Uk Visit Visa

[Khuram1987]

I contacted UKVI by phone and they have escalated the issue.

I suggest you do the same as they were suprised as to why I haven't received the passport back yet.

Hi All

I got the following email from nedelvisainfo@fcdo.gov.uk

Thank you for your UK visa application which has been received and is under consideration.  We aim to process applications:

Non-settlement within 15 working days
Priority Visas within 5 working days
Settlement within 60 working days.

Due to high demand for UK visas your application is still waiting to be assessed by a UKVI decision maker. Please accept our apologies for this delay, we are working hard to complete your visa application as quickly as possible.. You do not need to do anything; we will contact you should we require any additional information from you

Please be assured that we will continue to progress your application to enable a decision to be made as soon as possible. We will notify you by email once a decision has been made.

Please do not go to the visa application centre until you have been advised that your passport is ready for collection.  If you are applying in the Passport Passback category and have not already submitted your passport please do so as soon as possible as assessment of your application cannot be completed until this is received.

Did anyone get this email when they applied for visit visa? If yes then did you get your visa? If yes then how many days did it take to get the visa after this email

Any comments from anyone will be greatly helpful

This is just standard email. Don’t trust this. Wait for more than 30wd. My parents came already, flight was filled with students. They will prioritise student visa but sure visit visa will be 30 + wd.

Its been 31 wd and i haven't heard anything back

This is getting frustrating now

Anyone else who have received visit visa from Cochin, India after waiting 31 wd? Please do reply

Does anyone know how to contact them to find out what's happening with the visit visa?

Got visa processed and dispatched email yesterday morning
Biometrics was done in Cochin on 21th September 2021

[kashiramzan]

I applied for 3 VISAs on 23rd September, got 3 issued emails on 19th October, 2 issued emails again on 27th October, 1 passport collection on 1st Nov (Granted) . Extremely frustrated that I have not received other 2 passports till yet. After reading this forum, I contacted UKVI UK number on 8th November, after which I got call from Islamabad that I will be receiving my dicuments in a couple of days.
Can someone please guide further what could be the issue, I fear they have misplaced my passports somehow. Is that even possible. Please guide what should I do further
