Hi, i have received the same email but a little different l, they didn't ask me they sent back my passport, stressed depressed and frustrated of this visa thing please advise

Following a Supreme Court judgment on Wednesday 22 February 2017, the Home Office has paused decision-making on some settlement applications – in particular, those failing to meet the minimum income threshold for British Citizens and other settled persons sponsoring visa applications, or where children are involved.

The reason for this pause is to enable the Home Office to consider the implications of the judgement. All other applications will continue to be processed and decided as normal.

As a result UKVI is currently unable to process your application and your documents are being returned whilst this pause is in place.

As soon as we are able to conclude the application we will contact you on the email address you provided within your application.

Hi all - completely emphasise with you. Myself and my civil partner from Mexico have applied for a settlement visa (through the adequate maintence route due to my PIP entitlement and a few days after he had recieved an email saying it was with an ECO he got an email from a named ECO saying this standard messge but also that she had assessed our documentation and we WOULD be refused for failing to achieve the minimum income but currently it would go on hold while the HA pondered this judgement. When I replied to her stating she should be looking at adequate maintenance I got no reply but my partner did a few days later saying his app was with an ECO.....how closely do they actually look at things before making life changing decisions like this?

I submitted my application on April the 4th in Bangkok and was told the same message.
I haven't received any email from them so far.
Just wait and pray...can't really do anything about it really.

We still haven't heard anything back yet however I have called UKVI and they have escalated the case for us. But still in limbo as there is no clear indication on status of file. Have the returned your passport or have u received any other email from Sheffield???

I did contact ukvi and did ask for the state for my visa it's been 12 weeks now ! i did apply as spouse visa priority ! and look now what answer i got from them .

We understand that you would like to know about the current status of your
visa application. I have tracked the status (GWf0000000 and date of birth dd/mm/19xx) and found that there are no current updates. This could be
because your application was submitted recently or the details that you

have been updated. We will be happy to give you the current status of your

I think you should involve your local MP explaining the whole situation. Its not really a humanity, the way they treat people.

I've applied for spouse visa on 30th Dec. Haven't received any update yet!

Is there anyone who is waiting for similar amount of time? :?:

This is really frustrating as we cannot track the application nor we get any reliable response when we call the number given on UKVI site. :roll:

I have applied on 5th jan still waiting with no update whatsoever. Even passport is not returned. Calling UKVI is just wasting money as they have no answers on current situation with the application only they escalated the case but home office still haven't given an update on the application! :roll: :cry:

Hi Randyjan, Have you received any update on your application ? I am in a similar situation . My Lawayer is also puzzled with that same SC judgement email as I meet all the requirements and no one seems to be sure what is happening .
