Still Waiting for Visa reply

[tinzky19]

Hi everyone!

So great to read happy news about visa approvals. Makes me feel optimistic.

I have lodge a spouse visa application myself on 14th April. I also had a TOEIC certificate submitted for my English requirement.

I had received a call yesterday afternoon from UKVI. Told me that TOEIC will no longer be valid but will still be accepted and they just need to assess my English to validate it. The guy then said I have good standard of English and might receive my documents back on Monday since it's a holiday today. So keeping fingers crossed!

Has anyone been called and interviewed like this and got denied result? I assume that they won't bother checking your English if you haven't satisfied the rest of the more important requirements, right? I am not sure. Its just me being so positive! Haha.

Is this the only season when there are lots of approved visas for the members of this forum? I am so thankful being part of this.

I am wishing you good luck! I lodged my application 2nd of April, took TOEIC exam too but I did not receive a call, and 2 months and four days after, i got my visa. Weird. lol

Keep your hopes up, and your life will change soon!!

Congrats in advance hehehe, always think positive. Me and some members here who took ETS TOEIC English Test received a call from UKBA to test our English proficiency. My thought also if they are not satisfied with the documents they will not bother to contact the applicant.

So I got an email a few minutes ago that my visa will be despatched shortly. This must be good news, musn't it? It said I can collect it in 3 days. Does that mean I can collect it on Monday or should I wait for the text? (I availed the SMS service).

I will try not to be too excited!

What marvellous news

So, the spouse visa is only valid for two years and nine months? And then what next? I thought it will be for five years validity. Looks like we will need to apply for another visa again next time.

Hi DAnn it's good to hear you got your passport with visa on it.
Yeah, it's only valid for 33 months for spouse visa and another application again. So when is your plan to travel? Hehe

Hi tinzky19! I had the same question few days ago, that was when I received the same email as you have received today. Friends here told me that there should be another email or notification that should say your visa/docs has been received in VFS already and will be ready for collection at designated collection times. True enough, I did receive the second email a day later after the first email. And today I collected my docs from VFS. It was quick and easy!

Hi Dann,

Thanks for your reply. I had received the second email yesterday just 2 hours after getting the first one. It said it is already with VFS. That means I can already collect it on Monday, right?
