been thinking lately and I remembered my refusal history , it made me worried cos maybe that's the reason why they will need to interview me or like to refuse me.My mind is full thinking of negative and positive signs and I'm not sure what to expect in the end. I want to build my hope that I will be approved of visa soon but then I'm scared to get hurt again like last time.

When I applied as spouse, I was truthful with my answer and hope they will realize it.Will keep our fingers crossed and will see what will happen next..

Goodluck to you and your wife

And to everyone in the forum who will wish us goodluck...From the bottom of my heart I would say THANK YOU!...

May God bless us all. Take care!
