Had anyone choose the service to collect the passport from the courier company like blur dart instead of vfs centre?

Do vfs still text you when decision is made and passport ready for collection??

Hi Sumit,. I applied in January 30 and 60 wd days over today and still waiting for decision.Hope God listen our prayers soon.

Hi Hardeep5086,

I got similar situation like yours. On 60th day I received email from Home Office that my application is not straightforward and they can’t give me time frame, they will write to me if anything changes. It’s been 77working days complete today and I haven’t heard anything.
Did you receive any updates regarding your case?

I hope and pray will hear something from HO for any good news 🙏

Nothing cryptic about it. It is fairly clear that UKVI are asking you to send whatever document they have asked. Simply send it.
