Hi guys
sounds as if its a general issue all around, i made my spouse visa application on Feb 2016, at first the home office made a mistake saying that i had not fulfilled the financial requirements, yet i exceeded the amount of salary needed for someone to qualify in bringing their spouse. My case then went to the tribunal, where i won the case, (Case Withdrawn) that was the decision i received from the home office, and until now, i have not received any response at all from UKVI, all the inquiries i have made, i have been told that the VISA office is yet to receive the tribunal confirmation of the outcome, which am sure they did receive or otherwise they wouldn't have sent me that email confirming the withdrawal of the appeal. All the numbers and email addresses i have tried have all been in vain, none connects through, finally i contacted my local MP who has taken my case on but was told recently that it would be taking long.
Guys i know this could be happening to many of you, if there's anyone with some advice on how to contact please advice.
Many thanks

Yeah my initial application was in Feb 2016, then received an email in November 2016 with an attached letter from the Global Appeals service, indication that my appeal had been withdrawn. My next correspondence was when i rang their call centre and was told that they were " waiting our copy of the determination from the appeals team onshore, we can not proceed any further until we have our own copy, we are chasing this document but the applicant needs to wait for us to contact them"

I applied for a spouse settlement visa in Dec 2016 and still waiting for a decision, so would like to know who else is waiting from this time period.

Thanks and God Bless everyone

hello everyone

applied in kenya for my wife

biometric january 23/2017
received uk visa & immigration on 24 jan 2017
not straight foward email on 24 feb 2017
waited all this time and suddenly last friday 1 sept 2017 received email saying decided and passport returning to where i applied.
monday 4th sept 2017 collected passport (visa refused)
and the reason for refusal is,, i do not meet the financial requirements.. because i have 2 children.. even though i did not apply for them, only applied for my wife, they refused. i earn 20,696 a year and sent everything to prove..
so they decided that because i have 2 children EVEN THOUGH I DID NOT APPLY FOR THEM that i have to earn 24,800
they say i have the right to appeal..
need help guys dont know what to do.
is there a RULE that says even if you are not applying for children, you must earn that amount??

All - We applied for my husband's spouse visa in March 2017 and still awaiting a decision. He was called yesterday to come into the visa center for an interview. Has anyone's spouse been through an interview, what type of questions were asked. The only thing they told him was that he didn't need to bring anything with him, just be present for an hour before the appointment time.

If anyone could advise, would be really grateful.

Hi All

I have couple of questions on my visa if any one can help. I did biometric on 2nd June 2017 and still waiting

1. I never recieve any mail even after 60 working days that my application is on hold. We really have no visibility as of now. Every one got on hold application after 60 working days ?

2. When we contacted our local mp office first answer was , Home office was waiting for your documents then in reply of that we send all the proof of scanning service we used to send documents. So they asked to wait for a week and now this week got answer that home office will reply to MP query between 28 Aug - 25 Sep that is 20 working days more. Going to solicitor will help in any case now ??

3. If I withdraw my application and go on visitor visa , and we will return back to India for good after that , as my husband is waiting for his citizenship so he can not return back immediately. Any chances of getting visitor visa refused ??

4. We just submitted our marriage certificate , nothing else as a proof of relationship. Can that be a reason of refusal but we do mention that we know each other from past 4 years and we met in UK only. Its not a arranged marriage

5. He is director of his company , we submitted all of his bank accounts , salary slips but did not mention how company details or anything . Is this the reason of such long delay ?

Hi to all

I applied in March 3 biomatric
Sent paper Sheffield on 14 march
Got hold and not straightforward email in may
Email last week about status reply from ho
U r application is being considered and currently awaiting for decision.

Anyone know how long will take after that
They send hold email but when we call ukvi
They never mention about hold
I think they just send people without any reason
Only because they want more time to take.

How come, did they ask you for any documents? It shouldn't take that long. You working two jobs? You have any kids? Documents, Two jobs, kids?

Hi m2sam

No only doing one job. And no kids
U can check previous post of others
All are waiting maximum from December
Ho delay for some random person not on all applications.others are getting there visa in basic 3,4 months. Ho answering they try to clear application in September.

Hi there
U wanna skip u r spouse visa and wanna apply for visitors visa. U previous on what visa in UK. If u overstay there. U can't get visitor visa easily. They also doubt on u r relationship if u try to withdraw u r application. Just wait for decision first and why u not send all proof of u r past relationships.

No i did not overstay there , i was on work permit and in fact we used to work there for same company and that how I met my husband , As i my work visa finished I chose to come back to India at that time and he decided to continue in UK. My sponsor at that time was A+ rated sponsor and a very big firm so no loop holes in my stay in UK and I chose to come 2 years earlier before the end of my work permit.

Hello fellow UK spouse settlement visa applicants, is there anyone out there who has received a 'case not straightforward' email along the course of their visa process time but has successfully been granted their settlement visa in the end?

Many thanks in advance!

Lily yes, most people do, and do not worry, this is a generic email sent by HO, which means there is a delay and they cannot meet their service standards. Nothing to worry about. This means you have to be a little bit more patient They send this email after 3 months.

I read in other forum
They ask some security questions like marriage date, spouse d.o.b etc
And also they will ask about sponsor's employment details
Have u got case not straight forward email?
Does the sponsor contacted by the HO ?
