Hi All
Apologies i understand this topic might be mentioned a lot on this forum, but it is obviously a stressful topic for many.
My wife and i got married in September and submitted our FLR (m) application at the end of September. It has now been over 2 months since we received the aknowledgment letter and they took the cash from us. However we have had no further correspondence or instructions regarding biometrics or requests for more information/documents. We have read on here that some people have received their biometrics request after just 6 weeks. Our questions are:
1) does our waiting time seem to be excessive or is this 'average'?
2) My wife was previously in the UK before we married on a fiance visa which does not expire until January. Does this have any weighting in the UKBA's decision of prioritising applications. For example would somebody who's current visa was due to expire this month be dealt with before us even though we submitted our application before them?
Again i understand this topic must be becoming repatitive to some people on here but please understand our position. We meet all the requirements and have complied with all of the UKBA's rules. It seems very unfair that when we comply with their rules, they seem to make no effort at all to meet their own deadlines.
