  • Thanks for your help but I think that there might be a difference in our situations. There is nothing that MY government has to do to facilitate the decision making process as far as my visa to the UK goes. Even the British Government in the email they sent me said that it would take a MAXIMUM of 60 days and that it usually takes between 20 and 30 days (although they aim for less). I think that perhaps the difference in our applications has to do with the fact that I am not applying for a fiancee visa. I applied for a spousal visa. My husband and I have been married for over 2 years and have lived together since the day we were married (before that, in fact). Going from the US to the UK is not the same as going from South Africa to the UK. I know that it takes a long time for some people and for some it takes less. I've been talking to some people on another forum who have had to apply to the same Embassy that I did and it has taken anywhere from 5 working days to 23 working days for them to hear back. In one case it took 59 working days but apparently his application was not complete and he was asked to submit more information.
    I thank you for your help and advice but I think that our situations are quiet different. Having been involved with my husband for 5 years I think I can judge when we're ready to have children and how the relationship will go. I know that you're just trying to help but I'm not a newlywed. I was simply wondering if there was anyone other US national who had applied to the Los Angeles office and when they might have gotten a response. Thanks again and good luck.
