Default Settlement visa delay

Hi,
The application and biometrics was done on 19/06/2017
Type- settlement to join husband who is a British citizen
Applied as priority and all documents submitted . Received a response providing a GWF number. No news since then and it is now 54 working days since biometrics. UK visas say 100 percent are processed within 60 days. Anyone else in a similar situation??

Yep, lots are - from what I've read there are huge delays at the moment and the 60 days processing is no longer applicable.

But The Welcome Inn is really just a place to say hi, so pop over to our family visas section in the Moving Back to the UK forum (http://britishexpats.com/forum/citiz...-visas-uk-196/), you'll find a few threads there about the spouse visa delays.

Good luck.

Has anyone applied for a settlement visa from Cochin, India? It is now day 54 and the contact centre in the UK has escalated it 3 times. They told me that this is a time for foreign students awaiting visas to join UK universities, hence the delay.
Had anyone else waiting heard something similar??

This forum is purely to 'meet and greet' new members to our forums. Please use the link in post #2 and open a new thread in the UK Immigration forum.

Thank you.
