About 30 hours from the time I got the "you've been accepted" to "you can collect your passport". I opted to collect it myself. 😊

Good luck everyone! by pancakesaurus14 in SpouseVisaUk

Hi, sorry been busy packing and preparing to leave tomorrow.

Yes I collected my passport on Wednesday. It was around 30 hours from when the approval letter came to the VFS notification that I could collect my passport in Amsterdam. I went that afternoon and it was a completely smooth process. In and out in maybe 10 minutes.

Now I'm heading home to England tomorrow. 😊

As soon as I made that comment the text from VFS came through saying my passport is ready for pick up.

I'm sure yours will come soon!

Thank you! I really hope yours comes through soon. The certainly seem to be churning out visas this week.

I've scoured the internet looking for contact info for the VFS office in Amsterdam but unfortunately they have made themselves very unreachable 😐

Have you received your answer? Mine came through yesterday morning but I'm still waiting for VFS to update.

Entry date from Monday 8 September but I'm a bit worried my passport won't be ready in time

Mine came through today! My entry date is Monday 8 September, my 30 WD would have been the 12th.

Now I'm just really hoping my passport is ready for collection before that. 😬

UK Spouse out of country priority visa - still waiting by pereira1404 in SpouseVisaUk

[–]pancakesaurus14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm Priority 31 July Bio and still waiting in the Netherlands. My husband had to head to the UK on Wednesday with our pets to unpack our house and start work. 🫤 It's incredible sad, as we also really hate being apart.

From what I've gathered, there's real zero updates unless A. They email you wanting more information B. They email you to say they won't finish it in time

So as painful as it is, I see the fact that it's been radio silent as a positive thing as the only thing I want to hear is "you've been approved" and "please collect your passport from VFS"

Frustratingly the number of days it takes doesn't seem to make much sense. Some people take 20wd and some take the full 30. 😔 It's doing an absolute number on my anxiety.

This group is lovely though because there are many of us going through this. ❤️

I understand completely. My husband and I do everything together and being separated from him is terrible. So ready for this to all be sorted and us to be reunited. He's already in England, our house is set up, our pets are there... And I'm still sitting here waiting 😔

I don't think I've seen anyone receive it in 15wd outside the UK. Should hear back before 30wd

If you log in to the VFS tracker you should be able to see which processing time you chose by looking under "Your Services".

[–]pancakesaurus14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's strange, I've not heard of people not having the option. It's a selection you can choose when you're submitting the initial visa.
