Hi Everyone,

My Fiance applied for his fiance visa just before Xmas (he is Australian, I am British).

Does anyone know how long it will take? I've found the processing times for the processing centre in Manila but there's some small print which says this isn't applicable for people applying from Commonwealth countries.

I know it hasn't been very long but I am stressing my head out over it

I applied mine on 28 Dec in Singapore. I got it back on 10 January.

Did you apply for any sms service?

Gosh that was quick.

No I don't think so, I don't think it gave him the option for sms alerts

Maybe you can check the application status on VFS website. Enter the application number which can be found in your passport receipt and your date of birth..

The Processing Hub in Manila was closed from 23rd December to 4th January, so there is probably a backlog from Christmas. The UKBA website currently says for Australian's applying for Visa's its about 89% are done in 15 days. When exactly did you send your application? I'm applying for mine in 2.5 weeks and I am hoping mine only takes 3 weeks max!!!
