Hi
I have become a little addicted to this site and looking at visa processing times, and thought I would add our details. My husband and I have been together since 2000, and have two children who both hold dual nationality. I am Aussie and he is English.
We sent his spouse application on the 2 May 2011 to AH, we sent his police check but not the medical.
On 11 May we got an email from our CO, PS, asking for my husband to have his medical & to provide more info for 2009/2010 as he may be eligible for a permanent visa. The visa processing time was estimated to be 5 to 6 months
I sent the additional info on 11 May
On 08/06 my husband had his medical
On 11/06 we emailed our CO, to check the additional info had been recieved and to say he had done his medical.
On 16/06 the CO emailed to acknowledge receipt of info and medical and advsied that no further info was required at this stage, and that they would contact us if further info was required or when the visa was finalised.
