Recent de-facto via applications - how long did it take?

11-29-2006, 04:30 PM

Hi all

For those of you who have recently (past year or so) made an application
for an unmarried partner to emigrate, can you advise how long it took to
receive confirmation of the visa following submission to the Consulate
in the UK, and how strict they were, if relevant? Just to give us an
idea on the timescales we should be looking at.

We'll not be using a migration agent as we have a fairly easy case, but
I'd be grateful for any feedback or thoughts? Thanks

Andy

Hi

We have just submitted our application, we received confirmation of
receipt 5 days after receiving the application requesting me to
complete a further form and to arrange an interview, I have been
advised that the London Branch are quick and it takes 3 - 10 weeks, a
friend also did this and advised processing was the quick part. sorry
i can't tell you how long til receipt as i am still waiting but hope
this helps - Good luck
