Patience is a virtue for all of us.
I thought it'd be more appropriate to say "The processing of your post has not been straightforward and we are unable to meet the forum's moderator service standards. We continue to work on your post and will amend your post as soon as we are able to. We cannot give a timescale for when this matter will be sorted."
Hope this injects some humour at least in everyone's day.

It does rather so have some BE karma for that.
I am not per the onboard computer Holly in Red Dwarf so as per my other post there may be some time delay depending in what part of the universe you reside.
Meanwhile being polite to and about the BE moderators who give of their free time to keep the cogs of all BE running smoothly costs nothing, for posters do not see all that they do nor the time they give.

Re: Chat about UK Spouse Visa . - off topic posts re timeline v chat threads
With the best will in the world I am not able to read private messages whilst I am asleep.
I read your message which appeared in my inbox this morning and I have responded within an hour or two of reading this.
Patience is a virtue isn't it. Particularly with anything to do with immigration visas & even sometimes with allowing admin time to wake up and respond.

As mods, we have to balance the needs and requests of all the forum members, but I'm sure BEVS, JG & the rest of the mods will try and find a solution that works for as many as poss.

Hi All
Does anyone know why the online tracker is not working anymore please ?It showed
our decision was made on the 7th of August,we received our passport without a decision ,there was no visa or refusal letter but we received an email that a decision has been made ,we escalated on the 18th but have not heard from them ,Sponsor's MP is involved now . The online tracker shows number not recognised ,it used to show DECIDED.
This is very CONFUSING.No visa,no stamp,no refusal letter.We are waiting to hear what ukvi have to say.

Hi Gary,
New to the forum, but not new to waiting for UKVI. This has been the best (and only) information we have been able to find anywhere regarding these delays. I applied for a spouse settlement visa from Spain (priority) on May 22. Still waiting. Escalated after the 60th business day. Re-escalated today (Day 75) as had not received any response. We contacted our MP as well, and it looks like they didn't respond to him either... radio silence all around.
Thanks,
Akilah

Did you have any emails stating your case was not straightforward or anything like that?
We are on day 50, also applied priority from Spain and reading that just knocked me sick

I did receive the email stating that there was a delay and the case was "not straightforward", but not until Day 60 when we called and escalated the case with Customer Service. It really seems that they are using those as a way to extend processing times.
After almost four months away from my husband, this whole experience has been gutting. I thought I would be away for three weeks, and have missed an entire season (as well as a friend's wedding and my birthday). Something's got to give soon!

Re: Chat about UK Spouse Visa . - off topic posts re timeline v chat threads
Hi everyone, I am new to the forum and have been following for the last few months now. I would like to thank everyone for posting as it has been of immense help!!!
Bio metric date for my partners application was 02/05/2017 -non-priority- 85 working days completed
I would really appreciate if anyone could enlighten me with my concern:
I passed probation in my current position at the end of Jan 2017, however my wage up until that point was £18,550 nevertheless was meeting the financial threshold by completing overtime. On passing probation I now earn above the threshold. My question is:
All my six payslips provided to HO are fluctuating due to overtime completed and the first few slips are based on old wage with overtime. Could there possibly be any problems from HO due to old wage and new wage?
My workplace has confirmed the above in a cover letter.
I have not heard anything from HO since submitting and on contacting recently have been advised my partners application is awaiting a decision, is this a good sign?
I do apologise if I have posted on the wrong forum? Sorry for the long Essay!!
Thank you � ����
