Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.
I applied from Edmonton with biometrics being done on July 17th so just a little ways behind you. I have not heard a peep since the email confirmation that my application was received in Sheffield on July 20th. October will be my 60 working day milestone.
Hi all,
Applied from Toronto Canada.
Biometrics: July 6th
Receipt email: July 8th(though it said received in New York...?)
Email on day 53 saying not straight forward.
Day 60 passed on September 28th.
I sympathize with everyone here. How hard it is to put your whole
life on hold with no way of guessing or planning when you will be able to make your next move! I am finding comfort(some sometimes panic!) with everyone's posts. Would love to hear if there are any others from Canada with a similar timeline to mine? Thank you everyone!

Re: Sheffield Settlement Visa +90 Day Delays
Fingers crossed those that have waited 90 days or more hear back this week and those that are approaching the 90 day mark too!

That tracker never works for me either. But the visa4uk, people keeps saying that it means nothing but the status changed from Complete to In active just a day before the decision was made. I believe you are one of those who have been waiting longest here. How about your online application status? Is it now Complete or In active? Perhaps for me it was just a coincidence.
There are more and more of us receiving positive decisions, let's hope it's just the beginning for many more to follow, soon.

Have a safe journey, just enjoy it now, you'll have a couple of days to settle down here before getting to work. Have fun and enjoy the positive experience now. Wrap up though, it's abit chilly here at the moment & wet.

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.
Hi all, I applied for a settlement visa since Feb’17 and still waiting to get a decision made and my passports returned. My timeline is stated below:
Biometric and documents scanned: 12 Feb 2017
Confirmation email of documents receipt in Sheffield: 14 Feb 2017
Non-straight forward email: 9 May 2017
Email asking for more documents (including sponsor’s P6M salary, which was included in initial documents sent): 9 May 2017
Response to enquiry email stating still within the timeline (even though P12W): 29 May 2017
Call to contact center made: 12 Jun 2017
Response from UKVI enquiry service, asking for application details for escalation: 23 Aug 2017
UKVI enquiry service email asking my registered email address to have application escalated: 6 Sep 2017
UKVI enquiry service email asking 15 days for investigation to occur: 7 Sep 2017
Sheffield Decision center email stating application still under consideration: 16 Sep 2017
Sheffield Decision center email on decision to be made before Oct 31st: 25 Sep 2017
That was my last communication I have received. Anyone else received further communication after the “31st Oct” email? This process has been most frustrating

No further communication in my case as well after 31st October email. I applied on 30th Dec. Who knows better than me how frustrating this process is!
