Hi Rakhshanda,

We are in the same boat. My wife submitted the passport in Gerry FedEx Lahore on 15th March 2019. Normally people collected the passport in 10 working days (concluded from many forum readings). Say it's in the weeks but months is exceptional.

Keep in touch with your case. Please.

I’m in the same boat. Submitted my passport in Nigeria last week (29th April). Still waiting...

Rakshshanda, I called UKVI in Sheffield last week. They said the process shouldn’t take more than 3 weeks and that they will try to expedite my case because I’ve been waiting for over 2 years since I applied. Maybe you should call them... or get your MP involved.

MoIQ, did the email to submit your passport mention anything about IHS fee? Mine didn’t mention it, despite the fact that my IHS was refunded when my application was initially refused 2 years ago

Frustrating indeed.

Will the passport get stamped in your home country or will it be sent to Sheffield for stamping then back to your home country?

The e-mail for the submission of the passport also said to wait for seven working days for IHS payment link to be received. If the link is not e-mailed then follow all instructions given in the e-mail. My wife visa issue place is UKVI Sheffield.

Rakhshanda, Don't be frustrated or speed up your wants. We are living in a matrix world where everything is connected, pledged and affected with other related things direct or indirect. Delay is possible but not too long. Take heart, You will be here very soon and this can be any minute you may receive a phone call from FedEx. You will be here very soon.

Dear MoIQ, thanks for writing back. I have not received any follow up email about IHS payment and there is no instruction on how to pay the IHS in the passport submission email. I don’t know what to do now.

Below is the passport submission email.


The decision to refuse your visa application has been overturned and our office will now proceed to the next stage of your application. To complete this process we require you to undertake the following steps:

1. Please submit your passport to the Visa Application Centre (VAC) where you made your original visa application .

2. Please also submit a copy of this e-mail so that the Visa Application Centre will accept your passport.

3. If you require a TB certificate for travel, please ensure this is up to date and valid.

You will be contacted when a decision has been made and your passport is ready to be collected.

Kind regards,

UK Decision Making Centre

They did not send any IHS link. It is now 15 days since I submitted my passport. They have not asked me to pay IHS.

Did you pay IHS? And did you pay the old fee of £650 or new fee of £1200?

Okay. I guess I’ll have to pay £1200 then, even though I paid £650 when I initially applied in 2017! Smh

I contacted the ever incompetent UKVI to get an update on my passport stamping and expedite the case since it’s been over 2YEARS! They said I should continue to wait, and hopefully I should get a response by the 23rd; but if I don’t hear from them by then, I should contact them again. Smh

okay. You’ve been waiting for over 2 months. I think it’s a bit unusual to wait that long. The only person I know from this website, who waited that long, had a criminal history.


Did you contact them on the phone to ask what is going on?
