Still waiting for a decision.....

Hi

My wife applied from TLS centre in Rabat Morocco (Priority service) and we submitted her biometrics mid-March 2020. We have received 2 standard emails from UKVI asking us to wait for decision.

TLS has been open from 29 June 2020 but we are still waiting for a decision. If is anyone in a similar situation who have now received their passport back, please share your experience.

Thanks

Hi All,

We are in the same boat. We applied online back in march and submitted biometrics/documents on 29th June using the priority method. This was in the Dublin UKVAC.

Still waiting for a decision.

Yup same.

We got those same emails from ukvi.

My husband submitted the app on 24th Feb. Biometrics 17th March.

Even though in Pakistan theVFS VACs are now working on returning passports that was from 8th July they said they are starting work we have heard nothing.

Hang on there Guys, soon will be good news.

We kept tracking ours via TLS web, today morning they changed the status to application transferred to VAC, few minutes later, TLS email decision made then ready for collection. Waooh! God is great.

Granted

We applied on 9th March then had bio-metrics on 13 March. We had the usual process not straight forward and on Hold emails on 28th May. VAC opened on 29th June

All the best Guys, soon will be good news for you.

Maashaa'Allaah congratulations. That's great news.

Quick question. Isn't the VAC closed on weekends or did you receive the call yesterday?

Still waiting almost 13 months

AS4LYF · Post by **AS4LYF** » Sat Aug 08, 2020 3:18 pm

Hi

I have received an email from my solicitor titled Passport Collection.

Dear Applicant

This is to inform you that your processed visa application have been received at the UK visa application center ISLAMABAD. Application can be collected from Monday to Friday during (0800-1600 hrs). Friday prayer break during (1300-1400 hrs).

However the email does not have my wife's name. It doesn't have the GWF reference number either.

Now this could be for other clients that have given their case with my solicitor as well.

My wife has not received any text message.

My question is does my wife call the Islamabad vac on Monday next week or does she physically go to the Islamabad vac.

Has anyone else experienced this before.

I would appreciate any help and advice.

Been waiting over a year since the biometrics in July 2019.
