Hi guys

Ho playing trick with us. They think we r fool. Who spent lot of money. I noticed first they sent 31oct email and also said its our aim to complete cases. Otherwise we will write u. After that now they sending meaningless emails like not straightforward
Hold lifted on some cases other r still hold blah blah

They just making lame excuses to take more time. It's half month past no body got visa which was on hold like Nov, Jan, Feb anyone got visa-no.
So do u think they will give before 31.

I think no. They just giving visa only recent applicants July Aug not others. I think we all need to do sponsors should go in front of Sheffield office and sit their until they don't giving exact tym of application decision.
I think this is last thing which left now. Beacause Ho has no effect BBC news or other complaints or parliament discussion.

Give u r views I'm I right or wrong
Thnks

you r right , HO's dealing with non priority cases is unjustified , in my case after 8 months they asked my husband send IELTS for life skills and rejected IELTS for academic with C1 for doctors, he sent it now 22 days gone, still no reply. its 9 months now, really frustrating, they are treating applicants with standard case as lesser humans.

I will be going to their offices and staging a protest. HO, media, ombudsman, parliament can't help. Its time we went to the offices. I won't move until i get a decision on visa.

Hi Syd
They specifically told us on the email not to contact them, do you think it would be a negative to think to contact them?

But they told us on email not to contact them? There's one big paragrath of it. I thought it would be a negative thing to do so

I noticed lots of people got their documents back from sheffield a short time after biometrics.
My husband didnt get his documents back and we r on day 80. Does that mean anything?

Hi,
I applied from India. I did not contact them after 31st october email as I thought may be we should get some decision, but still 2 weeks are left to 31st october. I will be waiting till end of this week, if not I will contact them to know the status.

Did u checked the status after receiving 31st october email?
