Hi Misskatie Congrats!!! Finally they have started working on hold applications:) Just a quick question, when they said it has been approved; did they mean the visa has been granted?? Because I've been told they don't give u any info over the phone. Until u receive the passport yourself?! Best of l...

Not exactly success, but my partners application is on hold & the HO called me on Friday asking me to send financial proof as they didn't receive it with his application. (Total BS) They said they're starting to lo...

Hi all. Just a quick update. I'm the sponsor for my Peruvian partner. His application was put on hold in May. Just now I got a call from the embassy in Bogotá where his application is being processed. They said they're starting to assess applications on hold now. The lady said My partners applicatio...

As today I came to know one of my friend who applied just a week before us received back her documents and we have not Can " awaiting decision " even means that " we have not yet opened your application?!!"coz I'm gettin...

Hi Misskatie, Where did your partner apply from?? Lima, Peru. His GWF number doesn't work on the tracker either. I just got this reply from the email enquiry: " Thank you for your enquiry dated on 26/07/2017. The previous interaction was escalated on 30/06/2017 (escalation reference number - 170615...

I thought the hold had been removed, however my partner just received the hold email again :evil: seriously what is going on?? Misskatie, it looks like they will remove it only 10th of August and then will finally look into our applications again. And they have 5000 applications on hold. It's terri...

My solicitor just sent me a brief update: "Just for your info, my other similar client called the UKBA helpline and was advised (over a week ago) that it will take at least another 30 days for their application to be decided. This was similar to when this happened before. However there is no more h...

Hello everyone I would say it's a good news as they will start working on 5000 applications from 10th of august... I would say doesn't matter how long it takes from the 10th as long as now we know they gonna look at our applications..... Another good thing is that if they really wanted to reject Us...

There's some interesting people to follow on twitter - mostly solicitors who are posting on the recent update. The most helpful one I've found is JMWilsonUK. They summarised the main change as "Home Office amendments following MM case ruling -The Home Office has finally published their efforts to a...

Everything happening makes no sense at all. It clearly stated the new changes will apply to application made from 10th august onward. I think they should have taken off the hold on our application with immediate effects and start to make decisions But on the other hand why did they wait for the new...

Guys I'm on £19,200 that's just above the minimum requirement but I also have £29,000 in savings. Do I stand a chance? Speaking of just above the minimum...my husband earns 18760 (!) , no savings whatsoever, so...we are in a worse situation :D you should be fine, best of luck with the visa! Hopeful...

With this new rules my question is when will they take the hold off our application and when will start to make decisions. With 5,000 or more when will it be my turn, everything is confusing no one to tell us exactly what is going on. Not too sure, but hopefully now the rules have been changed the ...

Hi all. My solícitos response.. Hi Katie. Have not had time to look through new rules yet but the Home Office nave been forced to be more lenient so it can only benefit your situation. I think you met the old rules anyway but they just put a hold on all cases where 3rd party support was involved. I...

Hi, Can I ask for some clarity in regard to the ruling from anyone out there... So they are basically saying anyone who got the "on hold" email would have been rejected (but they couldn't until the legal update from Supreme court.). From my reading this is the impression i got. We received the on h...

After reading the the IMMIGRATION CHANGES one thing is made clear that only those applications which fall for refusal are put on Hold due to not meeting financial threshold especially involving children. Now million dollar question is What about the applications above 18,600 and where no children e...
