New salary threshold of £38,700

The UK government announced today that they want to raise the minimum salary requirement for family visa from 18k to 38k.

Re: meaning of "awaiting a decision" email?

I was told by my solicitor that a priority service means that your application will be put at the front of the queue. That’s it. It may be processed quickly, but unfortunately paying for priority does not guarantee 100% you will get a response faster, regardless of your situation. Some members have...

I does mean nothing, really. It's just an acknowledgement (stand...

I don't see any way that such an application could be succesful. It flashes all the Home office red lights that would make them assess your relationship as non-genuine (it doesn't matter that you say it is, what matters is that THEY say it is).

Re: What is the chain of sms notifications we should expect?

but the reason why I ask, is because I wonder, is it normal to have it received it so quickly, or is it meaningless (important note: I paid for the priority service).
