Hi, I am also under fiancee visa but I lodged mine April 2, 2014 so it looks like that I will be waiting until the next month for the result, fiance pressuring me too much so I had to be quiet to him.

Did you take TOEIC exam?

I am seeing lots of good news, hoping for a good news too! Quite amazed that a day can change anyone's life.

Yes I took Toeic. You have to get ready with their call.

What sorts of questions did they ask? If you don't mind me asking though

[blessed_ekim0826]

What sorts of questions did they ask? If you don't mind me asking though

Its just basic questions like employment, trip abroad and visa category. I was really worried with how I answered him on phone coz of adrenaline.

Should we say Fiancee visa if they will ask us about category? or "Settlement visa" is more appropriate? Lol. Just curious haha

[aprilmaejon]

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...

[blessed_ekim0826]

I did say both. LOL

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.

Martin ... seems no time since I was congratulating you and Aileen on your wedding.

Now ... Aileen has her spousal visa. Well done to you BOTH and all the very best for your future together.

Hi Jasper999! congratulations to you and your fiancee! just wanted to ask, how many days did it take from the day you received an email saying her visa will be despatched shortly up to the day she was informed that she can collect her visa already? I received an email yesterday with this message:

"Your visa will be despatched shortly. Passports can normally be collected from the Visa Application Centre after 3 days depending on which country you applied from or will be couriered back to you only if you have availed of this service. UKVI"

But tomorrow is public holiday here in the Philippines. I am guessing I could maybe go to the VFS on Friday to collect my visa or is that too soon? I read another post saying that they received a second email notifying them that the visa is ready for pick up. I only received just one email.
Many thanks in advance!
