Is there anyone else on here that has got word that a decision has been made on their application on or after the 25th September, if so have you received an email about collecting you documents, they said on the 25th September that a decision had been made but they can't discuss it over the phone to email and that we would be contacted soon to collect the documents but haven't heard anything so just wondering if anyone else has heard anything and how long it take between the decision being made and the document ready to be collected.

Hope everyone get their decisions soon.

our decision made on 22nd September but haven't heard anything, called them today and same answer again that you will get email or txt from VFS any day.

Today was my 60th Day from Biometrics. So my timeline is in accordance with the Home office SLA. I'm very lucky to be receiving a response so soon, especially if approved.

Praying for everyone.

Hi yes I got a call at the end of September from then home office asking when my partner intended to enter the country. I told them November. He picked up his passport yesterday - visa granted and he has to enter between 1 November - 1 December. No email about 31st October as his was already decided before this was sent.

Just in case anyone Is wondering - the tracker has never worked for his application even now it’s been decided

Also, I applied priority & got a refund of my fee in July so I urge everyone who applied priority to do the same

Good luck to everyone still waiting

Hi all. Quick update.

My Peruvian parnter applied in Lima in April. Hold email received In May. At the beginning of September the embassy Called me to advise they didn’t recieve my income documents and I had 10 days to send them. Sent them on September 5th. Today the embassy Called me asking when my parnter intends to travel. I asked if this means it’s been approved and she said yes! So. They are processing hold applications, just painfully slowly. Good luck to everyone still waiting

Hi Misskatie, did you get a decision yet and did you receive the 31st October email. I also applied on April and recieved the hold email on July.

Hi,

Congratulations on your visa! Do you have any more information regarding getting the priority fee back? How do I go about getting this?

Many thanks
