HOW MANY DAYS?

[Mary Hannahan 0]

Hi, my fiance in Wales has an interview on the 18th of April in London. He has read that it will take at least 9 days before he will get what he needs to travel. Can't it come earlier? That's not a rigid date is it? I thought it was to warn against getting a flight too early. Any experience, welcome. Thanks, Mary, waiting for Colin.

Nothing guaranteed.   It could be 9 or 90 depending on final checks

Don't book any flights until the visa is in his hand.

The UK forum has experiences with London visas reported and discussed. You might want to start using that forum. https://www.visajourney.com/forums/forum/99-united-kingdom/

 

The time varies. It is not a rigid 9 days. Some take longer. 

Many are 7 days. AmandaandChayne more than 2 months. Moreadore is still waiting since November. Both were told approved at the interview.

At least not unless you can get a good deal on a refundable ticket.
