I have submitted all the documents online and my wife in Manila has just done the biometrics for her spouse visa. Has anyone else submitted recently and how long did it take or are you still waiting? My immigration solicitor that I used to do the application said the decision can take 6 months at the moment but is dependant to some extent on which country you are applying from as they have different size teams dedicated to certain countries who make the decisions.
The Home Office used to publish monthly stats retrospectively, but now I can only find this generalised information - https://www.gov.uk/guidance/visa-decision-waiting-times-applications-outside-the-uk
As it says on that page, I suspected it was due to the situation in Ukraine and not wanting to give applicants false hope on the timescale.
