COE processing times

@Smith

I�fve been waiting for mine since 28th december. I think the minimum waiting time now is about 4-6 months looking at how they are working and considering the golden week holidays coming up soon.

i�fll be reaching my 4th month of waiting next week and was hoping for it to come before the holidays but i�fm not sure now.

It�fs absolutely exhausting to wait this long especially when the waiting time specified on all their websites is 1-3 months maximum.

Hopefully it comes soon x

Anyone here applying for longterm spouse? Did you receive your COE?

@E

I did Apply for a Longterm Spouse Visa (second time) at November 22 2023 and they asked me for additional paper and in 4 days (german time) i'm waiting exactly 5 month but i have the feeling my answer comes soon

i will keep you up to date when i get mine

The long term process is also long because our attorney said it's only 1-3 months

What is your visa status

Hi its long term visa ( 1yr) thank you so much. Godbless

Congrats everyone who received their COE! And thanks for sharing your updates.

(I know it won't make mine come faster but seeing people receive their COE makes me feel a little relief, like a proof that things are moving inside the opaque immigration office)

Went 3 times till now immigration ,they always says it�fs screening . Three weeks ago they said please wait little bit now it�fs takes average 3-4 months
