Good Morning Ladies and gents this is your weatherman and here is the forecast...its going to rain approvals this week!

20-30th April applicants should be getting there approvals beginning of this week right to the end of the week...some have already received since end of last week.
01-10th May applicants should start getting theirs from Friday on wards.

Depending on your postal area and Royal mail service some may get theirs sooner...

PS: Only the straight forward applications should use the above reference. If you know your application has some major niggles l suggest you just wait patiently and hope its not longer than 6months
Good Luck Folks!

I'd like to let members know that part of my Visiting Visa counted towards my 3 year residency as I got ILR in September 2012. It is physical presence that really matters (if you are a British Spouse) provided all other regulations are followed.

Thanks to everyone who has made positive contributions on this site.

Wish you all the very best!!!

Well done. that was quick. We applied for my spouse. We have a asked to put slightly different name on the passport.

e.g. Maryben John Smith to Mary John Smith. Do you think/know if this is going to delay the applicaiton?
