I have collected my passport this morning and visa is granted.

Thanks to all in this forum. Your contributions kept me going throughout the waiting period.
I wish every one still waiting to get their visa and join their spouse.
God bless you all

Is anybody on a spouse visa allowed a NHS Maternity Exemption Certificate if they are pregnant?

Hi there!

I’m Andrea I would like you to help me with 2 questions... hope you can do it!

This is my case: Always that I apply for a UK visitor visa through VFS GLOBAL the British embassy in Bogotá send me 3 emails.

1st one says they recieve my documents.

2nd one says that an officer is checking my case.

3rd one is to deliver my passport to my home through DHL.



BUT now that they are sending ALL spouse visas to Sheffield I recieved an email that says “your visa now is in consideration by an Entry Clearance Officer...I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF...you recieve an email again form Sheffield office? or from VFS global? or the British embassy from the country you applied from?

I’m asking this because on the email says “A further email will be sent to you to confirm when your application has been assessed and dispatched. If your application was made in a Visa Application Centre, the staff there will contact you when your documents are ready”... I’m a little bit confuse so I would appreciate if any of you that already received an answer knows from where will come the further email ?


Do you know if the women that applied for spouse visa this year are receiving delays emails?

(Hope you understand my bad English LOL)

Thank you in advance!

Hi, this thread is really just for chat rather than specific questions.

Please do start new threads with your questions and I’m sure people will be happy to help.

Hi guys good news from me, finally got my passport back today and it’s a big fat YES! Although it took 60 working days for a priority application, we are still so happy that we’ve got it now! Just wanna say a huge thanks to everyone on this forum that keeps supporting each other to get through this hard and horrible waiting time. Those who are still waiting, stay positive and it will come in the end! Thank you all again

Siyami

Waaoow congratulations my dear. I know u are over the moon and back as I did yesterday when I received my passport and saw the fattest and biggest yes.

Every one in this forum has been of great support to one another.

Wish you all the best as you join your spouse. We pray all those still waiting to have smiles on their faces soonest. Our Lord is good all the time and all the time our Lord is good

I will be very grateful to get help here.

I submitted a settlement visa application since 15th of February - but I just realised that there might be need to include more proof of relationship - as I just heard of someone who got rejected on this basis.

Can I still send this supporting documents to the Sheffield office and how can I get this done.

Yes! I was on a spouse visa, had my baby there, had my Maternity exemption card as well. Its part of the universal health services, you are also allowed statutory maternity pay unless you have never payed any taxes, might as well check!

I have now been separated for 8 months... we had to first submit the application for my son's passport, granted after 10 weeks of waiting..... I have 2 children who are british Citizens, my husband who is a full British citizen... submited visa in January..... i am really starting to loose hope... struggling to overcome this lurking depression.... a situation where there are children involved,., their SLA should be shorter... it feels like a breach of human rights... the rights of both children and parents to be together... I don't know how put a smily face ion front of my children anymore, saying, we will soon be together again.....

Can you're husband and children not live in your home country?

Update:
Received all the docs including the copies back
EXCEPT for the bank statements I sent over again later on

Does that mean they didn't take a look at it?

Today is working day 60 of my priority spouse visa application (biometrics done on Jan 15, documents received Jan 16). I received the usual "your application is not straightforward" email March 15th, and have heard nothing since.

I'm wondering what everyone's experience is with contacting the call center to escalate cases. They say that this can take up to 15 working days to process, is this seemingly always the case?
Are there any instances of a priority visa actually taking more than ~60 working days (is it possible that it could go up to the maximum 120 days)? I haven't seen any that took more than 65-66 working days in the timelines.

I'm getting anxious about it at this point, but I really don't know that contacting them is the best course of action, or if that could possibly just slow things down more.

Don't worry. I didn't stamp every paper of bank statement. My visa is approved. Today I get pasport.
Good luck everyone
