Ooo 🤔🤔🤔 thank you for the clarification 😉 I dont think this is applicable to me (i think..) coz i am applying from outside of UK.. 😔

On August 17th I received an email that "your online application has been received". I am confused because I see that some people get an email confirming receipt of documents? I have not had that email; am I supposed to??

Only the sponsor (your husband) can contact the MP for the constituency in which he lives. If your husband has a permanent address in the UK then he can email the MP for that area even though currently based abroad. Maybe the Army can apply pressure to get you a decision. Here are the 2 people ultimately responsible for workings of immigration: ---

Minister of State for Immigration -The Rt Hon Brandon Lewis MP

Civil Servant Head - Mark Thomson -Director General, UK Visas and Immigration

Some do, some don't.

Ok. That's a bit unsettling

82 working days since documents received in Sheffield.

27 working days since declared non-straightforward for one document, which was provided in 53 minutes.

Two wedding dates sailed past. Tens of thousands in lost income. A spring and a summer together lost forever. Good faith of friends and family nearly destroyed.

Why?

I am so, so sorry Looks as though we are all going to be in this mess together.

Yes, we are somehow ready to get the someone high up in the rank to push them for a decision. We need to go back to the UK by early Dec, will be posted out to Germany in Jan 2018. Prior to that, i need to get a Germany visa as accompanying soldier as a dependant. So i pray that everything comes in time. We receive no news no emails so far. So by 60th working day, i'll get my cannon ready for them. Lol.

Hi all,

We are waiting in Hong Kong - 32 days and counting. Just wanted to share this (depressing) article - seems the Home Office is really in chaos. Hope we all get our visas very soon!

You'll probably, well most likely end up with one of their standard email replies.

Sophie28

Hi Thea, let me know how it goes with the VFS alright?

Hi

I am new here,

This is very worrying for me, I'm English and live in England and trying to bring my wife over from Thailand. She applied in Bangkok and used the scan option.

We also paid the priority, I thought this would be approved within 10-15 days.

So its only been like 10 days but I am worried because she is pregnant with our first child and only has 9 weeks until she can not fly. So if it does not come in time I'm going to have to leave my job and life here and move over there. Or miss the birth of my son, which I WILL NOT DO.

Come one Sheffield sort it out.
