We got it too. It might have something to do with the conservative party conference in Manchester. They maybe don.t want anyone to make waves and they will be well aware of the anger on the visa forums and the possible repercussions if they get any bad publicity

I received the same email today as well with the October 31st deadline after sending an email enquiry. Hopefully they stick to the deadline!

I got in touch with them through email. They said they have escalated my application and will be in touch with me in 15 working days, which will be on coming Friday (The 15 working day deadline).
I hope I get some positive news very soon.
How about you? did you hear something?

Re: Sheffield Settlement Visa +90 Day Delays
Dear Sir/Madam,
Thank you for applying for a UK visa.
Due to it being our busiest period, I am afraid we are unable to make a decision on your application within our usual timescale. We aim to make a decision on your application before 31 October. If for any reason we are unable to do so, we will write to you to update.
Staff at the visa application centres or contact centres have no influence on cases and cannot provide any further advice so we recommend you do not attend or call the contact centre. Please do not go to the Visa Application Centre until you have received written confirmation that a decision has been made on your application and that your passport is ready to be collected.
We understand this will be frustrating to you and regret any inconvenience caused.
We will contact you shortly to update you on what is happening
Thank you for your understanding.
Kind Regards,
UK Decision Making Centre

Worth taking a look at this spreadsheet which pretty much proves they are manipulating the numbers by leaving late applications on the shelf and keeping the processing date for others around the 60 day mark.

We are in week 30 (>150 days) and we received the same Dear Sir/Madam, 31st October obfuscating email as well. Words fail me, as I do not understand how a Government instrumentality can treat its citizens so badly.

Re: Sheffield Settlement Visa +90 Day Delays
Such a cop-out. But anyone who’s inside of time probably has nothing to worry about as they’re probably trying to keep on top of the current applications, and not worry too much about the extra late ones. Do just enough to keep the masses grumpy but not revolting.

No they won’t read it. Have had plenty of experience in that. Keep rattling your MPs cage. They work for you. Fingers crossed for you it comes before.

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.
Why don't you go to UK, settle and then your wife goes later with her visa? I married in march 2016, applied on June that year and was refused on the relationship and financial because my bank statements were not dated. Ok , I appealed. But I went to uk to see my husband on September 2016 and waited there the answer. The appeal failed and the letter they approved the relationship but asked me from letters of my pensions providers. I stayed in uk with my tourist visa until expired in March. Came back to my country and made a fresh application this year in June, now with absolutely all criterias redundelly met. After three months the passport came with the visa. So was one year and five months and almost 5 thousand dollars in fees that I got my visa. But I have got it. If I can give any advice to anyone reading this is: don't give up your house in your country while apllying for spouse visa, you may never get , at least you are in your house , in your country. And before marrying, be sure you can bring the spouse to your country...
