Update-
After waiting for exactly 9 months my partner got the visa today.
Thanks people on this forum for all the help and support.

I can say stay positive and you will get positive results. And by the grace of the almighty it did.

No one here should lose hope if your documents are all correct, UKIV will take time but you will get the visa.

Thanks again all

[someguyIguess]

Visa Type: Wife (Settlement)
Application From: Zambia
Application Date: 22 October
Premium / Non Premium: Premium
Biometrics: 26 October
ECO Email: No ECO (or any other) Email
Decision made email: 22 November
Visa collected (success!): 23 November
Processing Location: Pretoria, not Sheffield

Pretty quick timeline compared to many above. While I can't be sure, I think we were helped by some or all of these things:

1. We got a solicitor to look at our application, but actually drafted/organised it ourselves. This meant we hadn't missed anything but equally, it didn't look formulaic.
2. My wife had incurred a 4 figure NHS charge while she was in UK before and it had been paid off in full by myself in cash. Furthermore, she had complied with her previous visa which she was on when we met. These both showed ability and intent to play within the rules.
3. I'm trying to find a way to word this without sounding like a prick, but it is fairly obvious from our financial and family situation (as well as the evidence we collected) that this was a love marriage and not me doing it to make a couple of quid or her to emigrate in desperation.
4. We had got married on the Isle of Man (protip: there's no 90 day notification period there and you can get married there on any UK visa so long as you didn't enter UK with the intent of getting married against your visa conditions. Plus it's a lovely place well worth going to anyway. Recommended!). I suspect this is easier to verify for them.
5. Applying from Zambia. Why?
5a. Zambia is a stable and decent country by regional standards without any significant level of visa fraud.
5b. Quite unusually reading other threads here, this meant the visa was processed in Pretoria, which seems to be quicker than Sheffield.

Hi All Experts, Just a question: I sent all supporting documents to Sheffield to support my wife's application along with appendix 2 but I didn't send the signed application form.

In document guidence it was mentioned that include online application only if there are some changes in it. Did i do the right thing to not to include application form with supporting documents?

[Londoner007]

At the end of the online application, there is a prompt for singing the form online. If you have that signature (usually you sign with just name) on the printed application, don't worry as it's already been submitted now.

But you should have really signed it!

@ Momi867 people are busy planning for their husband / wife to arrive here.

Usually people talk alot asking for help through application and once a visa is granted majority of the people don't bother coming back to the forum.

It can take 1-2 weeks for the call for passport collection.

Thanx for answering buddy.. its been 65 WD passed .. still waiting

I've been waiting for 9 months with no reply have to have patients

Hi My friend, I am wondering whether you have received anything yet from HO. I am in the same position. 5 months since submission and heard back nothing yet.

I've been waiting nearly 2 weeks since submitting the new passport. And they said decision is made but still not got passport back after nearly 2 weeks wat can I do this is just frustrating

[Mrin]

Hi, I got to know that Sheffield took positive decision on my application on or before October 29. But still now I didn’t receive the passport. VFS in Dhaka is saying that Sheffield did not send the decision to British High Commission in Dhaka. That is why they cannot give me back my passport. Anyone here had the same experience as mine? Any suggestions? Please let me know.

Hi How did you know about the positive decision please? As long as i am aware UKVI call centre or emails don't give you any details about the outcome of the decision !!!

BRP team wrote to me that my BRP is ready to collect from post office.

[RomRom87]

anyone from Algeria applied recently? I under stand processing time is different for each country

Hi, momi, have you heard anything from UKVI? I escalated my case several times. Last Friday they sent me an email saying that they have technical problem with my application. I don’t understand what does that even mean because my decision has already been made. Please let us know if you hear anything from them. Thank you.

[afshin86]

hi
does anyone know dor appeal how long take time
or its better to appky again uf yiur case get refused

[randomhero]

Hi Afshin; what was the reason of your refusal?

I think re-applying is the best option if you can afford it. According to my research appeal can take upto 12 months.
