hotandsticky Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Does anyone have experience of current processing times? A friend's wife was told the standard 15 working days and they are now up to 18 working days. I have not read of any mention of backlog delays?

HashBrownHarry Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 15-18 days is pretty good IMO. Good luck, pls report back how long it takes. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigyin Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 FLR, ILR and citizenship applications are taking around 6 months so this delay might be seeping into initial settlement visa applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks. This is a standard visitor visa application. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when does an application for FLR have to be made, does it have to be 6 months before expiry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No you can apply 28 days before completing the initial 30 months. You have to make sure that the applicant has completed 5 years in the UK for ILR so it just needs a little bit of forward planning. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotandsticky Posted November 20, 2021 Author Share Posted November 20, 2021 Five calendar weeks (about 24 working days) and a friend is still waiting for a decision on his wife's standard visitor visa application. Very uncomplicated, married 10 years and she previously had settled status in the UK. An appalling service (or lack of IMO).......And this is work that can be done remotely.

The service from the Home Office is shocking, I know of people in the UK who have been waiting 2 years for a result on a citizenship application with no updates. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
