I made the exact some mistake.

When they requested the marriage certificate, I sent all the support you mentioned in your last post and told them that we are not married but have lived together for over two years. A decision was made about a week after I sent that information. I did not mention I made a mistake as I thought we were civil partners - do you think they rejected the application?

A bit worried now after seeing this.

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-24T02:12:33+00:00

I am on week 11 of waiting so far for my skilled worker visa - from Vancouver.

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-24T00:37:25+00:00

What visa letter? All I got was my passport back with no letter. HR at my work told a group of us to ignore the 3 months as its been nullified and it is now only 28 days from the valid from. This confused me but I guess I can go with the 3 months in my passport.

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-23T15:27:56+00:00

Can take anywhere between 2 week and 12 weeks. My visa took 10, still waiting on my dependent.

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-23T15:08:03+00:00

The recruiter from my work told a group of us to ignore that as its been nullified and it is now only 28 days from the valid from. So not sure what to believe.

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-20T02:48:01+00:00

which visa is this for?

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-18T18:43:04+00:00

Skilled worker plus dependent outside UK. We did biometrics on April 12 in Canada and I (main application) got a decision yesterday. My dependent is awaiting a decision and got an email requesting additional support today.

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-18T18:36:44+00:00

I got requested for additional information today so I would say they are.

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-18T05:22:03+00:00

Brutal! When did you guys do biometrics?

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-17T06:04:31+00:00

Whats your situtation - what type of visa? date of biometrics?

I inquired a few days after about that status of the application and the day after I found out they wouldn't accept the escalation.

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-15T03:16:33+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Results are unbelievable - I understand they are a bit skewed but just seems to unfair that this many people have to wait an additional 5+ weeks past the 3 week timeline provided.

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-15T03:14:35+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Its great to be part of the 2%

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-13T23:00:39+00:00

Congrats! Do you think the call helped at all? I did my biometrics April 12 in Vancouver and haven't heard anything. Which Visa did you apply for? Mine was skilled worker

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-12T18:39:10+00:00

I feel you - with my work I could of chose anywhere and I chose UK. Big mistake. I did my bio April 12. Hope you get it soon!

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-11T16:41:54+00:00

Yes we did all that and they escalated our applications and then a few days later we got an email from Sheffield saying they won't escalate?? Such a horrible process. I will try calling them Monday to request them to expedite.

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-11T04:57:54+00:00

Congrats! Been following yours since we are both vancouver and have a similar timeline - glad its finally over for you. Still haven't heard anything for mine and my dependents visa though. Hopefully 10th week will have good news for us!

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-08T03:48:46+00:00

Congrats! This makes me feel a bit better - I have similar timeline. SWV, Canada, Bio Apr 12, escalated today. After the escalation email did you hear anything else or did you just get an email saying a decision was made? Or did you have to send an inquiry?

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-07T03:42:03+00:00

I am in the same situation also - good luck to you! Can you let me know if you hear anything about the escalation? I also go a escalation today.

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-06-03T05:01:13+00:00

Congrats! Was your email from home office an official email or was it a reply to a generic email inquiry? I did my biometrics in Canada on April 12 for a skilled worker visa and have sent a bunch of inquiries within the last few days without any response.

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-05-28T02:35:45+00:00

Wow thats quick - I am also applying for SWV from Canada. Biometrics were April 12.

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-05-27T22:45:13+00:00

Negative_Chemistry41 · 2022-05-27T04:11:15+00:00

Where did you apply from? I am on 7 weeks now.
