Hi all,
We are still waiting for our Fiancé visa to come through. We are now on the 21st working day(tomorrow) and I just want our result. Here is our timeline

Fiancé visa
Online application: 09/09/19
Biometrics done in Accra, Ghana: 04/10/19
ECO email: 28/10/19
Still waiting for a decision.

I was wondering if there are any other people which have done their application from Ghana to see their own experiences.

Fingers crossed we get this visa, we are due to be married in January 🤞🏼

If you have paid for priority service, you should get decision within 30 working days not 60 days (which they apparently said in their email to you). It's 30 wd from biometrics so you should count 30 wd from 15 October.

Mine is also priority service and my biometrics was on 10th october.

Usually a decision is made 2 or 3 weeks after the email that says your application is received and is being considered by entry Clearance officer.
