Ive heard that if your application is sent via Priority Service and you get informed that a decision has been made then you should get told to collect your passport pretty much the next day but thats only if your application is successful.

Looking at safinas case I think thats true
Country applying from: Islamabad, Pakistan
Type of visa applied for: Child Settlement
Visa Priority or Non Priority: Priority
Office Location Processing Visa: Sheffield, UK
Date Application Submitted Online: 21/10/2018
Date Biometrics Taken: 23/10/2018
Documents Sent To Sheffield: 24/10/2018
Documents Received Back From Sheffield: Not Received back yet
Email stating "Your Application is currently being prepared for consideration by an Entry Clearance Officer": 3/11/2018
IHS Payment Required Email: 3/11/2018
Additional Information Email: 26/11/2018
Decision Made Email: 28/11/2018 (I emailed UKVI they did not send one)
Passport Ready for Collection (SMS): 7/12/2018
Passport Collected: 7/12/2018
Decision: Visa Granted

Explain this case then??
ur theory is absolutely untrue and pls don't quote any of my comments again thanks

Where is ur information that if its priorty and its not sent next day for collection then its not successful??
where is ur proof of other cases like this.
Why wud a rejected case take longer even??
iv not even heard back from my case yet
First question- as mentioned in my post. This is what I heard as in someone told me. You want their contact details now? Lol

Second- well safinas for starters....

Third- so on a flip side why would a accepted case take longer?
I hate everyone!

Don’t get angry. I’ll tell you something. I have spoke to my solictor before i got my visa sorted. And he told me that. When they dispatch passport with a decision to home country. Well for us it was Islamabad. They then wait until the next batch go. So for example with myself they told me over the phone on Tuesday the decision is made. But by then they already dispatched the passport and arrived in 3 working days. Then the next batch go after 3 working days. That’s what I’ve been told. So not sure how true this but hey its not worth stressing. If you paid priority then you will get yours within timescale.

Mate, ive been on the forum for months and this is absolutely not true. I spoke to them myself on the 5th. He said it takes 10 working days after decision is made. He advised me, you should get a text any day now. I've got a recording of the call as well, as my phone records all calls.

Today has been 44 working days after my wife did her bio metric and my wife applied for non-priority service. Is it worth calling UK Visa and Immigration call centre about status of Spouse Visa? What kind of detail they can give to me if I call them?
Is 0203 481 1736 the number to call at call centre? I know the call cost £1.37 per minute.
cause yours is non-priority its not worth ringing before 60th working day. i feel its a waste of time.
