    3 months spouse visa

    Folks,

    Did anyone take longer than 3 months (~14 weeks) for approval of a spouse visa?

    Cheers,
    Ben B

    I am of the opinion that due to the recent Embassy move, there will be delays in all applications.

    So do not despair, if the embassy haven't given the dossiers to Group4, Brinksmat, or Securicor to transport and subsequently lose.....

    You should be ok....

    mates, it doesn't matter if it takes long, whats matter most is you will not be denied...
    anyway,while waiting for your visa, just spend your time here in the forum and spend quality time to your family and friends, coz for sure, you'll gonna miss them when you're already in the UK...
    anyway, good luck to all of you...

    I've told Jassmine to assume that it is going to take 3 months so as not to think about it too much.

    My guess is that (artificial) delays and pricey fees are mainly in place to deter people from applying.

    my guess is, because its the busiest time of the year to apply for a visa, the embassy moving, and because of new procedures like biometrics have s-l-o-w-e-d the visa process down...

    'Applicants for visas to the United Kingdom will now go through a new system involving biometrics. Peter Beckingham, British Ambassador to the Philippines, says that the new facilities will make the visa application process faster and safer for everyone.'

    . Perhaps he means that the process of applying will be really quick but not the actual processing.

    Based on http://www.vfs-uk-ph.com/processingtimes.aspx, the maximum waiting time is 3 months. There are applicants who got their spouse visa in 4 weeks time others really waiting up to 12 weeks. Just make sure that you provide the British Embassy all needed supporting docs.

    I will lodge my spouse via application tomorrow morning and my countdown will soon begin. I hope and pray that I'll get my visa in a few weeks time by God's grace.
