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

It's not unusual to not receive a 'documents received' email.

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

Many people never receive an email confirming receipt of documents, it's not something to worry about (although I realise that a confirmation email is nice to get!)

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

grrr. You've already started your own thread to ask this question - please don't ask the same question in multiple places.

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

Priority service doesn't have anything to do with appeals, when you first apply for your visa you have a choice between standard processing or priority. Even if you've chosen priority for your...

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

Hi Tabi. Although there might be an outside chance that you'll get very lucky and your application approved with the late submission of your decree absolute, no one can say this with any certainty. ...

This has come up a few times but unfortunately there are no clues in the emails. Hopefully you won't have to wait too long.

Congratulations :thumbsup:

I'd like to thank you for the way you've been a role model for other applicants. Despite having your own issues with your application you've been a great source of...

This is a serious matter Sukiyaki. I strongly advise you to start a new thread reposting your post above - that way it will be more easily seen by some very experienced members here.

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

It's up to you but I wouldn't get an MP involved yet. The 'not straightforward' emails don't seem to be being sent in huge blocks like they were earlier and people who've applied more recently are...

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

Since the changes made in 2012, it's definitely more difficult and expensive to reach the ILR stage as a non-EU spouse of a British citizen and that's kept many British citizens from returning home...

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

I don't think the HO requested the documents, the OP omitted to send them with the application.

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

I must be unusual then - I voted for Brexit, my reasons were nothing to do with immigration (I'm very pro-immigration), and I'd rather chew off my right arm than vote Conservative :lol:

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

I have to disagree with that, Mike. The delay in processing visas is down to the processing of settlement visas being brought on-shore without adequate numbers of trained staff to process them, and...

I have a lot of respect for you, you have such a clear and sensible approach to all this despite your very long wait for a decision. I hope you get your visa approved, and very soon.

Stats from HMRC for the past 4 years:
HMRC figures also show that EU migrants more than pay their way. Those who arrived in Britain in the last four years paid £2.54bn more in income tax and...

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

It's a very frustrating time for everyone waiting for their visas, but do be careful not to set one group of immigrants against another. Freedom of movement is a fundamental right under the EU, of...

Well.....it is a different topic, so you're unlikely to get an answer to your question on a spouse visa chat thread. Suggest you repost your question in a new thread so long standing forum members...

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

I think it's more important right now to get your visa decision rather than refusing requests to send your documents, no matter how silly or unfair the request seems to be.

People should send hard...

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

Sounds like another HO stuff up, but if you've been asked to submit hard copies of the documents I think it's best if you do that.

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