Application Type: FLR(M) Standard Service spouse visa extension. Date application submitted: 10/07/2021 Documents uploaded & submitted via UKVCAS: 17/07/2021 Biometrics on: 06/08/2021 Email that decision cannot be made within 8 week service standard: N/A Decision of Application: email stating visa e...

Processing time starts from when you submit application. If for some reason they cannot give you a decision within the standard 8 week processing time they will email you.

The mandatory documents need to be signed once application is completed as that is when they become available to download.

So you can take your time to sign them. Its a shame instead of giving advice you are being spiteful and replying with negativity.

Hi i have applied for FLR M now and waiting for biometrics. My question is regarding dates on permission letter to live at property and the signed consents by applicant and partner - I have dated them a two days after the submitted application date and signed them accordingly. So i submitted app on ...

A big thank you to everybody for the immense support. This forum helped me on sleepless nights and gave me that little encouragment to hold it out for that one more week when the decision didnt come through. Don't ever lose hope. My husband was finally granted his visa after 9 months and 1 week. He ...

After 9 months and one week finally received email to collect passport. Had our joint interview last monday so God willing im sure it’s going to be positive as it went very well. Will have to wait till monday to due travel arrangments. Will update everyone then. Very excited. Very anxious! Biometric...

We had our joint interview last week and it has now been 9months of waiting since biometrics. I was interviewed on phone and husband on video both at the same time. Has anybody had any experience of this and how long they have taken to get back with a decision. The person on the phone mentioned tha...

After a very long wait we have been asked to be interviewed together. My husband in islamabad me in the uk over phone. Any experiences in this situation would be greatly welcomed and appreciated. We are in a fully committed relationship and have no problem answering any personal questions. Just have...

Been 8 and a half months now and still no reply or decision. MP has been flogged off with background checks excuse which everyone seems to be getting. Biometrics done 20/03/18 in Islamabad. Don't know how much longer this is going to take.

Another week gone in hope of reply but nothing. 8 months nearly since submitting biometrics (20.03.18) in islamabad but no sign of a decision. Is there any legal obligation on the home office to give a reply with a certain amount of time. Surely they cannot be allowed to mess with peoples lives like...

If you wouldnt mind saying under what circumstances related to 320 was your husband rejected?

Would you mind quoting from decision lefter or give a bit of background on his immigration history.

Would be appreciated.

It has been 7 months of waiting for a decision with none in sight in the immediate future as it seems. Does anyone have any idea what amount the home office can take for the max time. Sureley they have some moral and principals when dealing with people's futures?? My main concern now is that I have ...

I am in a similar dilemma 135 working days and 5 escalations later we are still waiting. My husband did do voluntary return after overstaying visit visa. Howevever it states on gov website 100% settlement visas are resolved in 24 weeks. We both have surpassed that now Mps are no help. How long is th...

It has become evident that's processing times no longer have any customer standards so ukvi can take as long as they like. Could anyone else comment on their processing times if it has gone beyond 6 months as to why it has taken that long? What checks are being done or what information are they wait...

I have been waiting for over 5 months / 108 working days now. Biometrics done on 20th March! At my wits end really. Sheffield emailed 3 weeks ago saying they expedited it but still nothing. MP wont get involved till 6 months pass.

I was called for today by ukvi related to my spouse visa; I was asked about my employment; I went wrong on one question? Do u think that would affect my case? My company director ive never ever dealt with him and ive always dealt with my boss and i mentioned my boss name as company director Someone...

As far as i am aware the appendix 2 form gets sent with all documents to Sheffield. Are you sure you sent it. As it wouldnt make sense to submit it in Pakistan. All documents including appendix fm form get sent directly to sheffield office via the sponsor in the uk.

Worst case scenario we wait 120 days / 6 months and then they really will need to pull their socks up. I've been emailing the email centre lately and surprisingly getting replies within one minute - emailed back and forth but it's literally useless automated replies ! Shows they have no idea and are...

I understand your frustration as i am in a similair position. Will be 90 days soon. They claim they have delays but are able to process some quickly at random. So just wanted to know if anyone can shed light on what these additional checks are exactly !

Received email correspondence from sheffield last week stating “ We apologise for the delay. We often have to make additional checks on applications and we cannot always give a timescale for how long these checks will take. We understand that this can be frustrating and your patience is very much ap...
