The delay is simply between Priority application and normal application.
The cost of priority application has to be justified. Did you pay for priority application? If not, the wait is normal.

How far, this people are really trying my patience o. Have you tracked your application again. I did today and it's still not even being considered. What is all this delay for abeg. My husband has an interview in two weeks and I was really hoping he would hit the ground running but as it is he may not make the interview. This wait is insane. Anyway I just missed the rant.

tunderule2016:
It is so annoying... this people are so unfair , i made some calls yesterday and i was told they intentionally do it to our applications... I did not pay for priority because i read it on the page that one should not pay for priority for settlement visa. I found out that that Notice on the page is false. I cannot believe they are doing such to Nigerians...because most other applications whom submitted around 20th of march and above they have started receiving there visas. Why would he not make the interview? what is wrong ?

when you tracked was it no updates they sent to you or what did they say?

Lexusgs430:



Patience I hear they say, is a virtue!!!! If applications are deemed valid, they would have no choice but to issue a visa.
Enjoy the sun, lack of power, lack of fuel etc etc etc. When UK pressure hits the applicant(s), they would look back and wish!!!!!

tunderule2016:
Mr lexus i am patient..... myself and zinfly has the way we have our convo.... definitely am patient.... But it is just wrong at times when you see the way other countries application are treated compare to the way we are treated... There is so much one can do .... As for lack of power.... i am covered, fuel also covered.... Sun ( partially covered..) as for etc..... I guess you are amongst the etc... so am coping with you lolol....

have a lovely weekend

Hi Banky04
Nothing yet is been 2weeks now but still waiting. How abt you?

Hi Ekpotek,

You are doing a great job sir
I got questions to ask, for non EU who got eea 6 months permit in Nigeria travelling to UK to settle with his wife however, to avoid immigration problem;

1)Do I need a return ticket to show to immigration?
2)What are the likely questions that will be asked by the immigration?
3) what should I expect being the first time travelling to UK.

Thanks so much.

ekpotek:


You must be armed with documentation to proof that your spouse is living in the UK and has permit to stay. Sure the UK immigration will drill you. So have with you, marriage certificate or proof of relationship. Phone number of spouse in case they need to call her. Her house address, where she is working etc. Also be ready to answer questions about the relationship as was filled in your visa application. Sure you can buy a one way ticket. Just be claim and look direct into their eye and answer their questions. For your third question, visit to find out yourself.

Help family, my husband submitted form on 20th of Feb. Interview on 10 of march.when is his likely to get a response.cos the wait is killing me softly abegooo.

Lexusgs430:



Did you pay for priority application? If not, join tunderule2016 and a host of others on this emotionally tasking role.
Tell husband his wait would be over soon. He should use the intervening waiting period, to enjoy the scenery and other enjoyable factors.

LMAOOO .... abi oo bruv... the ship is big though so she is allowed lolol.... You said it all the best thing to do all needed to do before things are sorted with them... One thing everyone should be on the look out for is the IHS 600 pounds fee... if refunded then application is denied.. but if other wise , then still keep enjoying the ship oo.. God is our strength..

Lexus hope your week is going good... stay blessed..

Hi everyone

This is my full storry .....

I'm Moroccan, got married in UK with a British man which he is originally from Pakistan on May 2014.
We applied for settlement uk visa on the end of the same month. Which was May.
We have been refused on November 2014. Than we appealed on same month.
They refused with reason that I was in UK as a visitor. With visit visa.

Than , they refused again and we got a hearing date on Jun. I and my husband attend in the court. The judge accepted our marriage but never accept that we broke the law.
We didn't know that I couldn't get married in UK or submit a spouse visa application as I'm a visitor.
The judge decided that I have to go back to my country, which is Morocco. And apply from there.
I came back to Morocco on August, I made a fresh application, submitted all paper work on November 2015. but unfortunately they refused again, the reason this time was belong my husband, his financial requirements, he is disable person which he is taking money from government, because he is ill and can't work.

NB : the judge accepted his healthy case before, so no problem with this point for me.

But the problem is my husband didn't send all his paper work (by mistake) like some bank statements and rent document (payslip) .
Now they sent me a notice of pending appeal o April 2016, and give a very long time which is 15 weeks!!
They said that they will write to me to give me an other date ( like appointment may be ) after 26 July 2016.
I don't know why they give date so far.
Is this because they refused again and then will give me a hearing date?
Do they might answer before ?
Is it any chance to win without hearing? Because we think we sent them everything they wanted.
Any advise please? .

Thank you

Lexusgs430:


Ehen, a clear case of priority application. How would UK Government (lovers of taxation), justify priority vs normal application?
When I talk Madam zinfly would give me red card!!!

tunderule2016:
The only way they can justify it is the timeline

they must have verified it same way they will verify the normal one but the timeline is what matter....

U better dont say anything or ur ass will be kicked.... everyone+zinfly blood dey hurt bruv lolol have a lovely day

[sub][/sub]
