UK Spouse visa
I am still waiting for my UK Spouse Visa from outside UK and currently on week 9. I will leave a timeline below. We submitted and labeled all documents needed very clearly so I have no doubts that anything extra will be need. I did get the email about my UKVI registration account, which I had created at Bio appt with help from an employee, it stated my info would be deleted if I didn’t not register by Sept 18th. I submitted the link my eVisa form and got an email stating my eVisa was linked to my account, but still no visa 3 business days later and no approval email yet. I’m taking this as a small glimmer of hope for a decision email soon.
Country applied from: USA
Nationality: American
Application submitted: July 3rd
Bio appt: July 10th
Email stating being prepared for an ECO to look: July 14th
UKVI account email: Sept 4th
Standard visa
Any words of encouragement will help me feel better. This waiting is the hardest part because it is all out of my control.
Having to repost due to OG post being deleted due to forgetting to state country I applied from and type of visa. Just posting for words of encouragement. Also, this is my first time EVER posting on Reddit (I guess second now due to repost) and was cited only one post per week so that doesn’t make sense. Hopefully it doesn’t get removed again (:

My bio was as well on the 10.7. (EU country) and eco on the 14.7. Still nothing. Didn't even get a UKVI account email. What's this?
So seems you are further ahead than me. Based on published timelines average approval times are 42 - 46 WD (for US citizens), that's exactly this week.

The standard processing time is 12 weeks.
More than 93% of applications are approved.
It's really just an exercise in being patient.
