Spouse Visa Question

[rai75]

I have applied for my wife to come to england via the spouse visa.

How long does it take to get a decision? someone said 90days.

Does you exclude weekends in the 90 days? what about holiday, as there are so many in India are they exclude too?

Can you advise as I can not track the progress

thanks

The current published decision time for applications from India as recorded in February is 100% decided in 60 days. That is working days excluding Bank Holidays and weekends so 12 weeks. You can check by country and VAC on gov.uk - Visa processing time.

However, there seems to be a delay in processing some applications at the moment regardless of where the application was made. However, it is unclear as to what the actual grounds are. There is a lot of speculation on this site but I don't think anything is officially confirmed.

Did you pay for priority?

Did not know about priority - just got my solicitor sort it out but he is not much help.

Just says wait.

When you say working days are we talking about UK working days - as India have a lot of holiday day.

It's UK working days. So Indian holidays do not matter.

Good Luck
