Date when application submitted:
30th December 2016
Date of submission:
New Delhi, India
Received the emails they sent out:
Not straightforward in August
October 31st email sent on 25th Sept
Never received the email end of October that they are still working on case.
Decision made email sent:
1st November 2017
Passport collected:
3rd Nov 2017
I spent hundreds of hours and thousands of pounds calling UKVI call centre every week since June as well as chasing MP but in all honesty none of them did and could of done anything.
My decision was made according to God's will and having faith in the risen God Jesus Christ.
I was one of the oldest applicants waiting here having applied last December 2016.
My total wait was:
216 working days (308 calendar days).
This was one of the hardest things to bear but God never left my side and was always with me and my wife.
Have faith in the risen Lord as there is power in the name of Jesus Christ.
I hope you all get your decisions soon.
God bless.

FINAL UPDATE:
•Spouse Visa Application: Husband (PRIORITY)
•Online Application submitted on 26/09/2017
•Biometrics at Islamabad on 29/09/2017
•Documents sent to Sheffield on 05/10/2017
•Received back from Sheffield on 11/10/2017
•I Called UKVI on 17/10/2017 to notify them of email correction and status update. The girl couldn't give me any information as they don't have access to it. Application still under process.
•I emailed them on 30/10/2017 for status update. They replied 31 10/2017 (morning) saying application still under process
• I received a direct email from the Gerry in Islamabad for passport collection 31/10/2017 (afternoon). This was a very weird email. It wasn't from the UKVI. It didn't have my husbands name or GWF reference number. The sender was "srisbvac" and at the end of email it said it was from Gerry Islamabad.
•01/11/2017 My husband called Islamabad and found that the passport had arrived. Later that day Islamabad Gerry called my husband twice to come and pick up the passport.
• My husband picked up his passport 02/11/2017 and Alhamdulilah Visa had been granted and was starting from the 6/11/2017
Please note. It took us 24 working days from Biometrics to picking up the Passport. Alhamdulilah we were lucky not to have waited so long. The UKVI didn't call the sponsor nor the employer. They didn't respond via email for receiving the documents or anything else. Totally silent not even a peep from them.
Good luck to those still waiting. Hope u all get replies very soon x

New week starts hope lots of them will hear good news this week. Does anyone receive decision recently applied from Sri Lanka? I'm waiting since July 2017 from Sri Lanka and still didn't hear anything from home office. Hopefully we all get visa soon. Hope for the best.
