applied DTv London 28th October

both mine and husbands still state pending document check , no update at all as yet - does anyone have recent time frame experience in the last week? and how long did it take for them to ask for extra docs or to change the status ? :) thanks in advance
Answer summary
A user inquired about the processing time for their UK visa application, which has been pending since October 28, alongside their husband's. They seek information on the timeframe for status updates and requests for additional documents. Community members have shared recent experiences, detailing that requests for additional documents often occur within days, and that it is common for applications to proceed faster once extra documents are submitted. However, responses confirm that application status messages can be misleading, and it is essential to remain patient, especially during high-volume application periods.

Applied 24th Oct

Further docs 3rd Nov

Currently waiting again

Also I’m not sure why I see so many comments saying when they request extra info it reset the time to zero because not one timeline post I’ve seen does that make sense. I think it’s a myth lol.

Usually from everything I read here once they request extra docs things happening faster than the waiting for original document checks

Those status messages doesn’t tell you anything useable about when you get your application approved/rejected.

And they can change both ways.

You have to read the Embassy website thoroughly and take into account the right now is high season for visa applications.

Most Embassy website gives a very thorough information about processing time.

Additional Documents reset the time counting back to 0, at the day the last document are submitted.

Some Embassies process according to travel date ( to the benefit of the applicant) rathed than application date.

Use search including Embassy name, you are asking questions that has been answered numerous times.

You just have to wait patiently, there are no other options.

It took 7 days before the documents were checked for my friend, who just applied.

More documents were requested and uploaded same day of request. Visa approved 3 days later.
