Albanian Citizen

Post by Lulial » Thu May 12, 2016 8:11 pm

Hi,

I'm an Albanian citizen who is married to an English woman who lives in England. We have applied for a settlement visa at the beginning of April and I know I won't hear anything for a longtime. However, I want to know if there are any Albanians currently waiting to hear about a settlement visa either here in Albania or in England.

Thank you

What kind of visa did you apply Shqipe and where. I brought my wife from over there on a fiancée visa (you know the deal). We have applied for FLRM but still waiting for a response...

The OP has applied for a spouse settlement visa, clearly mentioned in his post.

Currently, most settlement applications submitted in Tirana are processed within 60 days.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

CR001 has no chill lol :D . As Casa confirmed the average processing time is 60 days but my wife's took more.

I'm not sure if teleperformance has speeded things up but my wife's was done when the embassy was dealing with visas directly and it was probably 60 days after the biometrics were given.

You can e-mail them after 60 days on the link below. I wouldn't waste my money calling them as it is too expensive and they won't know much about the case.

Pac Fat!
