SUMMARY: Spouse Visa Processing times OFFSHORE-UK. Please add your Stats.

[Aprilfool]

I don't see that is a delay. If they requested extra stuff and you are providing it within the time given or agreed, I don't see the issue. If there wasn't a timeframe as such, again, I'd not panic it will 'delay' things, so long as you are providing it sooner rather than later (ie at the 7 month mark). At the 4 month mark they can still be waiting on the police check or your own medical so its not a biggie to have this. Partner visas can take 7 months, they can take 11. There is no rhyme and reason to the grant process

@snifter what I meant was that the medical was delayed because his passport was out of date and we didn't know until the medical date. If non of that had been an issue they would of had everything required to process a few weeks ago. Which is why I said mine may take a little longer as we haven't been able to provide everything in the time frame requested due to the passport issue.

@QPRMARK it's got to be our turn soon! Fingers crossed for us both x what's the initial of your CO? Mine is V. I'm fairly sure she only works part time as we don't hear from her a lot at all.

Thanks @CelinaOz we took a leap of faith a few weeks ago, and decided to get valuations on the house, guy came today to take photos......family that bought live 10 doors away, hence the early viewing!!

 

Mrs H and the little one fly out on 2nd Oct, and I follow in December after tying up all the loose ends!

 

Still in shock with today's events!

Had a hugely emotional day at work so it just took the edge off it! Don't feel I can quite celebrate yet after the day I've had but I will do!! So jealous of you getting to go that soon! We will be in Brisbane by the start of July next year!! I'm sure it will fly by. Hoping to squeeze in a quick trip this November x

Hi all, thought it was about time for an update. So, we have been married for 3 weeks today and are as happy as pigs in....!! It is the juggling with the timings which is the hardest bit....our plans for a Feb wedding were shelved due to my requesting voluntary redundancy, a slow house sale and getting my daughter sorted out (she has stayed behind) etc, so couldn't leave until June 15th.....same day the house sale completed and the redundancy cheque hit the bank. Managed to organise the wedding mostly from the UK and it turned out fab. Put the 820 application in on Friday and my bridging visa came through straight away - the PMV actually expires on Tuesday anyway. Still have loads of things to sort out but not exactly sure what they are....I'm having some time off! Waiting again, but not stressing about it this time......
