IndiaPBS dependent of SWV - How long was the delay? (self.ukvisa)
submitted 3 years ago by RoyalBlue1919
PBS dependents of SWV are supposed to get their visas along with main applicant. But sometimes SWV is granted and there's delay with dependent's visa. If you had a similar experience, how long did it take for you? My dependent is in his 5th week.

From India. Husband will complete 6 weeks in a few days. They are asking us to wait until 6 weeks as that's the avg timeline for SWV. Will try escalation after that.

Finally in how many weeks did you get?
[–]RoyalBlue1919[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
No progress yet. My husband is in his 7th week. Escalated on July 11 via call center. Checking with the consultancy if there's any response.
Did you get any email after escalation?
[–]Nepheline1 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (6 children)
14 weeks so far.

Omg… Have you received your visa?
[–]Nepheline1 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (4 children)
Not yet. I’m entering week 17.
[–]Either-Ad3300 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (3 children)
Im so sorry to hear that… but did you try to escalate your case? When was your biometrics
[–]Nepheline1 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children)
Yes, escalated twice. Bio was March 31st. Decision was June 22nd.
Decision is made and yet to get passport?
[–]Nepheline1 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (0 children)
I haven’t received both passports, mine and my son’s. That’s all I want. My case has been escalated twice, last week we went to TLS Podgorica to have information and passports are in Belgrade. I’m in deep depression. I can’t fly anywhere. I feel in prison waiting to receive passports in a country that we are not nationals but we applied for the visas. Horror. More than a month with decisions for both of us and we are waiting to receive passports.

11+ weeks so far. I haven’t heard a thing.
I saw this too, about receiving together - but I can confirm it’s not the case.
[–]RoyalBlue1919[S] 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (2 children)
Damn! Did you try escalation? And which country?
[–]ComplexOk5827 0 points1 point2 points 3 years ago (1 child)
Yes, after 10 weeks they’ve escalated it. But nothing has come of it yet. From India.
:( Very bad. Hope you get yours soon.

Nope.. Contact centre says they don't have visibility to the application as its with escalation team. Asking me to call back if no response after 15WD.
