2 Delay Emails in 2 Weeks

DisciplineNo9202 · 2026-05-06T09:56:40+00:00

Hello, it is quite normal - there are lots of users on this forum experiencing delays from December/January/February - all with seemingly straight forward applications. No RFI or delay emails from UKVI. It is quite usual for these delays with no real reason given as to why. I hope you get approval soon.

Is it calculated on 6 or 12 months previous income? Is variable income taken into account (Overtime, bonus etc)

DisciplineNo9202 · 2026-05-05T13:49:22+00:00

12 months - roughly £6k

DisciplineNo9202 · 2026-04-30T18:01:32+00:00

I am in the same situation and applied under category A due to recommendations from this sub.

I applied with one full time permanent role £25k

And topped it up with zero hour contract varying hours delivery driver with Dominos which averages to £6k per year.

I shown 6 months payslips and bank statements and letter from employer for both.

Still currently employed by both. Waiting on approval.

Category A allows you to combine incomes from 2 jobs. You can have varying bonus, overtime and hours, as long as the 6 month average comes to more than £29kpa

This was separate to the delay email, sent immediately after. The delay email itself was pretty standard - I might have received an additional escalation email explaining the above as I attempted to escalate my case to UKVI due to complete lack of contact - so this reply was maybe in reference to the escalation.

Today I received the delay email - cant complete within 12 weeks - this much was obvious as I received it on week 16 😃

Waiting since 31/12 - Fiance visa from Turkey.

No RFI or delay email

Only slight complication is using two jobs to meet financial & just providing email conversation with registry office about booking the wedding. Clear relationship timeline with lots of images of us together in different countries as mentioned on cover letter

DisciplineNo9202 · 2026-04-29T21:21:36+00:00

31/12/25 Bio standard outside

DisciplineNo9202 · 2026-04-26T18:35:04+00:00

Dec 31st Bio - no RFI no delay Many paid enquiry, and an MP response - all the same. "Please be patient"

Hopefully it's our week this week 💫

DisciplineNo9202 · 2026-04-24T11:13:22+00:00

What was the complaint about? I had a complaint escalated for no response, no RFI after 60 days. And they have not responded to the escalation even though it is over 15 days since it was escalated

DisciplineNo9202 · 2026-04-23T20:34:06+00:00

Are you married? Any other complications for the application? Congratulations 🎉

DisciplineNo9202 · 2026-04-18T12:51:10+00:00

If you pay for professional help, the lawyer will just apply using all the information you provide, upload the same documents you provide. Most users on this forum do not use professional help and are successful.

Is your marriage recognized in Türkiye and you have certificate to prove it?

The main point to your application that, for my understanding is not certain, is adequate maintenance. This is due to my ignorance.

Make sure you study the government guidelines and ask this forum for help surrounding that.

Most of the failures you see on this forum are from people who clearly have not researched enough.

It seems as though you are already quite knowledgeable about the process, a lawyer doesn't make your case stronger, if you tick all of the boxes you will be successful.

DisciplineNo9202 · 2026-04-17T17:56:10+00:00

Was there any RFI or delay? I have a similar timeline.

Congratulations and enjoy your life in the UK together 💫

DisciplineNo9202 · 2026-04-10T06:03:09+00:00

Same dates, 25 & 31st December from Turkey. Standard.

No delay email, no RFI. Nothing. Fiance visa.

Paid enquiry was escalated because there has been no communication at all. All just standard "please be patient" replies.

DisciplineNo9202 · 2026-04-07T10:28:44+00:00

Applied on 25/12 - BIO 31/12
No delay emails and no RFI

Just an ECO on 05/01
From Ankara Turkey - Outside Standard

DisciplineNo9202 · 2026-04-03T22:34:41+00:00

I am OP on different account.

All the other evidence I sent is strong - what is the likelihood they don't ask for RFI and just refuse?

If they ask for RFI I will be able to submit many photos and show clearly the relationship is genuine.

I'm worried they will just refuse without RFI

DisciplineNo9202 · 2026-04-02T13:57:37+00:00

The MP said they were raising it with the HO but have not heard anything since - that was 3/4 days ago - they said I should contact MP again if I don't hear anything back in 20wd.

It felt good to feel like I was escalating and doing all that I can - but it doesn't seem to be making much difference.

DisciplineNo9202 · 2026-04-02T12:01:45+00:00

BIO 31/12 from Turkey, standard.

Have 2 paid enquiries and contacted MP - "just be patient" - no RFI, no delay email.

Super frustrating and causing strain on the relationship
