UK Spouse Visa STRICTLY TIMELINES ONLY - NO CHAT
 

re: UK Spouse Visa STRICTLY TIMELINES ONLY - NO CHAT
 

Despite Jerseygirl's post and example there followed several posts that were not timeline specific. Rather than delete those ,as should happen, I have moved the conversation into this thread called Chat about UK Spouse Visa

It has been asked several times now that the timeline thread remain for timelines only. Any other chat open a new topic or use the thread with the non timeline posts.

As has been stated, all non timeline posts will simply now be deleted. It needs to stay that way to remain open otherwise will be stopped as per the previous Timeline thread which did not keep to its purpose. Timelines.

For those who do not understand...this thread is for VISA TIMELINES ONLY. It is not to ask questions, ask for advice, air grievances or for chit chat. As BEVS posted in post #2 anything other than timelines should be posted in http://britishexpats.com/forum/citiz...hreads-899282/ ...or in a new thread.

Below is an example of what posts in this thread should look like...if it does not it will be deleted.

Thank you.
