I needed to apply for my mother visit visa too but due to this covid and red list ban my solicitor stopped me for applying at the moment. Hopefully you all will get decision soon.

If you are from india then you can apply from Monday. If you are from Pakistan then you need to wait till Pakistan come out from Red List.

You can still apply for a visit visa even though Pakistan is on the red list. They are still making decisions as refusals are being given.

Hello - Unfortunately have not heard anything apart from the on hold email that we received. I applied a visa for my mother for 2 years visit visa. I got this email below. Did anyone else receive any emails of this sort. I applied on 22nd July and got the email as on hold on 04th August 2021.

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.

Unfortunately, we will not be able to make a decision on your visa application within these service standards because we require further information to fully assess your application. 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.

Dear Customer,

Your visit visa application has been assessed but we are not able to conclude it at this time due to the UK Government’s published ban on travel to the UK from certain countries due to COVID-19. A list of countries can be found at https://www.gov.uk/guidance/transport-m ... f-covid-19.

Once the ban is lifted we will conclude your application and you will be contacted by the Visa Application Centre to arrange collection or delivery.

If you require your passport before your application is concluded, please contact the Visa Application Centre who will be able to arrange for this to be released.

If you require any further information, please visit https://www.gov.uk/coronavirus or contact us at https://www.gov.uk/contact-uk
