yes it is ready for collection. all the best. please keep us updated :)

it means it has been received for pick-up. once the passport is collected you will get a message saying it has been collected.

All the best

Ask him to check his junk folder, there might be an email asking him to collect his passport in there. :)
Hope it's a yes.:)

Received this email last Thursday (7 days after biometric and document submission)

“Thank you for your online application which has been received at the UK Decision Making Centre. Your application is currently being prepared for consideration by an Entry Clearance Officer.”

I used the priority service and also went to the London office for document submission

Does anyone know roughly when to expect the next email from ECO? Its just that some people get this email on the day of biometric/submission so I cant figure it out..

Quick question, received an email saying processed visa received (generic decision made)

Do they send a second email or sms (so far had no sms, only emails) about the final decision? e.g. if for any reason they do not issue it, do they send a letter or email?

You are not informed of the decision by email or SMS. You will only know if approved or refused when you collected the passport.

I just realised that the DOB of my mother and my Mother in law is not correct in our application. Is that the reason of delay in our case?

Hi CR001 this information isn’t correct, I received my outcome letter attached to an email prior to receiving my passport.

From where did you make your application? That comment was referring to applications from outside the UK.
