Definitely Nabilla!You will get good news soon.
I called them today again.they said it is not 60 days yet.They count 60 days from biometric date.
Do you have any idea what the common reason for refusal? I have not seen any refusal so far.
I haven't send any call least but sent all whats app, imo and viber call log. I went to back home after 6 month of our marriage. Also i had work tour in asia my wife was with me. i have submitted all relevant documents.

Even ECO did not call me for enquire. Did you receive call from them?

Good Day & Best Regards

Hi,
Above is the timeline for my partners fiancé visa to marry me. Today is the 60th working day since the biometrics were taken but my partner still has not received back her passport. She chose to collect it from a courier offcice and not from the VFS centre where the biometrics were taken.
I called UKVI yesterday to get an update and the advisor said a decision has been made and the passport has been sent back and we now have to wait for a SMS. We have organised the wedding for 22nd July which we showed in the application so time is very short. Really was hoping to get the passport back today.
Also i have not received my documents back from Sheffield.
Any information from experience will be helpful.

I have received this email after paid email query..
...Thank you for your enquiry.  The processing of this application has not been straightforward.  We are continuing to work on the application and will make a decision as soon as we are able to. We cannot give a time scale for when a decision will be made, however I have escalated this to the appropriate Entry Clearance team so that it can be progressed as quickly as possible.

If you have any further enquiries, please visit our website at www.GOV.UK
Anyone suggestion...????
My biomatric was on 4tg January....

Hi guys do you know what number ukvfs lahore call from? Do they call from mobile number or landline?My wife missed call from number checked on true caller it says visa uk!!
Google ‭states number as +9290007860‬ but could be a different department that called and had a different number.

I reckon your passport is ready to be collected as as you just hit the 60 working day mark.

wait till monday as they are closed in the weekend. goodluck

I am in the same situation. My documents were received at Sheffield on 29th May and it was a priority application. I receieved email application received on 12 june but no documents returned yet. On other threads, I have seen people with priority receiving back their documents within 2-3 days of this email. I dont know what is going on :(

Decision made text from VFS :

It has been 10 weeks since application submission and biometrics. Seeing from other timelines you guys have received the original documents with a month or so. I am worried whether I will get my documents back or not. Has anyone not received their documents yet?

Worried and confused!!
I am in the same situation. My documents were received at Sheffield on 29th May and it was a priority application. I receieved email application received on 12 june but no documents returned yet. On other threads, I have seen people with priority receiving back their documents within 2-3 days of this email. I dont know what is going on :(
I havent got my documents back either
