What sorts of questions did they ask? If you don't mind me asking though
Its just basic questions like employment, trip abroad and visa category. I was really worried with how I answered him on phone coz of adrenaline.
That's it! Congrats!I've got an email saying that " Your visa will be dispatched shortly". Is it good news?!!!!!

I hope they will call me any day now.. Seems like they will call first before they give decision eh.. I'm glad you are done with this waiting game.. I'm praying and hoping to read that email ASAP so I can give the good news to my fiancé. I am happy for youIts just basic questions like employment, trip abroad and visa category. I was really worried with how I answered him on phone coz of adrenaline.
Should we say Fiancee visa if they will ask us about category? or "Settlement visa" is more appropriate? Lol. Just curious haha
I would say fiancé visa or marriage visa is more specific... Settlement visa is like a broad term, can be fiancé, spousal, FLR or ILR...
I did say both. LOL
Phew!!! The long wait is over. My wife just received an email from UKVI "Your visa will be despatched (sic) shortly. "
She applied for her spouse visa on on 18th March (VFS appointment) so by my reckoning that is 52 working days - a bit better than around 64 that other people have reported.
Interestingly, I did send an email query on the UKVI website on Monday, and got a reply yesterday saying:
"I have checked your visa application status, your application was received on 20 March but has not been assessed by an Entry Clearance Officer yet. We normally will process: 95 per cent of settlement applications within 12 weeks of the application date and 100 per cent within 24 weeks of the application date."
Then the next day it is granted. Coincidence? Maybe - but it certainly didn't do any harm emailing them.
Her English exam was Cambridge KET which she did in the UK while she was here on a visitors visa last summer. So she wasn't affected by the TOEIC debacle, and had no phone call from UKVI.
Anyway, thanks to everyone on this forum. Although I haven't posted much, reading it was a great help for information during the application process, and also a great moral support during the long wait.
Congratulations to all those who recently get their visas and good luck to those who are still waiting.

It IS, indeed ... congratulations!I've got an email saying that "Your visa will be dispatched shortly". Is it good news?!!!!!
Thanks Sir Arthur.
Confused how many of you have now got 'visas' but whatever, Congratulations everyone and good luck for the future!It could simply be pure conjecture on my part, Michael ...Phew!... thank God things are moving at last!
... but I'm guessing the authorities are finally waking up
to the unfairness of keeping those applicants - whose criteria matches in every other respect - waiting indefinitely pending any firm decision as regards the "interim validity" of their satisfactory results obtained using the since suspended TOEIC Examinations.
possibly explains it! Which ... of course ... will be welcome news for all others in a similar situation.
Here's hoping!!
Happy days ahead
2 minutes earlier I received an email
"Your visa will be despatched shortly. Passports can normally be collected from the Visa Application Centre after 3 days depending on which country you applied from or will be couriered back to you only if you have availed of this service. UKVI"
