This forum has helped me alot while anxiously waiting for my husbands spouse visa, so I decided to post my experience hope this helps everyone
Online Application submitted: 31st May 2019
Priority/Non priority: Non priority
Location: Dar Es Salaam
Biometrics enrolled: 14th June 2019
ECO email: 14th june
Employer contacted by UKVI: no
Sponsor contacted by UKVI: no
5th September 2019:12 weeks past and no email from home office
16th September 2019 Called the very pricey number to ask what's going on
(Lady on the phone was actually empathetic and escalated my application as no decition was made yet, so not always a bad idea to call)
17th September: Email from home office requesting for additional documents+ not straight forward email: scanned and sent document next working day even though it was scanned before
Decition made email :Not recieved
27th september 2019: TLS email stating that passport will be ready for collection soon
TLS email for collecion: not recieved
1st October 2019: Passport collected and visa granted alhumdulillah !!![]()
(15.5 weeks after biometrics)
May Allah make the process easier for you all. Dont loose hopehope this helps.
Congratulations!! Happy for you. Just a question does anyone know how long it takes for vfs centres to give passport back once the application has been assessed and they have requested passport again. My partner gave them the passport on friday. Does this mean visa has been approved? thanks
