Default Waiting Times - Priority Settlement Visa UK

Hi all,

I've applied for a priority settlement visa - I'm 7 months pregnant and on day 27 of the 30 BD timeline given. I'm starting to get really nervous that this is going to drag on forever. How long has everyone waited recently?

Settlement Visa - Priority
Biometrics - 15th January 2019
Australian National but applied from Ireland
Email saying that it was being processed by a clearance officer - 4th February 2019
Email requesting an extra document - 15th February 2019

The 30 BD will be up on February 26th. I've read you can "escalate" after the 30 days but I'm not sure what it entails? Any advice greatly appreciated.

Ireland? Is your husband British? Have you been living together in Ireland? What’s your current immigration status?

Hiya,

Yes my husband is British. We met in London while I was living in the UK on a working holiday visa - it expired in 2017. I went back to Australia but the long distance was getting difficult so I'm now in Ireland on a working holiday visa. He lives in London still - for work purposes but comes to Dublin as much as possible.

But he’s living and working in the UK?

Okay. How are you meeting the financial requirements and what was the extra document that was requested? How long have you been married?

We were married at the start of December 2018. I found out I was pregnant in September.

We are meeting the financial requirements Part 3c, category F, Self- employment. He makes well over the threshold of 18,600

I gave them;
Most recent tax return
12 months personal bank statements
Invoices for 2017/2018
letter from a qualified accountant
Upcoming contracts and invoices for 2019 to provide evidence of on going self employment (he has been self-employed for 10 years)

The document I forgot - which was COMPLETELY MY FAULT was the Sa-302 from the online HMRC portal. I put the tax return in but forgot that...!

Okay, so they’ve only just received it. I wouldn’t worry too much at the moment.

Usualky when they are requesting docs it’s a positive and means someone is looking at the docs the decision email will come soon after.

good luck

Thank You Sammy - I decided on Friday night to send the escalation email as I had read it takes two days for them to respond to it and I got an email back this morning saying they’d tracked the application and it has been processed and a decision has been made and I should get the email tomorrow!

Also - I’ve been following your journey - Congratulations! I know it was a longer time for you and I’m so glad you’ve made it!

Wonderful news !!
Once you get the decision made email you will then be tracking UPS .
For us UPS triggered early evening it was actually picked up at 4:50pm. If you have UPS next day air docs and passport usually arrive back around 10:30am if not before

We are traveling to the UK this evening and arrive tomorrow and I just read it’s 63 degrees in Manchester today .. not bad for winter
