Hi. For me, it took 7 and a half months to get a decision. I applied at the end of September 2021. At the six-month point, I sent an email to FurtherNationalityEnquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk to ask for an update and the reply came after 16 working days (I think they say they'll try to reply within 20 w...

Someone in the passport timeline posted just today the exact same problem and even though RM tracking says that it wasn't delivered, HMPO still acknowledged receipt a couple of weeks later. They said the reason is that HMPO doesn't always sign for items as they are delivered in bulk. Anyway, you can...

We applied for my wife's settlement visa from Shanghai,too - back in 2016. Our first application was rejected (missing supporting docs) but the second application 3 months later was successful. Both took around 3 weeks. Visa processing times in China are quite quick - according to this , 79% of sett...

SandyGarg: I asked this exact question in a different thread and I've just found some text on .gov.uk which answers it. To avoid repetition, I'll just include the link to that thread: https://www.immigrationboards.com/immigration-for-family-members/spouse-visa-extension-33-months-or-30-months-t25069...

I just found some text which states clearly the rule and confirms what CR001 said earlier. Here is the direct link to the document: Appendix FM 1.0a: Family Life: 5-Year Routes To show that this is current guidance and not an archived document, here is the link trail I followed: Starting here , clic...
