On Friday, 8:00 am (India time) he got his passport and he got the EEA Family permit :D Finally the wait is over and we give all of you good wishes :D Love ...

Hi Zuly, My wife applied from Lahore, Pakistan. Her application decision was made on June 6, 2017. I sent an email to UKVI yesterday to inquire about her passport as it is mentioned that She should receive it within 10 business days. Lets see what they respond! All the best everyone! Hi Faisal - th...

WHERE DID U CHECK THE STATUS AND WHAT REFRENCE NUMBER WAS LIKE .I HAVE LIKE GWF123456789 BUT NOTHING SHOWN . Hi Tufail, https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/app/visa_application/checkvisastatus I checked here and used the GWF number. However I remember trying this a few weeks ago and nothing woul...

Hi guys, Thanks for the good wishes :) We haven't received our documents yet! Frustrating how long it takes! I think processing times will depend on where you are applying from as well. I applied from Mumbai and looks like many of you did too and are experiencing delays. Funny how rejections are dea...

Hi guys! Any news on pending applications? I called HO again and was told a decision has been made on the 13/06/2017 - so I just need to wait 15 working days for it to be processed plus a couple days for courier service. Let's hope it's positive :) My process was escalated on th 12/06/2017 so that w...

Hi all, Just checked the Visa Processing Times for EEA Family Permits from Mumbai and they have updated for decisions made in May 2017. Compared to February HO is taking longer to process applications: Number of days to process application 15 days 30 days 60 days 90 days % of applications decided 44...

I believe you should provide everything you can to support your application. Since you're marriage for such short period, try to show all the possible proofs of you relationship. My friends had dated for 13 years and got married a year before applying for the EEA FP. They submitted pictures togethe...

Congratulations Ammara, so glad for you - you were in my duas yesterday

Haha definitely have a break from all this visa drama and enjoy your time with the hubby!

All the best!

I'm by no means an expert but even though photos are not "essential" requirements they are recommended requirements which only support your case - and they are listed in the documents list. With so many sham marriages happening I think it's reasonable that they want to see more evidence of your rela...

Hi Ammara, That's great news ! Really hope you get it :) Yea they changed the way calls are charged and I didn't particularly find the adviser any knowledgeable or useful. I'll wait the 10 working days before I chase it up again! My dream of having the husband over in time for Eid is gone - so frust...

Hi Zuly, I think it is definitely worth calling them to give them a little push because this escalation thing is happening with lot of people I think. When I called them they had no idea where my application and then they said they have now escalated my case and someone is looking to it. Emails and...

Hi Ammara That sounds odd - I think they usually send all docs together with the passport. But to give you some positive light, when my husband applied for the first time in India back in January the decision was made within a week and it was rejected - and all documents alongside passport and refus...

Hi Mike, I've had the same issue where after printing the application I realised I accidentally wrote the incorrect date of birth which is quite a crucial detail. So I calles HO to ask what to do and was advised to just fill a new application within the same account and book an appointment within th...

Hi there,

Yes that's correct - the service is outsourced so they introduced those charges to cover costs.

All the best diwakar85. Sidkapure - I applied for the second time on 22nd March 2017 - still waiting. I checked status once and they said our process was According to February stats it may take the HO up to 60 working days to make a decision on applications. With Brexit and people putting forward th...

Hi all,
Sorry to hear about your refusal diwakar85
All these refusals are really worrying but have to stay positive!
Could you guys post about the reasons for refusal please?

Hi Ianlan,

Diwakar85 - Still waiting - applied on 22 March!

Hello so it means from march 21 your still waiting? :( why its so late they say we have to wait for 10-15 days :( Hi there!

All that stress was defo worth it. I would say just keep on waiting because with us they did not even contact us with...

Hi, I am also in the same situation. I got rejected within a week when I applied in February. I reapplied again in March and 15 days after the biometric appointment we received the " Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your a...
