I do hope you have not booked a ticket as the UKBA advise that it can take up to 12 weeks to process an application.
I wish you the best of luck.

Good! Like Marco says, it can take up to 12 weeks. It varies so much.

12 weeks is the quickest ? ohh my

[lastlid]

12 weeks is the quickest ? ohh my

No. I didnt say that. But it can be as long as 12 weeks. The quickest I heard of was 1 day. But that isnt normal.

Have you seen this? These are the statistics for June 2012 for Manila. 42% of all settlement visas were processed in 15 working days - ie 3 weeks. 85% took 40 working days - ie 8 weeks. So you can see that 3 weeks would be quite quick really.

Only 16% took 10 working days ie 2 weeks.

is your requirements are complete?

were not really worrying ... just dont know why our application this time took so long thats it

[ReemaOwens]

Yes. It is hard and plays on your mind. I would say, just be patient as you WILL find out soon enough. The time that it takes seems to have little bearing on the outcome.

Hi rhaichard, can i ask some question? did you apply visit visa while your married already to your british husband??

[rhaichard]

Hi rhaichard, can i ask some question? did you apply visit visa while your married already to your british husband??

yes and they granted our visit visa last year because im only 20 years old at that time but when i back in the philippines last june and applied another visa they declined my application because they say i should apply spouse visa thats why english requirement is the documents that i dont have .. and when i receive the result after 1 week i applied spouse visa

[rhaichard]

It is really tormenting being away from them. I know the feeling coz I been away from my fiancee for almost 19 months and I'm trying to be positive to get my passport back next week with visa stamp.

I know how frustrating it is for both of you. The only thing we can do now is to wait and be positive.
