I applied for a settlement spouse/CP visa last 13 March 2012. I have not heard from them yet! It's now the 7th week of waiting. 90% of applications are decided after 8 weeks! I would really HATE to be part of that 10% that takes longer than 2 months! Can anybody who applied in 2013 share their timeline??
No replies? It's going to be 60 days on 13 May since I've applied for a civil partner visa (I applied last 13 March). When should I expect to hear from them? I'm getting worried. Can anybody who applied recently share their timeline?
Have a look on the UKBA website. They give out stats on this. It took us two weeks. A friend of ours took only one day. And for many it has been in the region of 2 or 3 months. It just depends and there is no way of forecasting. The UKBA do issue processing times: Settlement Visas 10 days : 1% 15 days : 1% 40 days : 23% 60 days : 91% 90 days : 100% These are for the Philippines in March 2013 and are working days so 23% were processed in 40 working days i.e. 8 weeks. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/vi...ultTableAnchor
Processing times are pretty standard these days, it is the appeals and stuff that clog the system up.
I'm afraid there's no quicker way for that! Only if you are on process of your ILR, you can get it the same day if you book for an appointment, rather than posting your application.
