2nd FLR (M) application for myself
Online app and paid: 14th of May 2018 (biometric letter received automatically upon submitting online application)
Support posted and biometrics appointment: 15th of May 2018
Support received by Home Office: 16th of May (according to Royal mail tracking)
Home office letter acknowledging receipt of application: 22nd of May 2018
Approval letter and brp received: 6th of June 2018
Total: 7 weeks and 4 days

My husband is self-employed so we were expecting a longer wait due to the extra support we had to provide. Overall, we are satisfied with the service but you can never avoid the stress of waiting!

This is NOT a timeline for application outside the UK. The topic heading clearly states FLR(M) and NOT VAF4A!!

There is a Pakistant Spouse Visa timeline only topic for applications OUTSIDE the UK, post there!!
