UK spouse visa timeline for April 2017

Is this CFO compulsory? As my wife works in vietnam.

where is she flying from??

Probably ho chi min city mattecube.

but Filipino

Yes she is filipino 26 year old working in danang vietnam.

only if shes leaving from the philippines. its only a local thing there--no relevance to UK immigration. but might need it if she visits the philis in the future.

agreed no guidance on cfo if outside the Philippines.

Evidence of accommodation
- Bills from council, council tax and rent. But under my granddads name.
- AS letter of acknowledgement from my tennant/grandad

  Following a Supreme Court judgment, the Home Office has paused decision-making on some applications – in particular, those failing to meet the minimum income threshold for British citizens sponsoring a non-EEA partner and non-EEA children. The reason for this pause is to enable the Home Office to consider the implications of the judgment. All other applications will continue to be processed and decided as normal.
