Unmarried partner visa! Still no confirnation they have received paperwork?

cazzyb2 · #1 (**permalink**) 18th September 2012, 02:29 AM

We sent all of our documents and it arrived in Sydney on Thursday 30th august (tracked on australia post). We still have not heard anything at all to let us know they have received and are processing our application? We are applying from Australia (obviously!) so was just wondering of any other people going through the same thing and when/if they heard etc?

I'm not expecting the visa to be processed for a few monthes but would just be nice to know they have it!

Thanks guys! Hate this waiting game!

Hi there,

You don't receive any confirmation of your documents arriving in either Sydney or Manila.
If you wish to confirm they have been received, you could try the email address I used to confirm receipt: EC.Enquiries@fco.gov.uk

They were quiet quick in responding

Good luck!

Thanks alot for that! Will get an email sent tonight

How long did your visa take to process? (presuming it has been!)

Thanks for your help!

Thanks for that contact melford! Emailed them and received a response tonight stating they have our documents and it may take up to 12 weeks to process

feel better now we know they have them! Lets just hope it's sooner!

That's great! I had the same response from them too... Today marks 6 weeks of waiting for us so fingers crossed it's not too much longer!

Hi cazzyb2,

Unfortunately we still haven't heard anything! We just started our ninth week of waiting yesterday... I'm literally going insane so I hope it's not too much longer. The Australian processing statistics on the UKBA website for August indicated 100% of settlement visas were processed in 40 working days. Taking into account postage time etc. we hit 40 working days last Friday so I'm guessing the processing times have increased since August.

In any case, I just want to hear something so bad so that I can head back to my husband in London. It absolutely feels like the longest wait ever!

Oh that's not good news then! Feels like a lifetime

that's crap you here and he is there, I suppose I should just he grateful we are still in same country although not knowing what's happening with your life is just as annoying!!!

Oh well, fingers crossed soon and would love to hear when you do if poss!

Hang on in there

Hello fellas,

I'm new to this forum and have been reading pretty much all the threads related to UK settlement visa for a while.

I have got same situation with Cazzyb2 and wondering if you have heard anything back yet.

I just hit week8 last Friday. (documents arrived in Manila on 31 August )

Hope the waiting game get over soon.
