It is annoying some countries find out so much more quickly that Egypt and regarding the "building works" said they would update further and haven't!!
I think someone in here said they don't call anymore. None of us had a call

At a guess sounds like sometimes they call, sometimes they don't. I would think they call if they need to clarify something.

I dunno so nervous and stressed out :( lol

Her situation is slightly different, she has lived in Egypt with her husband for 5 years so under the old rules she could apply that way.

Don't know what they asked her she only said a loads of questions, but I suppose it does sound promising for her.

I think they called her because they have many questions to ask her. I know one girl in the form her husband granted a visa she said they never call them

Ok the questions they asked were, does she still live with him, why did she want to go to the uk, does she intend to work, has anything changed since she applied

Please guy pray for me and I hope everyone will get it soon Yarb. My heart is beaten so fast

hello everyone
her situation is different according to rules if you lived with your partner abroad the uk for 4 years you got ( "Settlement Spouse/ CP (KOL REQ) )

it means her husbad can therefore apply for ILR as soon as he pass the Life in the UK test.

Ok so I have an update.

Just checked worldbridge and status has changed to 'with courier attempting delivery'.

We've had no email saying its on the way or SMS so I'm expecting the worse tbh plus the fact my friend had a call and I didn't.

Pray for us
