Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.
Hi All,
My partner had email and text today to say to collect documents from VFS Bangkok. Applied 28 April, Biometrics 4 May, had not straightforward email end May, escalated twice and wrote to MP although not clear any action taken and also had the 31 Oct email last week.
Will have to wait now until tomorrow to know if we got it or not but does look like they are trying to meet the 31 Oct deadline. Here's hoping for us all!

I hadn't received any other emails or contact since I had received the confirmation of application arrival at Sheffield email on July 20th. After looking at the timelines for the last couple of months I was prepared for a longer wait π fingers crossed for everybody still waiting on a decision x

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.
Hi,
I have noticed, everyone seems to know where Visa is being processed.
In my email that said Documents have been received by UKVI...it didn't specify which country or city its being processed in.
I applied from Nairobi, Kenya.
also...I'm at about 45days since the Email that UKVi has received my documents etc...
Am i to just sit tight and wait for an email? or am I to call and ask?
where do I call if that is the case?
