Hi all

we submitted our fiancé visa application on the 18 September and provided biometrics on the 25 September.

It’s been around 8 weeks now or 39 working days to be exact and aside from an auto email from Sheffield on the 10th saying they’d received it we’ve not heard anything else. Btw the online TLS tracker showed as received at the DMC long before we got the auto email (but from reading on the forum that seems normal with some people not even receiving that email).

My question is is it normal for things to be so quiet? What have others experienced recently?

Hello guys. This is the timeline for my husbands application:

04/10 - Online Application (PRIORITY)
07/10 - Biometrics done in Tirana
10/10 - Supporting documents sent to TLS scanning hub
14/11 - Case is not straight forward email.

It is currently 28 working days. Just wondering how long it can take now that email has been sent and when I should escalate.

Thanks.

We did our biometrics on the same day as you and got our not straightforward email today. Have you got any updates?

Hey, my dates are the exact same as yours. Did the online application on 18th Septemberand biometrics on 25th September. I have also received an auto email that my application is getting ready for consideration but apart from that nothing else. I think it is normal for it to be quite. Just hoping for some good news within the next few weeks.

No response at all. I'm midway thru right now, mines priority but not close to 30wd yet. The only email we had was from TLS on the day of biometrics saying it has been transferred to DMC.

We are all getting there soon by God's grace. The tension of none priority is just too much
