Visa timeline/ISD status query :)
Hi,
Hoping to get some clarity around visa processing stages shown on ISD!
My fiancé is Turkish and applied for a join family D visa at the start of April. He applied through the VFS centre in Istanbul so application is being reviewed in Ankara.
VFS tracking still just shows an update saying when his application was dispatched to the Irish embassy. Today we created an ISD profile and it’s showing his visa application is at stage 3 - application in progress, document check in progress.
The application is based on him being a parent to an Irish citizen child and I know these seemingly get prioritised but I’m just looking for clarity on if it is or not!
So I guess my question is - what’s the “normal” timeline to move from stage 2 to stage 3 in the process? I’ve seen some people saying they’ve been waiting 10+ months at stage 2.
TLDR; can anyone share their status timeline on ISD? Just want to know others’ timing to move from stage 2 to stage 3.
Many thanks!
A
