Which visa did your husband apply for? An EEA Family Permit or a spouse settlement visa?

lindadarkwa

Its a family visa but not a permit visa which is 6 month

BritInParis

So a settlement visa? He selected Settlement->Settlement->Husband on the online application form? Which city did your husband lodge his application and which nationality of passport does he hold?

lindadarkwa

Yea a settlement visa. He did applued from Rome italy. And a mail was given to him by the shieffield visa section that his viisa is in their hamds

BritInParis

There is a considerable backlog at the moment due to the transfer of all settlement visa processing to Sheffield. 12 weeks is not unusual.

Sorry but i cant get ehat you said. Can u please make it clear it to me please thanks..

There are long delays at the moment. A 12 week wait is normal. Don't worry too much, just be patient.

There are big delays with applications due to so many being received so your 12 weeks isn't unusual, you will just have to wait until you hear from them.

lindadarkwa

I hear but they stated it is 12 weeks and a friend of mine did the same application in whicg it tool inky 2 weeks you know so i wondering why is ours delaying that much.

BritInParis

If your friend applied before April then that was the normal processing time at that time.
