Skilled Worker Dependant Visa – Standard Processing Timeline?
Hi everyone,
My husband and I applied for our Skilled Worker visas on the **same day**. His main Skilled Worker application was submitted with **priority service** and has already been approved.(August 10th)
However, when I applied as his dependant, I **didn’t get an option to choose priority service**, so my application is being processed under the **standard service**.
Has anyone been in a similar situation recently? How long did your dependant application take after applying on the same day as the main applicant?
I also already have **travel plans coming up**, so I’m feeling really stressed waiting for the decision. 😥
If anyone has recently received their Skilled Worker dependant visa on standard processing, I’d really appreciate it if you could share your timeline, especially:
Application date
Biometrics/identity verification date
Decision date
Whether the main applicant used priority
Any recent experiences would really help! 🙏
