Spouse Visa GRANTED.

Hi folks!

So after a long fuck around with a travel permit in the arse end of 2020, a 6 month wait time, then a refusal, myself and my wife travelled to the UK, with her as a visitor. 6 months later, she left, and then made the application for the spouse visa.

Application date: 9/2/23 Biometrics: 21/2/23 (Greece) Decision letter: 6/4/23

We are obviously yet to receive the passport, travel back to the UK or to collect the BRP, but the decision has been made roughly 6 weeks after the biometrics, which considering we didn't have the option for Priority when we applied, this has been (I think, comparing it to the travel permit application) unusually quick.

We did use a lawyer, this time. She submitted all the documents, and made all the appointments, but I'm not sure if that makes any difference to the speed of the application.

To all those put there still waiting, chin up. It does happen eventually!
