Standard UK Spouse Visa (Outside UK) – Additional Documents Submitted

Application submitted: 2 March 2026
Biometrics: 5 March 2026
ECO email: 6 March 2026

Yesterday I received an additional documents request asking for more proof of genuine relationship (chat logs, call records, photos, timeline etc). I submitted everything today and received acknowledgement that the documents were received.

Currently around WD49 overall.

Just wanted to ask, for people who received similar ADRs for relationship evidence, how many days after submitting the documents did you receive your final decision?

Would really appreciate hearing recent timelines. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to check if anyone is in a similar situation or has seen movement recently.
My timeline:
Applied: 2 March 2026
Biometrics: 5 March 2026 (India)
ECO email: 6 March
No updates after that
Paid enquiry (20 April): “Application is being considered and awaiting a decision”
Called UKVI again recently → same response: within standard timeframe
Current status:
Today is 1 May 2026
Around 40 UK working days completed (excluding weekends + Easter holidays)
Still no decision / no further emails
Visa type: Standard Family / Partner (Spouse) visa (outside UK)

What’s worrying me:
It’s been almost 2 months
My intended travel date (1 May) has already passed
Total silence except that generic “awaiting decision” response

What I understand so far:
Standard processing time is up to 12 weeks
Many decisions seem to come between 7–9 weeks
I’m currently around that range, but still waiting

Questions:
Has anyone with early March biometrics (especially around 5 March) received a decision recently?
If you got “awaiting decision”, how long after that did your result come?
Any March applicants from India still waiting at ~40 working days?

Would really appreciate if you can share your timelines - trying to understand if this is normal or if I should start worrying.
Thanks in advance 🙏
