Hey! Don’t worry hopefully you’ll get yours soon me and my partner had been waiting since Feb 5th and we got approved on Tuesday this week! we emailed our MP like 2 weeks ago and they emailed the London High Commissioners office for us. We got no email back from immigration but alas we were...

Thank you for getting back to us, we are going to contact our local MP and hope that it may help us because we’ve been waiting since February and is very frustrating at this point :(

Yay congrats I’m very happy for you! ☺️ I know this might sound like a dumb question but what did you say to your local MP? And what did they say to you?

Absolutely none, we sent off web forms that basically gave us an automated answer that didn’t help us at all.

Hi there, my partner applied for a study visa and I applied for a work visa both from the UK. We sent off our application on the 30th on Jan and then sent our biometrics on the 5th of feb and are still waiting for some kind of update. Absolutely ridiculous.

Hey, sorry to hear you’re going through the same thing as us :/ and to make things worse I just looked at the processing times, it’s been saying it takes 1 week for about 4 weeks, but now it’s up to 3 weeks. I think the processing times are an absolute farce. I don’t think I’ve come across...

Well I hope it’s something more than the usual response. They haven’t lost your application or something because the wait you’ve had so far is ridiculous :/

Oh man that really sucks you still have just over a month for them to reply so don’t lose hope just yet! And yeah we’re teying to do the same thing :/

It’s weird because even though we’re not not in the exact same position it’s similar. My partner has previously done a ski instructors course in Canada so he was there for 6 months. Then we did and IEC for two years. He also has two uncles that live out there but we have never been permanent...

Oh no! This is good and annoying news for you guys I guess, how did you find this out? Did they contact you? At least you’ve had some sort of answer now! But it would have been nicer if they let you know how much longer it was going to be :(

Oh, maybe not then :( but do you have any reason for them to reject you? So hopefully after all this waiting you will have a positive outcome! And how do you order GCMS notes? We can’t seem to find how to do it? At this point our cut off date before we defer is end of this month so it can’t hurt...

Have you tried calling them? When we called the London office to ask for help they told us they only deal with paper applications, so you might get somewhere? And we did the same (sending a web form) they do say the same thing to everyone lol. Yeah I’ve heard if you complain/send a web form they...

Yeah I did see that but I guess I was naive to think that because we applied before that time it wouldn’t affect us. And what?! 29 weeks?! That’s appalling!!! Are you applying by yourself or are you taking someone with you? Have you sent a web form?

Hi, My partner applied for a study visa and I applied for a work permit under a joint application. We submitted our biometrics on the 5th of Feb and nothing has changed since. We are coming up to waiting 17 weeks, is this normal? We have submitted web forms where they replied saying, in a...

Well it’s been over three months now which is crazy! Let me know if you hear of anything from the web form and I’ll let you know when and if we hear too. My web form said 2-5 days but my partners was up to two weeks which is odd. Again, good luck and we hope you guys have some good news soon!

Soooooooo they basically said, on the phone, that they only deal with paper applications not online ones and told us to submit a web form to the London office. Not much help. So my partner has submitted two separated forms one for him and one for me online. I think it said it can take 2-5 days...

That’s what I thought, it’s the same for us. I am glad we aren’t the only ones but yes it is frustrating, I will be sure to let you know what they say tomorrow and whether you should also give them a call. Good luck!

Did you get a medical done or do an IELTS test? Initially we thought it was taking long because my partner is applying for a study visa and I’m his common-law partner asking for a work permit. And yes will let you know the outcome tomorrow, good luck to you too!

Thank you!

They said they transferred our web form to the London office because that is where our file is located at the moment. They advised we should also get in contact with the office too. We are going to call tomorrow.
