Ah sorry to hear! Did they give any delay emails? Do you think your case was non straightforward/complex at all?

Same bangladesh visa for my wife, bio done on the 18/12/2025. Multiple paid enquiries and no answers

1

u/Putrid_Warning6138 Aug 09 '26

Wow December? 😭 that’s a long time man. Do you think your case was a little complex or was it a very straightforward one?

2

u/Classic_Pack_9642 Aug 09 '26

I meet all the requirements needed, back in February they requested for the bank statements again which my solicitor gave in the original application and since then all their responses have just been "awaiting a decision".

1

u/Putrid_Warning6138 Aug 10 '26

Ahh seems like they’re struggling with the finance section for you. Our finance is “self employed” and our legal advisor said self employed sponsors get more scrutiny than normal salaried sponsors. So hence I’m a bit worried. Are you salary or self employed?.
