Current waiting time for U.K. visitor Visa for Thai partner

[Bachgencwm 2]

The processing time for a U.K. visitor visa for my Thai partner and her son was 46 days from the date of biometrics, whereas 3 years ago it was 7 days. I realise that the outsourcing to India will have some impact? I would be keen to know if anyone else has experienced such an increase, given that the service level is supposedly 15 days?

Last year 28 days and 7 days, this year 18 days. So based on my experience it could be anytime.

Is that number of days to a decision?

 

Darren. Enquiring minds want to know if Ket got her visa or is she still waiting to hear?

Yes, would be great to have an update.

She got it so Darren tells me but he didn’t take any advice from anybody but did it his own way.

I guess he's a little more positive about UKVI now then!

I wouldn't bet on it. He's still spewing bile about the system whenever he dredges up another story from the web.

What exactly do you mean with "my Thai partner"? I am aware of the following types of partner, but there may be more.

1. Spouse
2. Sexual partner of the opposite sex
3. Sexual partner of the same sex
4. Business partner
5. Partner in crime

The whole point of using the term "partner" is to avoid having to specify the type of relationship as this is irrelevant.

Thank you. That is interesting.

I have just received a UK visit visa from Bangkok VFS using the standard service promising a 15 working day response.

The Visa was posted 3 weeks and 1 day after the biometrics (16th working day)

The visa arrived the next day, ie 3 weeks and 2 days after the biometrics (17th working day)

Anyone know if we are still looking at the above timeline for the UK tourist visa?

Are the waiting times for the UK tourist visa still around three weeks?
