Good luck with your husband!

I got a call today (16/10/19) from UKVI asking me (the sponsor) about my employment as I've had two jobs in the last 12 months. It lasted 36mins, they asked about my jobs, salary, role, how I applied, what the building looks like, who I work with. So it was a bit bizarre in that sense.

They said they'd now contact my employers both past and present.

Also Fif, I asked if they'd received all the documentation and they said they'd received everything even with the awful VFS upload.

But I haven't had the "your case is not straight forward" email yet.
Hi Zak,

That's great about them being able to see your documents! You won't receive a case not straight forward e-mail this soon in the process. It's usually close to the 60 day mark.

Wishing you all the best!
Hi Fififadi,

Thanks for that!

I seen on the other thread, your husband will be collecting his passport on Monday, so good luck with that Inshallah! Hopefully it's good news!

Zak

My timeline
Spouse Settlement Visa

Country applying from: Jamaica

Catergory: Salaried

Online application: June 17, 2019

Biometric: June 24, 2019 with dependent

Priority/standard: Standard

NSF email : September 17 On our 61 wds
NB: IHS payment made on date of application
IHS top up payment for dependent: September 24
IHS top up payment asked for again October 9
IHS top up payment asked again 3 times October 16
IHS payment made October 17,2019

I made a second payment on October 17, seems like there system having glitches, so I escalate the case and ask for a refund of payment made on the date of application.
Hence I would have gotten through within the stipulated time given 12wks ( 60 days) but because the delay of IHS payment they weren't seen it on their system.

Received text from VFS for passport collection: October 22,2019

Passport collected: October 23, 2019

Total of 87 WD including today
Vignette Sticker October 29, 2019-November 28, 2019

To all those waiting don't give up you will get through the key to this process is patience, God is good all the time.
May God bless you all and a special thanks to everyone for the sincerely help.
Thanks to everyone

On tls website, this is what I get when i click on 'track'.

Track the stages of your application in real-time

Biometric Enrollment Done (a green tick)
Application Transferred To DMC ( a green tick)
Application Received By DMC (a green tick)
Application Transferred To VAC (a red sand timer)
Application Received By Vac (a red sand timer)
Passport Picked By Applicant (a red sand timer)

My solicitor said this means the UKVI is processing my application and that we should wait for their decision.

Is this what you have, if you don't mind me asking.
