I contacted my local MP yesterday so hopefully they can find out what's happening. My wife also received an email today that our application remains under consideration and unable to to decide application within customer service target. "We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make decision as soon as possible over the coming days". It's been nearly 4 months and still not received documents back. Has anyone got this email and how long did they wait before a decision was made? thanks for your time.

Update- My MP’s secretary rang UKVI again today as its the 69th day since biometrics. He was told a decision was made on 15th june. He was also told a review on the decision took place on 22nd June and another review took place on 2nd July. Does anyone know why reviews take place, not only once but twice. The MP’s secretary has requested UKVI to immediately send the passport and documents back.

Hi All,

I thought I would post my timeline on here..

I am a British citizen and applied for a spouse visa for my husband in Tunisia.

Online Application Submitted + Paid Fees (non priority) - 14/05/2018
Biometrics Appointment - 24/05/2018
Sent Documents to Sheffield - 06/06/2018

I haven't received any emails yet to say they have the application...
However, from looking at all of your timelines I realise it may be a while until I receive any acknowledgement!!
