I applied for my spouse settlement Visa at Pune VFS office on 22nd March 2013.

Needless to say, the status is still under processing at BHC.

Anyone in the same time frame??

It seems our time frame are similar..lets keep each other updated....

Just updating my wife's settlement visa timeline.

Submitted at VFS Kolkata - 2nd April 2013 (was supposed to submit it on the 22nd March but VFS wanted a SU07 Form..even though it is not required)

Waiting Waiting Waiting..

Anybody applied around that time.....??

I think you have enough documents. Sign the sponsorship letter. In addition you can get a letter from a solicitor to say you are sponsoring your spouse. If you need more time then reschedule the meeting. Hi! Diesel, Thanks for you reply. I have already signed a letter saying that I am sponsoring my...

Hi! All, I am so stressed at the moment and I need your help. My wife had an appointment at the VFS Kolkata, India today to submit her application for her spouse visa. The people at VFS told her that she needs to submit a “Sponsorship Undertaking Form” as well and they were pretty adamant (even thou...

I forgot to add Marriage Certificate, which I have added.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

Thank you for all your replies. Yes, one does not require Life in the UK test from outside the UK. I think they are making it a rule from Sep/Oct this year.

I will be applying for a Spouse Settlement Visa.

Anybody has an answer to my query ?

I don't need have one as I did not need to provide for my ILR (HSMP JR)

Does my wife need to sit for one ? I thought it will come into effect from Oct this year ?

Hello! All, I need your help with my case. I currently live in a studio flat and my landlord does not agree to couple renting it.

Not sure if I understand --- My first entry into UK was 10/08/2008 (76 days later)

I think you can apply 28 days before your Tier 1 expires. eg if it expires on 28th Nov then you can apply on the 1st of Nov.

Congrats to all of you who received the pp and biometrics. Now you all can sigh a breathe of relief. For all of us waiting, it is killing us. Sometimes it makes me wonder if there is something wrong with the application. 15 weeks now.

thanks for your reply. i didnt get it properly.... later is saying (number of people attending 1.) is this for me only or both of us me and my wife? if is it for both of us then why is it not saying number of people attending 2 or mention bring your partner with you..? anybody please can explain th...

Hi! Sheford, Nice work on the excel file. However, my application date still remains wrong. My application date is 16 / 06 /12 and not 26 / 06 /12. Could you kindly update it ?
