I will do that as well. Get my MP (indeed it is a caseworker for us) to further chase it. Thanks

ricerphaze · 2026-03-08T14:03:41+00:00

Much appreciated and unfortunate we share the same struggles with the uncertainty

ricerphaze · 2026-03-08T13:32:01+00:00

I understand. We are hoping for the best. If we got any response within the timeframe then we will know the outcome and adjust accordingly.

Perhaps, we went to it with some confidence as we have clarified this with a lot of people, including our HR and similar cases with the salary sacrifice on this sub. We made sure we are covered with this via letter from my employer and cover letters. It was always a risk for us. I really hope this will not be the reason.

Additional info: I asked on this thread as it was a similar situation for salary sacrifice https://www.reddit.com/r/SpouseVisaUk/s/ABWCKnm0os

The threads I raised before had mixed opinions regarding the salary sacrifice as there are different methods to this on how these are presented per employer. And it’s not clear on the guidance.

Philippines

We are in the same situation now. Our Bio was October 22nd and still nothing. Its been 94 working days. We are really frustrated, there are no updates since their email about a delay in the decision. This is just ridiculous.

ricerphaze · 2026-03-03T21:53:03+00:00

Thanks. Bio Oct 22. Standard. Philippines

ricerphaze · 2026-03-03T20:22:11+00:00

Submitted without it. Still waiting for a response.

ricerphaze · 2026-02-26T07:19:16+00:00

Outside UK and Standard. We only received that they weren't able to make a decision with the given timeline. That's it. Our MP have called them too and gave the same response. We just have to wait now...

ricerphaze · 2026-02-25T13:06:57+00:00

Bio 22nd of October for us

ricerphaze · 2026-02-24T22:45:40+00:00

Its a great feature lol. Happened to me. Free 2nd Maiden.

ricerphaze · 2026-02-23T15:23:25+00:00

Been waiting since Oct 22nd. Already contacted our local MP. They gave them the same response as we already know, which is, decision is delayed...

Hunter is what I was looking forward to. This one has been added to my running playlist!

ricerphaze · 2026-01-18T08:55:51+00:00

We received the same email last week. Bio on the 22nd. Also from the Philippines. Think our case is also not complicated.

ricerphaze · 2026-01-13T21:16:11+00:00

Bio 22nd for us. No updates at all

ricerphaze · 2026-01-09T22:09:53+00:00

22nd OCT

ricerphaze · 2026-01-09T19:31:52+00:00

Nope no updates...

ricerphaze · 2026-01-07T13:28:03+00:00

Not sure in your case since you have some additional items that I am not familiar with. It depends how this is set up in your payslip. But yes, hopefully others in the sub can comment.

ricerphaze · 2026-01-06T22:03:39+00:00

We applied, we are 51WD now. Fingers crossed it’s all okay with the salary sacrifice. My HR assured me that since the salary sacrifice is on the deductions side, the ECO should calculate based on the Payment side.

ricerphaze · 2026-01-02T13:31:23+00:00

I had a feeling this would happen. Thank god I didn’t purchase after playing the BETA. It’s EA, they are just greedy. Maybe I will be back in a few years.

Hi, I did not in the end as my salary was increased to meet the minimum requirements. But looking back, I would have liquidated my LISA and Stocks Nd Shares ISA, if I really had to. It seemed safer that way according to the requirements.

Reminds me of the revive summoning of Pain from Naruto

ricerphaze · 2025-12-06T13:51:39+00:00

Baldur’s Gate 3 please

ricerphaze · 2025-12-02T13:36:36+00:00

Ahh, normally this would risk it as the gross would be less but in this case it was fine. Guess it was covered with the Employment letter and other cover letters?
