There are delays being experienced and this can take up to 6months. Try get the MP feedback while you continue to be patient.heathrow wrote: ↑Sat Sep 17, 2022 6:44 pmMy wife applied for a spouse visa extension on 14 May and had her appointment on 10 June, and we are still waiting. She has some sort of extension until 23 December, so she can still work (but we can't go on holiday). So in total its been 14 weeks since her appointment on 10 June (the visa processing time is supposed to be 8 weeks). There is no way of making an enquiry with the Home Office so I asked my MP to make an enquiry, which they did on 23 August. They have not had any response to their enquiry and made a further enquiry on 14 September. The delay seems very odd as all the spouse visa extensions I see on this site have been made promptly. Any ideas what else I can do?
Is your partner currently on 5 or 10 years route? If it is 10 years, it is currently taking a long time to be decided while if it is 5 years then it can take upto 8 weeks. I know tons of people who applied in May and have successful received their approval unless your application isn't straightforward?heathrow wrote: ↑Sat Sep 17, 2022 6:44 pmMy wife applied for a spouse visa extension on 14 May and had her appointment on 10 June, and we are still waiting.

Can you try clarify on what route she is, 5 and 10 years are so far apart.....her initial spouse visa grant can point you under which route.
You don't get to decide it is easy despite how it seems.heathrow wrote: ↑Sat Oct 15, 2022 4:21 pmWell it’s now over 4 months since my wife’s spouse visa extension application on 10 June. Two enquiries by my MP to the Home office but no response. My wife meets all the requirements- it should be a very easy decision to make. Has anyone tried to get the first tier tribunal to require the HO to provide a reason for the delay?
