Hi, oh no, our application didn't take 2 years. It's just that I had to wait for my divorce to come through and then we had to go to Tunisia and then when it was denied I had to put my flat on the market and then give 2 months notice at work blah blah blah but it was still 2 years apart.

Felicity, my experience is that they don't really need you for anything. I was told that the entry clearance officer was sure I loved my husband, but needed to know how committed he was to the relationship rather than my feelings towards him and therefore I wasn't required at interview. However, once I'd moved to Algeria and we reapplied 6 months later, the entry clearance officer rang me for a chat and she said we had obviously proved ourselves now and they gave him a visitors visa.
