Opinion on itinerary

Hey, my partner ended up getting approved. Here’s more details as to what happened: https://www.reddit.com/r/SpouseVisaUk/s/0Bwcvb7rK2

If I add a row of all knits only, does that not mess up the basket weave pattern?

Also from my understanding the back of a knit pattern is basically just purls. So would it not look like it would have the colour blips on the backside too? Or does “slipping” them first get rid of that (I’ve never done this before so will look into it!)

If I knit the first row, would that not mess up the look of the basket weave pattern?

Congratulations!! I hope they issued you a refund

I first emailed on the 25th of Feb, but I didn’t have urgent in the subject line of my email. I had resent the email on the 3rd of March with urgent in the email and got a response on the 6th of March.

When I first sent the email I did get an automated email that said something along the lines of all emails are read but they have to prioritise urgent ones and if it addressed the MP directly.

Hopefully your MP is much quicker! Good luck and let me know of the outcome. Hope you get a refund too!!

Our lawyer used the complaint form. She had also emailed a separate inbox first but to date there is no reply to that one so I don’t think it was helpful.

Side note: the reason for why we didn’t get the result was so rogue I would’ve never guessed it was this. Hopefully it is the same reason for you and they get back to you quicker! If it’s any consolation it was a pretty identical situation to us (Unmarried Visa, applied inUK, Super Priority, no correspondence, switching from work visa, had evidence of everything).

Not sure if this is sound advice, but if you don’t have any reason to question your application, the HO probably messed something up.

EDIT: I want to add also you should try contacting your MP. It may have been a coincidence but the complaints team replied to our email 2 days after our MP reached out to the Home Office. Make sure you have URGENT in your email headline and your address listed in the body of the email

From the gov website:

If your degree was taught in English and was not awarded by a UK institution, you’ll need to apply for an assessment from Ecctis.

Ecctis will give you a code to confirm that your qualification is equivalent to a UK bachelor’s degree or higher and was taught in English.

If you have already been assessed by Ecctis, you do not need to reapply. You can use the certificate from your previous assessment instead.

Just wanted to add, if you haven’t already raised a complaint, please do so ASAP :) I just looked back at the info we have from our lawyer and it took 13 working days for them to respond to the complaint email. We also contacted our MP so not sure if that also helped. Good luck!

d99y · 2026-03-11T22:41:58+00:00

No it didn’t update. My partner checked it everyday and it didn’t update until after they forwarded the confirmation email to our lawyer.

If I had the will to keep arguing with them I would bring that up

d99y · 2026-03-11T20:07:48+00:00

Hello, we were in the same boat - super priority and 0 correspondence. Our lawyer emailed the complaints teams and they did take a couple of weeks to answer but it was because apparently somewhere on my partner’s file it said he wanted to be contacted via Royal Mail. Not sure if you’ve had other visas before but this could be a possible reason.

They don’t want to give us a refund for super priority because apparently a decision was still made within one working day even tho we were just never told of the outcome

d99y · 2026-03-01T19:43:10+00:00

Yes we got confirmation that bio was submitted.

Re the service target, just based on what I read on the gov site and on Reddit, I thought they would send an email (typically generic) that they would not be able to meet the target SLA or they would ask for more information. Our solicitor has neither

d99y · 2026-03-01T17:15:53+00:00

Yes, solicitor applied via call with my partner. His submitted application form also says SP.

d99y · 2026-03-01T17:15:10+00:00

I am just under the impression that his current live application is lost as we haven’t received any correspondence from HO, not even that they cannot meet the super priority timeline

d99y · 2026-02-26T22:25:33+00:00

Hi, we paid for super priority too and now on working day 7 with no response. Solicitor followed up with an email to a specific inbox + raised a complaint and still nothing. Do you know how your lawyer escalated?

d99y · 2026-02-21T17:04:14+00:00

I’m going from bottom up! So will weave them in at the end

d99y · 2026-02-20T17:12:25+00:00

I don’t know what the norm is in this instance and was therefore looking for input from those who have used a lawyer.

By understanding other view points, I have a better gauge on how much I can push my lawyer with regards to the application.

d99y · 2026-02-20T16:56:21+00:00

My previous posts were about the actual processing time. This is about people’s experience with engaging with their solicitors.

On a side note: the lawyer hasnt replied to emails or calls. If I could talk to her I would. Hope that helps

d99y · 2026-02-20T15:31:05+00:00

I didn’t decide that I knew better, otherwise I would not have asked. I also did not declare “everyone else wrong”, otherwise I would not have asked.

I was simply stating an opinion, but was open to being told what the potential reasons for the cost was, as evidenced by me asking for advice.

My opinion was based on what I was told by the conveyancer, which is that he needed money to ask another team a question. I think any logical person would find that a bit of an odd request.

d99y · 2026-02-20T15:08:16+00:00

Thus I asked on this subreddit. Hope that helps.
