Joint application processing time - Please share

[jamesinderby]

Hello friends

Called HO yesterday asking for an update on my application. I said it's nearly three months now and I was a little worried. The advisor's first reaction was, is this a joint application? I said yes but didnt' press her further. Now I wonder if joint applications tend to take longer to process.

If you are/were in similar situation, please can you share your experience/timeline etc?

Thank you

It doesnt really matter, you should hear in 10-12 wks and there is still time as you should count from the day fee was taken.

The UKBA won't give any information other than a standard reply until a minimum of 14 weeks have passed.
