Dont worry plz they will be sending their response eventually and it will be a POSTIVE ONE
And we r all on the same boat they have a backlogg this is what I have been said at TLS contact morocco and this is what is said in all forums so just be patient, and we r lucky because we paid for priority because non priority applications are taking up to 6months to receive an asnwer, so cheer up ur anwser is on the way back to you

[QUOTE=Rez;12314344]Actually what's wrong with these people??? This is ridiculous! I am so hopeless about mine now. Do they need 3 months to evaluate a relationship whether it is genuine or not whereas other countries would take maximum 4 weeks to process a spouse visa.[/QUOTE

Yesterday I also received a text from DHL saying that a package is being sent. So naturally I think that my supporting docs are being sent back to me. Guess what, I check the address and the package is being sent from Lambeth to Sheffield and the sender has a foreign name. Maybe Philippino!! I wonder why I have the text message so ring DHL today who tell me my name contact will be taken off but wont explain the sender. What I don't know is whether this package is connected with me or not, its just bizarre. I feel like I am going round in circles like a headless chicken.

We might all be in the same boat, but the current shambles is a poor reflection on the UK - more inline with a banana republic than a supposedly first world country. The whole process from trying to discover what is required for successful app. to ultimate decision is shambolic. HMG might be trying to get immigration numbers down, but treating applicant/sponsor with contempt is not the way to go about it.

Thanks for the advice. When we contact the inquiry service no one can seem to tell us whats up. Today we got a response from our MP and he says he's on the case so hopefully that will resolve things soon.

Default Re: Chat about UK Spouse Visa . - off topic posts re timeline v chat threads

Hi all,

I am a Canadian who on July 7th applied to be with my husband in England. This was our second application as last year we were refused for not showing efficient evidence of meeting financial requirements. We have re submitted an application that satisfies all requirements, and are now wondering when we will hear back.

I understand that there are major delays, and am wondering if there are any Canadians who were notified that their applications were sent to New York instead of Sheffield ( as our first one was, and also my tier 5 before that). I am a teacher and start work in my new classroom in September and am hoping that by some miracle the visas processed in New York may be faster?

I would be grateful to know of any groups for Canadians specifically, or if anyone could answer my questions here.

Wishing everyone the best as we are separated from family and loved ones.

I know the feeling! Even I am like a headless chicken going through all blogs as much as possible to gain some clarity. Life has become so much miserable just because of this.

I submitted my application online in May and my husband couriered our supporting documents from UK through Royalmail and they also returned them to us in June.
