Highly doubt it, just look at their level of English.
People love to moan about having to wait 6 months, but if you were applying for a spouse visa for the US you would be looking at a 12 month wait.
So count yourself lucky if you only wait 6 months. Its not a matter of life or death. The sponsor can still visit the applicant while waiting for a decision. All this 'omg the wait is killing me omg I havent seen my spouse in xxx time' is such an overreaction. Get a grip and some perspective.

The UK charges you at least three times before you can gain Indefinite Leave to Remain.

Re: Spouse visa delays 2018?
been able to string a few sentences together does not mean you are intelligent , you sound more like <snip>l. To compare the US system with the UK is foolish, the US charges less than the UK and they charge you in stages so if you fail the first stage there is no more money to pay. The UK charges all the money up front which is more painful for aplicants. So to compare the two is farcical to be nice or just plain dumb

Canada charges everything up front and it also takes a year (or more if from a high fraud country, possibly a long as two years) to get a spousal visa from there. Even with delays the U.K. genuinely is far quicker than most countries, which is the point az2014 was (rather bluntly) trying to make.

this is my last post on here, I spoke about bias on here before and I have been proven to be right.someone disrespected a lot of people by saying there level of education is poor and those statements were allowed to stand. I found that offensive so I wrote that the person is an educated <snip> and my statement was stripped out.And it cost approximately 1200 Canadian dollars to sponsor a spouse or family member that is about £700 and it is also a 150 Canadian dollars per child, stop distorting the facts Britain is just more expensive period

It's rather unfortunate acd214..... I was in shock when I read what was said about peoples level of education. Very rude indeed.
Please try to be a little sensitive when responding to issues. This has everything to do with families. Not just husbands and wives but also children and parents. It gets a little frustrating. The same points can be made but in a subtle way.

They have no obligation to you whatsoever. Emigrating to a country other than your own is a privilege, not a right. No-one is forcing you to move to the UK so drop the sense of entitlement.

Every country have their own rules and regulations and as far as I know and also what I have experienced is that USA makes decision within their time frame. I don't care how long they take as long as they can give us some time frame or a reason for such a long delay. So at least we know HO hasn't forgotten about us.

I was talking about delays and HO not giving any time frame.

"DECISION" you are entitled to one and in a timely fashion as well Approval or Refusal.So next time you pay for something I hope you don't get it because you are not entitled to it
