Re: Spouse Visa - Overstayer - chances of approval?

Hi No I haven’t received a reply even though we applied for priority service. Received an email last week to say they hadn’t received sponsors documents, which I had already submitted. So I went and submitted them again. No sure how long it will take now. This is so disappointing Fiffiadi - I’ve be...

I know the decision isn't straight forward and most likely won't be made in the given timescale, but at least i can hope to have a decision before the 3 months processing ti...

Re: Financial requirement for Spouse Visa

Wow! you got me worried! My wife hasn't been contacted as of yet. So I have a few questions: 1. Did you got to one of the VFS visa centres? 2. Did you have to send in paper copies of all your online documents?? 3. Was the fee £75? Sorry, didn't mean to worry you! Yours may be absolutely fine - just...

Re: Financial requirement for Spouse Visa

Thanks for that. I've read through that case, and it was unfortunate for him and it wasn't his fault at all. It was UKVI and VFS mistake for not uploading all the documents. That brings me to my next question, talking to a friend, he's told me as part of the new gov site, all teh documents are uplo...
