Still waiting for my VISA

[Eyes O'Donnell]

Hi everyone,

Its already 4 weeks since I applied for my spouse visa. After I received two messages I haven't receive any news from them
I know that I submitted the right documents that they need. I really don't understand what's going on with my visa application. My husband and I are very anxious its very stressful
I really miss my husband and really want to be with him
Hope everything will turn out well soon
Good luck and Godspeed

Hello!Eyes,

Your not alone..i have lodge my application 2weeks ago and after the two message I haven't receive any news..hope we can get visa soon I pray..goodluck to us!

I think we were just lucky, back in the autumn, as ours took 2 weeks and others took just a few days. But I guess that was a little unusual and it is back to normal with longer waiting times right now.

Maybe due to the increased number of folk simply trying to get their visa processed before the changes are implemented? I would imagine that a lot more applications have gone in recently for that reason.

I relate to the stressful bit as ones life goes on hold until the result finally comes through. We discovered we couldn't plan or anything. The consoling point is that the success rate is so very high. And of course the feeling is euphoric when the positive result comes through.

[Eyes O'Donnell]

It is worth adding that I think I am correct in saying that days quoted by the UKBA are working days......

Yep, it's working days.
5 working days = 1 week

yes many were waiting for months, for some people over 3 months

just because you've been waiting 4wks i wouldn't worry

I think currently it is still their peak season plus to think that they have so many back logs during the holiday season and with the increase of tourist visa for the Olympics.

My visa was granted after 7 weeks or so, submitted before christmas

Its too early dont stress yourselves out..stay positive

Good luck and God Bless

the increase of tourist visa for the Olympics.

Mmm ... I never THOUGHT of that possibility ... !

[Arthur Little]

Anyway ... Gospeed to BOTH ladies - and others - patiently awaiting their visas.

[lykayu01]

I also feel for you...
Let's just hope and pray for the visa to be dispatched in a couple of days or weeks...

that's imagine my frustrations!! I called them last wk and this week and same story all settlement are pending though I am not convinced! all we have to do is wait and for how long I don't know but I was advised to call back again so I will do it. I try not to think about it otherwise I will have lots of sleepless nights! I just put in mind that everything will fall into place and that its worth waiting for!!

It took us 4 weeks back in november to obtain our fiancée visa and like u i was getting anxious so sent an e mail to " ukinthephilippines@fco.gov.uk" asking why it was taking so long. I didnt get an acknowledgement but the visa was issued within a few days of receipt of my mail so u may want to do the same thing, at least then u know they might investigate in case its been overlooked in a pile of paperwork.
Anyway best wishes and be positive, the wait will be worth it.

Hi aim_angel I'm very frustrated because I got no right to rush them just to wait. Take care
