Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
What is the error? Ours had the wrong applicant name (ie, they put me down as the applicant, but I'm the Aussie). I just changed it on the form.... no problems. You could put a covering letter in saying that there is an error and we are arranging for a new one to be sent, but my guess is that the visa would be issued before this is required anyway.
can't believe you had exactly the same problem!!I eventually spoke to my friend yesterday and she is sending a new Stat Dec anyway.
BTW - I know this is off the topic slightly but I got my UK naturalisation through today. (this took roughly only 6 weeks!) I thought it would take months.

I guess we think it is obvious because we are living and breathing it 24hrs a day...

Re: Spouse Visa Circle - join here!
Hi everyone - loads of great info on this thread. Certainly is alot to read!!!
I have been married to hubby for nearly 4 years, together for 4 and a bit (my UK visa was running out!) and the whole frontloading thing has really got us thinking.
My ticket is booked for May next year and hubby is coming a month later - from other posts this seems to be fine - my concern is how quick you need to validate the visa once issued. When I got my first UK working visa, it was dated only three months from issue and I didn't get here for 6, so I lost out - does anyone know what the time scale is after issuing if there is one?
Cheers

Hi.
My OH and I are considering a spouse visa. I'm just wondering how long it is taking people to get a visa these days? (I know it depends on which country you're from etc, but it just would be great to get a rough indication from you guys at this stage).
Thanks heaps and good luck with your visas all!!
Cheers,
V.
