    I would say fiancé visa or marriage visa is more specific... Settlement visa is like a broad term, can be fiancé, spousal, FLR or ILR...

    Phew!!! The long wait is over. My wife just received an email from UKVI "Your visa will be despatched (sic) shortly. "

    She applied for her spouse visa on on 18th March (VFS appointment) so by my reckoning that is 52 working days - a bit better than around 64 that other people have reported.

    Interestingly, I did send an email query on the UKVI website on Monday, and got a reply yesterday saying:

    "I have checked your visa application status, your application was received on 20 March but has not been assessed by an Entry Clearance Officer yet. We normally will process: 95 per cent of settlement applications within 12 weeks of the application date and 100 per cent within 24 weeks of the application date."

    Then the next day it is granted. Coincidence? Maybe - but it certainly didn't do any harm emailing them.

    Her English exam was Cambridge KET which she did in the UK while she was here on a visitors visa last summer. So she wasn't affected by the TOEIC debacle, and had no phone call from UKVI.

    Anyway, thanks to everyone on this forum. Although I haven't posted much, reading it was a great help for information during the application process, and also a great moral support during the long wait.

    Congratulations to all those who recently get their visas and good luck to those who are still waiting.

    Martin & Aileen.

    It could simply be pure conjecture on my part, Michael ... ... but I'm guessing the authorities are finally waking up to the unfairness of keeping those applicants - whose criteria matches in every other respect - waiting indefinitely pending any firm decision as regards the "interim validity" of their satisfactory results obtained using the since suspended TOEIC Examinations.

    possibly explains it! Which ... of course ... will be welcome news for all others in a similar situation.

    Here's hoping!!

    Hi sweetlove! Congratulation! I am also waiting for my spousal visa. May I ask how long exactly you had to wait until you got your visa? Your news and jasper99's post sure cheered me up! This is the kind of news I need to hear when days like this come around. Feeling like it is forever waiting to be able to finally start our lives together.
