Okay.
Thank you so much.

Is it normal or should I say unusual for delays like this to occur?
I just wish someone could tell me exactly what’s going on?
I hope this doesn’t mean I will get denied the visa
Any similar situations on this platform?

No we don’t,hence why we are wondering why it’s taking this long.

Hi everyone,
Just found out about this forum and wish I did earlier.Please I need everyone’s help here as I’m genuinely freaking out as this has taken way too long.

So I applied for a UK spousal visa on May 30th 2017 and I’m yet to get a response till date.

So here’s my timeline soo far:

Application online submission- may 30th
Biometrics - June 6th
Documents sent to Sheffield - June 12th
Email confirming application received in Sheffield -
