Settlement Spouse Visa From Canada

Post by 4redhead » Wed May 17, 2017 8:28 pm

I submited my application in Toronto, Canada on March 16. I sumbitted my Biometrics on the same day in the Toronto office. I received an automated reply from Sheffield on March 17, 2017 to advise that the application had been received. I've heard nothing since. I did pay the "Priorty Fee" of £450 to have my application processed within 6 - 8 weeks. Of course it didn't happen. I also paid 5 years worth of health charge surcharges. I started emailing and phoning. Each time I telephoned (at approxmately $15.00 Cdn per call) I am told that they don't have any record of my GWF number. I asked for the issue to be accelerated. I then received an email asking me to scan and email my Priority Visa receipt (so they obviously didn't have it!). I emailed them the copy on the same day. I've heard nothing since. They have taken money from me falsely with the promise of a service that they had no intention of providing. They have my passprt - I have had to cancel holidays and trips because of that. I have submitted a formal complaint to Home Office (they will respond within 20 days!) It has so far cost me over £3,000.00 for a simple, straight forward vis.

My husband of over 25 years is a British National and lived there for 40 years before moving to Canada. I lived in the UK for two years with Indefinite Leave to Remain. I still have my NI number. I pass every single application requirement including the financial means. I have never been convicted of a crime, never collected benefits and have no health problems. I do not understand why this is taking so long and why I have not heard anything from the issuing office.

I am so ticked off!

Has anyone else from Canada had this type of issue?
