I have already responded to tell him with all due respect you are full of <snip>
Well it sounds like there are a few of us who are in the 100 - 120 days club at the moment.

So it would be very interesting to start hearing people in this group receiving new anytime soon.

After chasing UKVI several times for a decision letter,we finally got the letter by email today .Our Application was refused because I left My husband two days after our wedding and why didn't I visit him or why didn't he make an effort to visit me..ECO noted that I was pregnant at that time and I had our child in uk .He was satisfied with everything apart from the fact we haven't any asset together,and not visited each other for more than one year .I spent 3 weeks with my hubby before our wedding and I had visited him several times prior to our wedding,we just got married so how does the ECO expect us to have assets together.OUR only asset is our child .I am definitely going for an Appeal.
Because I am a full time student ,I work as well and I could not travel in and out of Africa with heavy pregnancy .
Guys,do you think appeal is the best option for me please?

I'm hoping for the same! It's been 21 weeks... 105 days. Absolutely shocking! My kids miss their dad and are missing out on school! We are living out of suitcases

Alternatively a new thread - could we moderate that ourselves?
I am ok with all forms of generating attention as we are powerless to circumvent the rules that the HO UKVI have designed to be extremely favorable towards them only.

I would ask you do the following though like I have mentioned earlier today -

The journalist who wrote the following article

https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/...a-applications
is Amelia Hill.

You can email Amelia directly at <snip>
(refer to https://www.theguardian.com/help/contact-us)

Please share your experience with Amelia in an email. I hope enough of us emailing her might want spark an interest in tackling another Border Agency story.

An appeal could take longer than the application process, so it's entirely up to you what route you want to take. If it was me i'd put in the application again, do you have the exact wording of the refusal? Maybe post it on here so others can take a look at it.

Oh sorry to hear that. Had you tried to consult a solicitor? Maybe the solicitor could fight your case. The solicitor will give you advice too and tell you what to do, it's either Appeal or reapply.

We need some more numbers to join up before approaching the press in order for it to be a coordinated and effective effort.

Default Sheffield Settlement Visa +90 Day Delays

Hi folks. For general posts regarding the delays at Sheffield please go to the MERGED thread.

This thread is to gain an insight of who has been waiting for more than 90 working days and to get an idea of any 'group' representation / action we might want to consider. Clearly our MPs are getting nowhere.

I suggest we each initially share the following information

Date of Biometrics

Location of Biometrics

Date of email receipt from Sheffield

Location Constituency of your sponsors MP

I can't believe you're still waiting for a decision on your wife's visa. I'm so sorry
