How long does it take to get acknowledgment from London office for overseas spouse application
Normally VO doesn’t send acknowledgement, you can know from courier tracking number that VO received the documents

So i received GCMS notes by email today.

Eligibility: Not started
Security: Not started
Criminality: Not started
Medicals: Not started

Documents sent to VO since November 2019.

Guess I and my family are on our own.
I would not even think about it anymore, they can keep on chatting in their offices and pretend to work at the expense of a separated family.

Goodluck to everyone!

You get pre arrival letter only when eligibility is passed. In my case, it has not been done yet. Generic application form, additional family information, civil documents, etc. Accra VO

If you order GCMS notes, it would state eligibility passed. Then security, criminality and medicals next. You're lucky your application is being processed by a reliable VO.
Those of us from West Africa have the worst experiences for no explainable reason.
The only thing that may delay your application would be the Covid19 issue.
Good luck to you.

There will be no passport request no police report and no medical submissions.

Permanent residence applications that we’re still processing
Some steps you may not be able to complete right now include

  • submitting your passport or supporting documents, such as a police certificate
  • completing an immigration medical exam
