I submitted an EEA Family Permit application on 5/20 to New York VFS. Biometrics appointment was on 6/6 and the passport arrived on 6/14. Up until now, I still do not hear anything back. I have escalated twice.

This morning I was told by the Consulate that the application is being considered under settlement scheme in Sheffield. We are living in the US and have no intention of settling in the UK. Is it abnormal? Is there anyway I can get my visa and passport sooner? I am getting anxious as our flight is approaching.

Hello Everyone,
I am also going though this waiting game, trying to figure out when the timeline actually starts. Here are my dates so far.
18th July 2019 Bio and docs submitted
18th July 2019 Received the email from TLS "Your visa application has been sent to the Decision Making Centre for processing".
19th July 2019 tracking on TLS shows Application Received By DMC
22nd July 2019 Email received from UK Decision Making Centre in Sheffield " Your online application has been received at the UK Decision Making Centre. Your application is currently being prepared for consideration by an Entry Clearance Officer" .

All i wanted to know is do the 14 days start to count from the application submitted date or from the UK Decision Making Centre in Sheffield e-mail? I did call the call center to ask and that was a huge waste of time they just told me to wait or go look at the website:(

Anyone know the answer or have experience here?
Hi there,

Have you heard anything or received your visa back yet?
I applied for my daughter on the 19th of July from Joburg and we're still waiting!

IS it 15 working days from the Sheffield email or from Biometrics appointment?

Hi everyone,

I am new to this forum. I am a Portuguese national living in UK since 2 years and my wife has applied for eu settlement family permit from Dubai.
Timeline-
24th July - biometrics done and application submitted.
6th August- email saying documents received in Sheffield

Didn’t hear anything after this.

Please can someone tell me how long it usually takes for a decision after not straight forward email???

Hi All,

I would like to share my recent experience and possibly gave you all some hope.

18/07 - my wife scanned her documents and done biometrics in Bogota Colombia

29/07 - mail that Sheffield received her application and considering..

Ever since nothing. No mail no call..

After 15 working days we started to worry!

15/08 - I called UK visa and Immigration
Paid for call and been told that decision has been made and we should get answer beginning of next week.

22/08 - I called again..spend over £20 just to find out that decision been made on 05/08 and case will be escalated.

23/08 today my wife vent to VFS centre to find out what’s going on as we find strange that decision was made 3 weeks ago and don’t get even email about it..
They gave her passport with visa in it dated back to 05/08.
I guess nobody bother to let her know that her visa are ready, so we lost 3weeks.

I fond this highly upsetting and unprofessional not to mentioning the UKVI paid useless service!
It would be nice if they use all those money they collect from us for some more efficient and transparent system!

Anyway..the good news is that we can finaly be together:)
Wish you all good luck guys!

I am so nervous because today I received an email that Please be informed you that your passport is ready for collection, please visit your nearest UK Visa Application centre along with original receipt.

I applied for my mother from Karachi. My wife is Eea settled status and I have dual nationality, so my wife applied for her mother in law (my mother).

Timeline:
Online application submitted on 30th June 2019.

But my mother booked biometric late on 19th August 2019.

20 August 19- email received that Your online application has been received at the UK Decision Making Centre. Your application is currently being prepared for consideration by an Entry Clearance Officer.

30 August 19 at 6am - The processed visa application for GWF reference number - GWFxxxxxxxx was received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 8/30/2019 .

And surprisingly within an hour another email received-
Please be informed you that your passport is ready for collection, please visit your nearest UK Visa Application centre along with original receipt, and original CNIC with copy from Monday to Friday in between 09:00 AM to 04:00 PM.

I informed my mother and now so much anxious about the decision. Hope finger crossed 🤞
