"We aim to make a decision on your application before 31 October. If for any reason we are unable to do so, we will write to you to update."
They did not say just that they would update by the 31st as you imply.

But the second part of the sentence covers all the bases, it's PITA that they haven't been able to make a decision, but that problem is down to the current inept government, and it's those people that voted for Brexit and reduced immigration.

This is something that UKVI do from our experience so far (and let's face, governments in general) - they say one thing, but when they fail at that or it turns out not to be the case they imply that they never said what they did all along.

They said they aim to make a decision before the 31st October & if they're unable to, they'll write to update.
I haven't got the update yet, so hoping they'll send decision b4 end of the day.
Feeling for all those who received the non-sense email today.

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.
Got the same email as everyone else.. unable to make the decision... seriously... it was such a heart break.. they can never imagine the trauma v r goin through.. especially people who are waiting past 6 months..
In the earlier mail there was atpeast some date like 31 Oct.. and now there is nothing.. until when should we keep waiting? 🙁
I am thinking of wasting my money and contacting their customer service .. whats say ? May be whoever of us has got this email we all could barge them with the status update email.. I doubt if that would even help.. these people don’t seem to care about the emotions.. all they have is a big fat sorry.. a sorry and they are done.. am so so so sad..

Absolutely nothing to do with the people who voted for or against Brexit.

If anybody else who has received the same email today can confirm whether or not their UK sponsor is self employed that would help bring some sense to this wait.

I have to disagree with that, Mike. The delay in processing visas is down to the processing of settlement visas being brought on-shore without adequate numbers of trained staff to process them, and also the Court ruling.

I don't believe the current delays were news on social media, news outlets or known by immigration advisors last year or previous years.
The current government pledged in their election manifesto to reduce net migration in 2010 (which they have failed on keeping year on year may I add). So this isn't old news and the latest general election this year has a mandate of 5 years and I can guess Brexit is it at the heart of it rather a 'few spouse' visas.
Second, Brexit has no corresponding relation to the assessment of spouse visas. Brexit is currently being delayed by the so a called UK divorce bill settlement and guarantees over the rights of existing settled Europeans within the UK prior to trade negotiations beginning.
Hence, the assessment and rules that will be used to allow existing Europeans to remain post Brexit have not even been designed or decided yet.

I am trying to jump on the back of the momentum to ask the question in order to establish a pattern of why we and who is waiting.
If anybody else who has received the same email today can confirm whether or not their UK sponsor is self employed that would help bring some sense to this wait.
