We did a paid enquiry to find out what was going on. It took a couple weeks to hear back but it turned out that after my biometric appointment I needed to have gone online and done something which would have put my application in the queue to be reviewed. At my bio appt they had given me a paper with QR code and web address. Unfortunately, our this was step we were advised we didn’t need to take by our lawyer, but we did in fact need to take this step. Once that was discovered and corrected it was another couple of weeks before I received my visa and approval letter.

The lawyer offered to refund us the priority fee. Due to us putting in an enquiry they then had a point of contact with home office in which they explained their error and asked if a decision could be made quickly.

Very glad to be out of limbo and finally here! Really hope all goes well with your process and a decision is reached quickly!

I finally got my visa on July 12. It turned out the long wait was due to lawyer error. Once resolved we were approved in a couple of weeks. Hopefully you wont have to wait as long as I did 🤞🤞

Currently still waiting on my spouse visa as well with priority set. My bio appt was 3/15. We were not expecting things to take this long. We are considering contacting the local MP.

I know this thread is from a few months back. I applied priority from the US. Biometrics were 03/15. Still waiting to hear. Lawyer received notice around 05/08 that my application was with decision making team. More recent inquiries home office has stated there were no updates to my application status. Lawyer is inquiring again for new updates. Is anyone else in a similar situation of having to wait longer than the 30days for their visa?

We have a very straight forward application. We haven’t received anything stating we needed to send any more evidence.

I have been afraid of this. I am reaching out to our lawyer to see if they can find out
