UKVCAS service outage during holiday period for 48 hours with no IT support. Service restored on 27/12/23 (10am) whilst spouse's appointment was in pm. It is worth uploading documents before public holidays if your appointment is around that time. Thanks to all moderators and contributors! Best wishes to those who are waiting.

The time lines are more or less accurate, my one took 3 months and 6 days. Avoid making travel plans which are touch and go from personal experience and give a few days as cover just as a precaution.

Delighted. 75days!!
Thank you to everyone on this website who share a wealth of information. Was unsure if we needed to file a separate SET(O) for the dependent who turned 18. In the end applied on the same SET(M) because she came on her mothers spouse visa. *supplied both LIFE UK TEST and GESE certs.
Good luck to you all. God bless.
