Hi everyone - my wife got her spouse visa yesterday so wanted to share the timelines. Note I did NOT pay for any expedited service.

Application submitted & biometrics enrolled at: 9th Feb 2016 (Lahore)
Application forwarded to British High Commission on: 10th Feb 2016
Application under process at British High Commission on: Unknown

Supporting documents sent to Sheffield on: 15th Feb 2016
Supporting documents received back from Sheffield on: Not received yet

Contacted with 'decision made': 3rd March 2016
Contacted for Collection: 3rd March 2016
Collection made: 4th March 2016

My wife just received the one email saying the processed visa application had been received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 3/3/16 and with a CRM ref. No other emails saying decision made. Then my wife received a phone call from the Lahore office of Gerrys saying to come and collect the passport on 03/03/16.

I am genuinely and very pleasantly surprised at how quickly the decision was made - especially when you consider I sent some additional follow up documents on the 22nd of Feb that I had missed (my passport, home inspection report, wedding invite etc).

Inshallah all of you still waiting to hear will also receive a fast response.

EDIT: Anyone know when I am supposed to receive my supporting documents? I sent the original TB certificate to Sheffield and would need to receive it so I can courier to my wife before she travels to the UK.
