no in my opinion it is really useful. you can get a better idea on the progress on your app as well as escalate/etc. strongly recommended, it is expensive but it still helps imonadiaslsbl wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2017 11:24 amDoes contacting ukvi really help? because some people said it's useless. some people said i should contact them. Should i or should i not?
Do you think it's okay to call them up everyday? My course starts next Monday so I really need quick updatesj_sheng45 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2017 12:13 pmno in my opinion it is really useful. you can get a better idea on the progress on your app as well as escalate/etc. strongly recommended, it is expensive but it still helps imonadiaslsbl wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2017 11:24 amDoes contacting ukvi really help? because some people said it's useless. some people said i should contact them.

Congratulations!Mugatiya26 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2017 10:47 amThanks guys.. Waiting for VFS to get in touch now. I'll keep you posted.
Good luck to all. But I suggest you all call UKVI one last time, cos a lot of decisions seem to have been made over the weekend.

Congrats Mugatiya!!! Hopefully you'll get it soon!! After seeing this, I called them and they still said it's awaiting a decision. But the university said the CAS is used so there's that at least.Mugatiya26 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2017 10:20 amJust called UKVI and was told a decision was made. I hope they werent bluffing.

Did ukvi really told you that they hired more staff? seriously?? How did they told you about that? through call or email? what exactly did they say?polishkap wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2017 2:16 pmHey everyone, I've applied for my visa on the 29th of August from Saint-Petersburg, Russia. At the visa application centre they've told me the standard processing time for this location would be 10 days, I've received confirmation from UKVI Sheffield on the 30th of August and haven't heard from them since. Today I rang UKVI up and they said visa processing times have been extended/delayed up to 30 working days and there's nothing they can do. My course starts on the 25th, CAS number is still marked as assigned and not used. UKVI also said that they've employed lots of new staff to deal with the tier 4 backlog, so hopefully we'll all get our visas soon. I haven't waited for half as long as you guys but this waiting game is creating so much anxiety

.I hope you will get your decision soon as the UKVI is super-active now a days for the july applicants.In these days many of the applicants I know got their visas so I would say don't waste money and just wait for this week.I hope that you'll hear from them soon.And the thing I missed is that I haven't been called for the 2nd interview.nabeelhussain92 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2017 2:20 pmI have the same timeline:NomanRafique wrote: ↑Tue Sep 12, 2017 1:51 pmHello Everyone, I am following these posts from more than a month ago.As I got email and sms from Gerry's to collect my passport.Tomorrow I am going to collect my passport.I am going to share my timeline with you guys:-
