Approved: Spousal Visa (inside) non priority
Documents submitted : 1st July
Biometric: 2nd July
Approval 19th August.
We did in inside the UK. I have ILR (German) and my husband is Pakistani who came on a work visa and got made redundant.
We did the documentation ourselves and even fell short on proof of address
But thankfully it all went through with no further queries.
My only advise to anyone is to ensure you have a clear checklist and make sure it’s easy to review for someone at the home office. I labelled everything and had a clear system of headings and subheadings labelling everything e.g. 1A. 1b 2a etc I do think that probably made a positive difference hence why no further requests.
I also provided a PowerPoint with all the pictures/messages in a clear order and then had to take screenshots and upload it via a PDF (it doesn’t let you upload a pp) - anyway - I think that helped.
This thread definitely was a big support and seeing the approved notification from others always filled me with hope. Good luck to everyone still waiting or who will apply!
