Don't worry tulip11, I don't think it would be related to that you still didn't get the approval. I filled all my addresses for past 5 years and I still don't have any response either We will get our brown envelops soon, don't worry

Thanks. I hope so we all get our approvals very soon.
But do you think it would be a problem ? I filled all my UK addresses since I came here I thought it just apply to uk addresses even NCS lady checked the form and where we left something she said put this n that but she didnt say anything about addresses .

Hi Tulip,
Your going to be fine, you applied under spouse visa so you are ok with the three years address. Try and stay positive and it will come.
Cheers, Tangie.

Not necessarily bro as we have seen that march applicants are getting their approvals too....depends on what case worker has got I guess and how efficiently he/she is dealing with the case

It's over 3 months now, travelling back home next month!!!dont know what if I get the approval letter in my absence

It is OK. You will have 3 months to book and do the ceremony. Relax

It's gonna be 4 months next week. I was really hopeful when I saw approvals within few weeks 2 months ago and now I feel like I will be lucky if I get it within 6 months. Life is weird!

Could you please help me out with the below question?

I am planning to submit my degree certificate obtained from India to demonstrate my English language knowledge.

Congrats John...encouraging news for those who're still waiting. My timeline is exactly as yours, hope will get mine soon!!!

Congrates John.

that is big jump from end of February to End of March applicant, healthy though.
And
That also means no wonder if we hear very first approval from April applicants in next few days or next week to be the latest.

Hi tier2,

This was the case with my Spouse's application too. And it was approved in approximately 2 weeks time. In India, names are written with initials which is understandable. Don't worry. You'll be alright.

In my case, march applicant awaiting approval, I attached a letter from university explaining that my degree was taught and researched in english in which I got my name in first name surname pattern for my piece of mind. They could use it for cross verification.

Hope this helps.

Hurrah John... Congrats!
Your message charged me up really...
It gave me reassurance.
So happy for you.

Thank you tier2_cts, My certificate has only got my first name and initial, I don't think it is a problem. Don't worry and good luck

And thank you to kais, Buzz bee... wish you all a swift positive decision

Just to add that the passport that I included in the application expired on the day I posted the application, by the time it was received/acknowledged, it was well and truly expired, but thankfully that did not cause any issue.

Good news and good luck for everyone.
Applied for my son on 30-march-15. received H.0 on 1st april.Received approval letter on 1st july

looks like they started clearing feb and march applications.good luck to everyone.

thanks,
R.J
