Hello everyone its been a while here....pls gurus in the house...I was in the UK December 2020 and I left the UK may 2021 which is after 5 months...today makes it a year that I left the UK I want to go again in December....I think I have respected them by not over staying so I should have a big chance of getting the visa again right? My other question is should I apply for six months again or 2 yrs...your response will be appreciated pls...I want to start the process soon....

I don’t know if this of any use to you but I have stayed 169days of the 180 days and nothing happened because I didn’t overstay my visa, my advice to you is to put a note in the additional info part of the application and explain that due to everything Covid caused, you decided to spend more quality time with your family(your uncle and his family) and that’s the reason you stayed for 5months. Getting the visa after you stay that long isn’t the issue, the main place you might be questioned thoroughly is at the point of entry into the UK, so be prepaid to give a convincing explanation, all in all, you didn’t overstay the 180days.

Good day House,

I did my biometrics on the 24th of January for the Uk spouse Visa. I was told it was currently being prepared for consideration by an ECO on the 2nd of march and about 6 days ago 14th of April i was mailed about them refocusing their resources on the Ukrainians.

I dont know how long the wait is going to be but at the end of this wait i hope the outcome is what we have been praying for.

Cheers

Thanks for your update, please let us know when you hear from them again. The 60wd wait isn’t even the issue, it’s this new indefinite wait that’s so concerning, whew.

I have seen some getting theirs before 60WD on this forum. So I really don’t understand anymore. Some applied for spouse visa via their partners that were studying, I think those ones are quicker from what I have noticed. The ones who married British citizens seems a lot longer.

Seems it’s going to be a long waiting list, I hope people don’t end up waiting for up to 6months.

Hi Everyone,

By the time I will submit my UK VISA (student visa) application, I would have 5 months left before my passport expires.

Can I use it in my UK VISA application??
Thanks.

I think it needs to have 6 months validity, I’m not very sure.

Dec.22nd

That’s over 60WD, I wonder how long those of us that applied this year would have to wait, please update us when they make a decision on your application.

I got this email today, don’t know if anyone has received it

When did you apply?
