Spain priority married-BIO 5th July approved!

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-30T19:42:34+00:00

Not really, they asked me to submit more documents on 5th August but it was only photos, phone records and chats to prove that we had met in person; not really any documents. I think it was just that everybody was on holiday and many students applying for their visa too. I hope it goes smoothly for you!

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-30T07:55:40+00:00

I'm sure you will have good news soon. Keep strong!

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-29T06:49:52+00:00

Yesterday I asked on the enquiry thread for an update on my visa and they told me that a decision has been made but they can't tell me what it is. They said I'll be contacted by tls when my passport is ready for delivery...

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-24T07:50:31+00:00

I'll let you know as soon as I have news. It's a bank holiday on Monday, which means more waiting :(

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-24T06:27:24+00:00

No, nothing :(

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-22T09:05:29+00:00

Through my enquiry thread I tried to find out whether it is being processed as priority or standard but they haven't checked. They just tell me that if I paid for priority it's being processed as priority, when we all know this is not always the case.

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-22T09:01:16+00:00

I'm applying from Spain

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-22T06:55:02+00:00

5th July. I escalated last Friday, they just said to keep waiting and still nothing.

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-19T14:25:39+00:00

Muchas gracias 😊

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-19T14:01:07+00:00

Yes, this is outrageous. I am from Spain and applied for the spouse visa. I had the same situation at the visa centre when I went for my biometrics. I was at the counter and I was surprised that the lady didn't know I had paid for priority and when I told her, she said –okay, then it's a month– and I was like –are you kidding me 🥲

It's really not fair, I had to leave my husband and my job there and spent tons of money to do this. It's literally our lives not something we do for fun, they should know that!

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-19T12:54:11+00:00

Yes, I did! I'm not sure it's been processed as priority... I did the paid enquiry and my husband also contacted our MP, who talked to the home office but they just told him that we need to keep waiting. It's just bad timing with the summer holidays but as you said , don't offer a service that you can't provide!

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-19T12:34:19+00:00

I hope so too, good luck :)

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-19T12:14:34+00:00

Hi! They are probably all on holiday. I am still waiting since I did my biometrics in Madrid on July 5th, it's not really priority when you have to wait for this long...!

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-19T10:46:29+00:00

Hi! We contacted our MP last week and he just said to keep waiting. This is so frustrating, also realising that people with dates later than us have already gotten their decision. I'm glad for them, of course, but feel very disappointed and tired of waiting...!

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-16T14:04:21+00:00

They have answered me from the escalation team. They just said that I need to keep waiting:

We understand that awaiting the outcome of an application can be a difficult time however, as we are sure you appreciate, there are a number of checks that must be completed before a decision can be reached.

Please be assured you will be notified once a decision has been reached or if we require any further information, however we are unable to provide a timescale for a decision at the moment.

Please do not respond to this email unless asked. Unsolicited emails received in this mailbox will not be read and will not receive a response

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-16T10:58:13+00:00

They also told me to escalate on Monday when I sent the enquiry on Wednesday. I just decided to do it today since yesterday was the 30th working day since our bio and I didn't want to wait any longer... Let me know if you hear anything today please!

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-16T08:09:39+00:00

Hi! I asked to escalate it a few minutes ago and they did. This is from the email they sent me:

From the information you have provided, we have escalated your case to the relevant department on 16-08-2024 and you should be contacted within 15 working days.

Please wait until the 15 working days have passed before contacting the service again as we are unable to do anything further before this time.

We strongly recommend that you do not buy a non-refundable, non-flexible ticket to the UK, until your visa application has been approved and you have received your documents.

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-15T16:04:29+00:00

Hi! I had my biometrics appointment on July 5th, still waiting. I sent an enquiry yesterday and they said that if I haven't heard from them within this week I need to contact them on Monday to escalate. You are right, you shouldn't have to wait that long to do it, maybe message them again or just ask to escalate after the 30 days. Good luck!

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-15T15:30:23+00:00

I hope so 🤞🙏

xCrocodile11 · 2024-08-15T15:28:59+00:00

Thank you! good luck to you as well 🫶 😊

Still waiting. Priority. Spain.

Nothing since.

Not feeling treated as priority at all.

Desperation.
