Thank you for your UK visa application which has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process Non Settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service), and Settlement applications within 60 working days.

Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we may not be able to make a decision on your application within our customer service targets. We will continue to progress your application and make a decision as soon as possible.

She gave IELTS exam. Though she did her MBA, the guidelines said that they will look only at the Bachelors degree and the points calculator showed up '0' points for english Language requirement.

Perferred giving tests because the NARIC accreditation takes more than 15 days if you submit degree certificate + a letter from university stating that the medium of instruction was english.

Hope this helps

Good luck to all waiting for their decisions.

Notes: Haven't subscribed for SMS service, hope emails will be automatically sent out whenever status changes! Looks like VFS do not provide online self service tracking with reference number from receipt.

Visa type : Settlement
Location : Chennai.
Date of application : 03/03/2015
ECO requesting document : 15/04/2015

The document requested was my NARIC statement of compariability which i have sent them .

Any idea if this would be a positive outcome because they asked me only for one document.

If we do not receive the documents by the date noted above a decision will be made on your application.
