I thought things were going too well...
 

Just had the wind taken out of my sails re my fiance visa app.

Everything was submitted some time ago, but there was a prob lem with my police check (they'd spelt my name wrong!). I was asked to get another, and was given 28 days to do so or they'd consider my application without it. Great i thought, I'll get a decision in just over a month. I got the new police check and off it went within the 28 days.

I hadn't heard anything so i sent a quick e-mail asking when I might hear (I know, I know, I shouldn't have done this) anyway, I got a reply saying that these things now have a 4 month turnaround!! Another 4 months! I'm gutted, I really thought I'd be hearing anytime now! My own fault I know but......

I've tried searching for more info on here, but its all a bit vague on fiance visas. Does anyone have any recent experience of how long it took them to hear after everything was definately in?

As ever, any help appreciated. :)

Lately front-loaded straight forward applications in London have been granted in a matter of weeks! Don't panic too much I think thats their standard reply to emails just to cover themselves :)

Hope so. Another 4 months will drive me mad! (der)

Thanks BKate. :)

Yeah, that is there standard reply. Officially it is 4 months.

Unfortunetly for WBB, his did actually take about that long. But that really is an exception.
Now, if yours now also takes 4 months, that'll be a warning to not email them to ask how long! :D
Or it could be because of the extra complications: WBB had to send in extra stuff, and you had to get the pcc again.

But, I really think that it'll be shorter than that.
