Congrats Benuromi! Please can you tell what teleperformance centre your wife submitted her application ? Lagos VI, Ikeja or Abuja? - thanks. We received a decision has been made email since 21st July 2015 and no word since then from VI Teleperformance re passport  he Benuromi:
As i promised to come back to give my timeline. First, i want to thanks JUSTWISE, GHM4EVA for all your advice. Also to DAMYOYEPITAN, i found you in Narialand and thanks you for all your calls and advice. i won't forget KEN (Birmingham) for all your daily calls, your advice play a big roles. You are now my brother and part of my family now and thanks to your wife too. And to those i couldn't mention here, God will bless you all. You will always find favour when you need it.
My wife spouse visa timeline.
7th May 2015: Filled online application form and NHS subcharge. i sent the password to my wife to log in and print out the application form included all receipts.
12th May 2015: She went for her biometric, submitted her TB certificate, passport and was interviewed in skype the same day. They asked her to spell her full name, to spell husband full names, when and how we met, when she saw me last, if she have any relatives in UK, where is her parents and her job.
13th May 2015: she received an email from UKVI that they have received her application and the will let her know when decision is made.
5th June 2015: I received a call from a guy and asked me to attend interview on the 12th June but i told him i was on shift that day as i am not sure i will get it off if i take that date. He asked me my other day off, i gave him 16th and 17th June. He took 16th.
16th June 2015: i went for interviewed at Schegen VAC, The Battleship Building, 179 Harrow Road, London for 13.00 (1pm). I got there as early as 10.00am as i don't want to be late. Because i was there early, they called me in at 12.00  . I went into the small room ( scared as i don't know what to expect) and a lady was there waiting for me on Skype. she drill me for about 30mins but thanks God i gave her all the right answer as i was prepared.
16th June 2015: my wife received email from sheffield that they are unable to verify her PTE test online and asked her to allocate it to UKVI for verification. when we forward the result to UKBA, we forgot to tick it which allowed them to verify it. I was running around try to sort it out which i eventually did because they gave us only 7 days to sort it out or her application will be refused. I sent the numerous email and post some letters to them without reply from them.
14th July 2015: After i have sent a lot of email, she received this email below:
Dear Mrs xxxxxxxx,
Your application is in the queue awaiting further processing by an Entry Clearance Officer, if there are any problems verifying your test results you will be contacted.
UKVI aims to complete settlement applications within 12 weeks. Any emails sent for updates prior to this time elapsing will not be responded to.

24th July 2015: My wife received an email from UKVI that a decision have been made and should expect the passport within 3-5days. That is when my heart bit was racing 1,000,000 mile per hour. ( 11 WEEKS & 3 DAYS)
28th July 2015: she received email from Teleperformance that her passport was ready for collection.
30th July 2015: My wife went to teleperformance and collected her passport and she open the passport right there and wow, spouse visa stamped on it date 23rd, July 2015. I couldn't eat that day. it seems like a dream but it was life. A journey of a mile start with a step. i will post my supporting documents to give new applicant an idea. Book her ticket already. so so happy now.
If you take time to plan, seek advice, you will get a good result.
Once again to my brother i met in Narialand, KEN (Birmingham) and his wife, thank you so much. you supported me from starting to the end even if we have not see face to face, we will see soon. i won't forget about the ticket lol but i bought it finally. Also to DAMYOYEPITAN, Thanks you for all you effort. God Almight will bless you families and everyone who contributed but not mention here. Non of you will ever lack.
NB
Please, it will be nice if everyone that got advice here come back to give timeline and experience. It will help other new applicants just as you was advice before you applied. I know it take time and stress to seat down and type everything but every help you give to someone worth it.
I wish all new applicant God favour on your side. Don't rush your application. take time to gather all necessary documents. Sorry for any English mistake or typing error as i am already tired seating here composing my journey.
LONG LIVE EVERYONE,
LONG LIVE NARIALAND.
