I contacted my local MP yesterday so hopefully they can find out what's happening. My wife also received an email today that our application remains under consideration and unable to to decide application within customer service target. "We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make decision as soon as possible over the coming days". It's been nearly 4 months and still not received documents back. Has anyone got this email and how long did they wait before a decision was made? thanks for your time.

When did u do ur biometrics

My husband did biometrics on 18th december...i also have a new update...i emailed ukvi on 28th june n they asked for information which i provided and i had reply today telling me they escalated the case today n i should hear back from 15 working days which is excluding sat/sun...in about three weeks so lets hope i get a quick response in sha allah

[Y123m]

Update- My MP’s secretary rang UKVI again today as its the 69th day since biometrics. He was told a decision was made on 15th june. He was also told a review on the decision took place on 22nd June and another review took place on 2nd July. Does anyone know why reviews take place, not only once but twice. The MP’s secretary has requested UKVI to immediately send the passport and documents back.

[MrsYounis]

Insha'Allah. Have lots of sabr and Allah swt will make it easy.
I rang them and they told me a decision was made on the 21st June.

Hi All,

I thought I would post my timeline on here..

I am a British citizen and applied for a spouse visa for my husband in Tunisia.

Online Application Submitted + Paid Fees (non priority) - 14/05/2018
Biometrics Appointment - 24/05/2018
