Hi Tulip,

As I can see no approval for you either as you applied a day after my husband. We do not have any news either but on 2 June we are going on holiday for 2 weeks and i have a feeling a brown envelope is going to wait for us :-)

Good luck and have a nice long weekend everyone!

Process according to Ian Page (Deputy Chief Caseworker)

(i) Envelope opened and fee taken to account. Contents of envelope place
in a pouch.
(ii) Application file is created. Database record created specific to
the application.
(iii) Security checks conducted - some of which are directly against the
information entered onto the database, others are with external
agencies.
(iv) Case goes into queue awaiting consideration by a caseworker. Queue
is in date-of-receipt order.
(v) Case is allocated to a caseworker for consideration. If everything
is in order the application is approved. If not, deficiencies are
rectified - e.g. by writing to applicant for further documents or by
clarifying immigration history from records or clarifying security
checks.
(vi) The system generates a certificate for the applicant which is
printed off and despatched.

Those people should get their approvals first who applied at the beginning of March. I have not seen anyone who received the approval of that period.
I do not get how people get their approval of end of March and no one received it who applied weeks before. Strange... :roll:

Next week Tuesday it will be 3 months since my husband applied :!: :cry: :| :?

Can take up to 2 weeks. Especially now it's bank holiday again so it may be later. If 2 weeks are gone and not heard anything then I would call HO

YOUR wife can apply as a spouse of BC as soon as you get the certificate. The passport is for TRAVELLING as it is a travel document.

Your wife needs your certificate, her passport and proof she has been resident for at least 3 years of UK
