Spouse visa waiting times

Post by M1ch3l1na » Thu Sep 22, 2016 12:44 pm

Hi would like some help. I sent in visa application for my husband but it has been 60days now and still no news. Is anyone still waiting and is there anyway of chasing up the application.

You can't 'chase up' the application. Where was it submitted?

Current official statistics show that 38% of applications submitted in Kingston, Jamaica are processed within 60 working days, and 100% within 90 working days. Note that working days do not include Saturdays, Sundays or any Public holidays.

Bear in mind that 90 working days = approx 124 calendar days (more if the period includes Bank holidays).
