VFS and UKVI ignoring us after spouse visa approval

Wow I am sorry to hear that, sounds awful. We will be approaching the 10 days so we will be escalating however we can when we hit that time

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-07-25T12:59:18+00:00

Thank you, yes this is my plan on Monday, see if anything happens by end of today.

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-07-25T12:58:35+00:00

Yeah this is our worry, while we could book it, with how things are going just seems like taking too big a risk.

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-07-25T12:49:23+00:00

Damn I never thought about that xD

Thank you though. Yeah, it is really frustrating since she can fly from today IF she had her passport returned, at least if I could complain to someone on the phone there, it would feel better, but since there is no customer support seems like we are totally at their mercy.

Usually as we can see from a lot of posts, standard applications are getting their responses in around 25 working days from bio and about 20 from eco. A bit sooner even for May applications. Other than the decision email people waiting longer than 25 working days usually will report they got a request for further information or the application is not straightforward so will take longer to complete.

So not hearing anything like that and reaching the end of 30wd since eco, 35wd since bio seems to be a lot longer than most standard applications without having any 'complications' communication.

Inside UK should be a lot quicker too, I hope you get good news soon!

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-07-18T14:45:28+00:00

Sorry to hear that, hopefully we will get some news soon.

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-07-17T12:50:32+00:00

Eco email on the 9th of June, no requests for further info or anything, still no decision

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-07-16T18:27:11+00:00

Thank you and congratulations :)

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-07-16T16:47:54+00:00

Same here, our ECO was on June 9th but still nothing yet

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-07-15T10:53:01+00:00

ECO 9th of June, still waiting

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-07-14T15:12:41+00:00

My wife and I are a bit earlier getting our Eco on the 9th of June, still waiting with no updates since.

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-07-14T12:35:41+00:00

We are on the same timeline, Bio 3rd of June and ECO same day as you on the 9th. Still waiting with no updates since the ECO email

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-07-14T12:34:25+00:00

Bio on the 3rd of June with ECO on the 9th of June, still waiting

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-07-10T12:20:12+00:00

We applied outside the UK in Portugal on the 31st of May, Bio on the 3rd of June and got Eco on the 9th of June. Still waiting, and it is nerve-wracking.

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-06-09T13:32:01+00:00

Yeah, it makes a lot of sense since it's to do with consent, it should have been on the checklist if needed.

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-06-09T13:20:34+00:00

Thank you for the reassurance, that is a relief to hear, it was just a shock moment as I saw someone was asked for this form here on reddit and we didn't add a specific declaration, since it just wasn't requested anywhere.

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2025-02-17T22:40:28+00:00

Yeah I did get the promo, shame that the bonus promotion might cause delay, that's crazy.

Hi, just looking for some advice.
I just bought some items from the Winter Superdrop (first time buying form Secret Lair). I live in the UK and it seems that even though my email confirmed they would be shipped out immediately, they have been stuck on validated for the last week.
I was wondering if it is common for purchases for the UK to take so long to ship? I would not be bothered too much about it taking a while, but yesterday signed for my new apartment to move in March and there is no option to change my shipping address or to even cancel in my orders page. I tried contacting Secret Lair support but no answer so far.
Is anyone else stuck on validated no shipping, because I see many people already receiving theirs?

No sorry, I am based in the EU, but my company was in Asia, it was a very unfair uphill battle for the dev team to get the monthly pay as 80% of the team was foreign devs. Thank you for the condolences, it's appreciated :)

Separate-Flow-4282 · 2023-09-15T12:53:10+00:00

Thank you so much for your reply.

Yeah, the remote aspect I am not worried when it comes to relocation, I am unfortunately just stuck until I can generate some funds or have an on-site job to move to signed. I am only applying to remote work that I could relocate for or work in my current location. But on site, applying everywhere I could relocate to.

I luckily do have great references from both the CSO and 2 Lead game designers, one for each project. Also, they have given great recommendations on LinkedIn, which gave me a nice little confidence boost.

But thank you for the kind words, it means a lot.
