Hi,
Just received the email too.
The processed visa application for GWF reference number - gwf was received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 8/19/2019 .
If a courier service was purchased from VFS Global, your processed application will be delivered to the chosen address.
If not, your documents can be collected during the designated passport collection times.
Please note this is an auto generated e-mail. Please do NOT reply to this email.
I think this just means the passport is ready to collect and a decision has been made, will probably find out once we collect the passport I guess.
But will keep you posted.
22 working days today.
Nice one, how many emails did you receive overall. I've only received the one saying the application has been received and is being prepared for consideration by entry clearance officer. Goodluck and keep us updated. In Shaa Allah it is good news.
@Nadeem1992 I havent had any updates either. In Shaa Allah you also have some good news very soon. Keep me updated. Thanks

Hi thanks for the reply. So I'm guessing the phone call doesn't matter.

Congratulations. I'm so happy for you. That was nice and quick. So does your partner have to leave around 14th Sep? Why does it take the centre a week to update? Thanks

Hi. I'm good thanks. Hope you are too.
If you do not email them yourself and an email comes from them first it will be a collection email but if you email them to query it it will most likely be a decision has been made email followed by a collection email.
Im going to wait until the 60th working day before contacting them

I'm good thanks. Ok ye that makes sense. I will also wait until 60 working days. My partner has kept passport so I'm guessing they will contact her before hand as they will need passport to issue visa on.

Thanks Cr001, yes my partner paid extra to keep passport as she needs it to go back to afghanistan. She applied through Pakistan. The question regarding are you a national of the country you are applying from - I have entered no. Does this make a difference. Reason for this i explained the application centre is closed in Afghanistan and the government website suggests all application from afghanistan needs to go through pakistan.
