Sorry to say he lied the checks start once the app is on the main system and for us it was 7 weeks after the payment was taken and at the point it goes on the main system it is given a case number starting with R*******

I think you should add yourself to that list as you just added fuel to the fire with your very agressive and downright rude posts and responses.
I think in the end people were just posting knowing it would annoy you. All you did in the end was end up being abusive and causing other members to respond in a similar manner. Which made for very unsavory reading.

I hope the mods read some of your posts in that thread as despite people making mistakes posting there you were totally out of order.

I think u should start counting from the day the payment were taken as thats the day the case open and if u applied on the basis of married to be bc u should expect it to be longer than other applicant as it takes longer than tier 1 etc so dont worry u are still within normal time

Hi Masryman,

I applied for BC based on married with a British citizen. I read what you wrote so you think that might take longer than 6 months...that what you mean?

What about tier 1 when you compared, does it take longer than 6 months as well.

goodluck! :)

Well when people don't listen you need to get a bit aggressive all that had to do was follow a simple rule and were asked in a nice by me at first and other members and did not do it so at least the mods put a stop to you all

No i meant that tier1 takes between 4 to 6 weeks may be 8 but married to bc takes 10 to 12 weeks

goodluck! :)

Your status as married to a British citizen doesn’t mean it will takes longer

Whatever is your status Married to BC or not. it’s only a luck these days most of applications are dealt between 2, 3 months

So just be patient and hopefully you All will get what are waiting for.
