How much time it took for your application to change status from "forwarded" to "in process" and then how many days it took to take decision?

In India it usually enters the prcoess stage within the first week often inside a couple of days.

Dear All,

My endless waiting period for settlement spouse visa is still going on .

Applied on March 28 th @ VFS Cochin
110 working day's over . Mailed them many times . Getting the same reply , they need more time to assess the documents . Really tensed and loosing the confidence .

Trust me when I say this, there are bigger fish in life to worry about that a few extra weeks apart from yoru spouse. Yes it's difficult, but be grateful you're not one of those who's had to wait 2/3 years and go through 4 layers of appeals.

Legally they are close to breaching the timeline they gave you, but you will get a response within 3 weeks. Hang in there and be patient, you will get a response, unfortunately it seems there's been a massive increase in applications all over the world.

Many thanks to king2be98 for the encouraging words.

i have applied my visa on 11 june at new delhi bt m still waiting fo result...does anyone knw how to contact bhc delhi to knw abt my file...nd hw long does it take fo their decision.

Nothing yet, dont think we'll hear anything until december at the earliest. The review date is 3rd Jan 2013. The last 2 weeks of december are classed as bank holidays because of christmas and new year. So if they do overturn the decision then i think it will be early December. All we can do is wait now...its the waiting thats killing me.

@liza,

Dont worry.. at delhi airport, nobody gonna ask you anything about this. the immigration officer will just check your visa and put a stamp of departure.

on arrival to UK , they might ask you but very rare...
