to apply for fiance visa how long did u guys wait for your visa from the point of submission?

[Bluebirdjones]

... it's known to be as quick as 10 days .... and also long as 17 weeks,
although they seem to have streamlined the process since then, and
taken on extra staff.

If straight forward, I think that you realistically looking at 3-4 weeks.
Just make sure to give them all the info they require.

Hi Colin and welcome to the forum. If you have a well completed application form, well compiled evidence of relationship, finances, accomodation etc, accompanied by a well written letter of support which address any issues that you think might be of concern to the ECO (Entry Clearance Officer) then there will be no need for an interview and it shouldn't take too long to process.

As I've said before on this forum, these ECO's are just box tickers and if everything they expect to see is there and there is nothing about the application or the evidence that is questionable, they will just tick all the right boxes and issue the visa.
Iain.
