Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

Depends on where the vignette is being inserted in the passport and how it’s being sent. British diplomatic mail is notoriously slow.

:goodpost:

Excellent post. It is a box ticking exercise with little room for nuance. If you tick all boxes, then you get your visa. If you don’t, then sorry, no go. Yes, there’s not much of the...

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

I’m afraid you’ll just have to wait. There appears to be a fad on this forum for contacting MPs but I’ve seen no evidence to suggest it will ever speed up a decision. A Parliamentary enquiry used to...

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

That’s probably not helping matters. Anything else about your circumstances which could cause a delay?

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

Applying whilst pregnant wasn't a great move if you're going to give birth in Ghana. Another seven month wait for your second child's passport and your 30 day vignette will be long expired. What...

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

Re: MERGED: Spouse Visa Issues with Sheffield +Spouse Visa Chat Thread.

You needed to have a job offer starting within three months of your intended travel date. Providing that was the case when you applied then you don't need to do anything else.
