Hello, I am now on week 16 or 17 (I have lost count!) - standard outside from Turkey
In the last 2 weeks I have received 2 separate delay emails. Maybe I am reading into things too much - but do you think this is a positive or negative indication - as in maybe it means a case worker is actually viewing the file finally?
Maybe its neutral news and it just means exactly what they say, they are unable to process in time.
Hi, just checking in with those who are still waiting from 2025 so I can gauge how many of us there are.
Bio 31/12 from Türkiye
Hello,
Just a question on Category B requirements - In the last 12 months I have earned more than £29,000. I am just wondering about the "current salary" requirements. I have two jobs, one with £25k fixed salary, and another zero hour job that pays on average £6k per year.
Is this suitable for category B as I cant show a fixed salary above £29k at the point of application as some of my salary is variable income.
BIO 31/12 - 16 weeks later I received delay email today.
I have a question on the mandatory checks that are referenced on the delay email.
Prior to making a decision on an application a number of mandatory checks need to be completed to ensure that the statutory requirements have been satisfied. Checks need to be completed in both the applicant’s home country and the UK. We aim to decide all applications at the earliest opportunity. However, the length of time taken to complete these checks is dependent on the individual circumstances of each case. Unfortunately we cannot disclose the nature and extent of these checks but we regularly monitor their progress.
Does anybody have any knowledge of what kind of checks in the home country this would be referring to?
Thanks
