Timeline for priority spouse visa application

Post by meg1986 » Thu Nov 30, 2017 10:52 pm

Hi,

I'm Australian and my husband is a British citizen. We have applied for a settlement spousal visa and paid extra for the priority visa service. I was wondering if anyone with a similar background has applied and how long it took them to get their passport back.
Thanks

There is a lengthy topic on spouse visa delays. HO dealing with enormous backlogs, even priority service is taking more than 60 days.
