Hi, I submitted mine under priority service, they told me no need to attend an appointment now and should be receiving a decision within 5 days, all the processes were done online, more than 4 weeks now - still waiting... I applied previously for my current job, only took like 3 days, not sure what's happening now...

I submitted my application on the 5th of July. On the 7th of July they asked for police registration certificate. I added it, and since then they are not replying. I called to UKVI l, they said because i added police registration certificate my application moved from priority service to standard 8 weeks service.

Did you also apply without attending an appointment? (only checking ID from an app right?)
A Police registration certificate? I thought it's not required anymore from 5th of August. They didn't ask me for anything since my submission on the 12th July (I moved to a new address but didn't have time to register with police, then I was tole I do not need to do so anymore...) I escalated my case today, don't know what's going on, they didn't ask me to provide any other documents.

Yes, they asked for police registration certificate on the 7th of July. And now they say, because we asked you for additional information (police registration certificate) - your application moved from priority to standard. After my escalation they replied: 'We can not say when your visa will be approved. Wait'.

Yes, i applied without attending the appointment (thorough the App on my phone).

Grrr... my case is that the agent applied on my behalf, it's not clear why I have to wait for so long, my previous experience was like 3 working days under priority service, seems like we can't do anything but wait. I have an upcoming trip to abroad next month, might have to cancel it.

When did you receive a reply after escalating it? I rang UKVI today and they just gave me a ticket number and told me don't ring them again within 10 days...

Hi all,

I have the same situation where I submitted on 26 July with nothing heard yet (4weeks now) under the priority service route.

Called on 03007906268 (press 2-5-1) and raised an escalation. Hopefully will hear back soon… had to cancel my holiday in early Sep as well… sigh…

Hi All,

My Application was submitted in country standard skilled based visa (employer switch) and it’s been the 10th week since biometric and 12th week since online application. I have checked previous response and I think they were received in earlier time frame. Anyone else in similar situation?
