Hi

My status check didn't work until decision was made. It will work when a decision has been made.

I agree with the above. I submitted my priority application from Pakistan on 1st april - until Monday, 'My application was yet to be assessed. So it took 40 workings days just to open my file. They also returned my documents within 2 days but at the moment I think Home Office are just aiming towards...

Hi guys I'm not sure everyone is aware but you can check your status online for free from here https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/app/visa_application/checkvisastatus It does not work for everyone but my friend checked her status with her GWF number and it said decided. So I'm thinking the refer...

So I just called UKVI call centre and they said my application is awaiting decision. I was pleased as I had been getting "waiting to be assessed" for some time. However, they said there's been no change since I first submitted. I told my friend who is also applied around the same time and he called ...

Hi,

If you have a NICOP or overseas Pakistani card then you are indeed a dual national. This won't affect your application.

Hi

Don't worry. When HO called me for a different matter they used a withheld number. I was in a meeting at the time and they called 4-5 times before I answered.

Further - settlement cases are resolved in Sheffield which has a 0114 code. So likely it was not HO

Thanks for the reassurance!

I was looking back at my cover letter and instead of family settlement visa I wrote family visit visa (spouse).

I didn't make any mistakes and used the correct application form too but it's just one small mistake.

Please can anyone guide me and let me know if it will be a problem?

I'm afraid if he has already submitted his biometrics then he will be unable to change to fast track now.

There's also a bit of a backlog at the moment so even priority visas are taking 6-12 weeks (on average in my opinion).

My own case isn't on hold although it's yet to be processed so I hope and pray that mine will be ok. However, I know someone who recently got their case on hold and she received case not straight forward message and then hold message. I'm not quite sure what straight forward means I guess that it's ...

So I just got some information who is on hold and got some extra information from HO. Her case was on hold despite meeting the financial threshold but he case was put on hold as HO thought it was not straightforward. So it looks like if HO thinks your case is either not meeting the financial thresho...

That is very strange indeed. I'm sorry to hear about your situation. In my humble opinion - in the recent case, it was commented that the income threshold is indeed fair and further that it should be between £18,600 and almost £26k. In my personal opinion I think the government were looking to raise...

Are you in salaried employment or self employed? In my case I have applied from India.. Jan 2017 I have no kids no income Problems ..... it's over 26k it will be over 6 months end of this may... So I really don't know .... what's going on Nd etc .... I am guessing it's about this new pm..... I don't...

So not sure if everyone knows but from 1st June, it will cost £5.48 for the online UKVI status check and £1.37 per minute to call. So anyone who wants to check and doesn't want to be ripped off, make sure you check before this date. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_dat...

I agree and whilst I totally agree with admins that some previous threads turned into several pages of spam of People asking "any updates' etc - I think you can't totally understand what's going through an applicants mind until you actually apply. It's one of the most depressing situations that I've...

As there has been a reported backlog of applications - i thought it will be a helpful thread to establish to keep March and April applicants informed. I applied 1st April on priority. Our application is yet to be assessed despite escalation. Admins - this won't be a spam thread but we are unable to ...

What's the status of your application? This is my first application and applied on 1st April with Priority. My application is yet to be assessed. @nehakhan M really stressful nowadays as I have reapplied on 14th feb 2017 n paid for priority service albut m still waiting for my decision.On the other ...

Hi, as long as you meet the financial requirement through another means it should be ok. However, I would declare this information to them and say what you've told us on this post.

Unfortunately I don't think this is possible as the VFS centres run this and it's put in at the time of application.

Hi Guys Just an update to my escalation. Home Office said 'The application is in the Priority Queue. Payment for Priority Service means the application will be placed in front of the queue and assessed ahead of other non-priority visa applications it does not provide any guarantee as to how quickly ...

It's been 6 weeks and I applied with priority. My case was escalated and they basically said so what if it's priority...it's yet to be assessed!

Hi, So I've had a couple of experiences with UKVI call centre and yes you're right -the staff has very little knowledge however - they aren't actually UKVI staff, they are employed by HGS and they have several corporate campaigns that they work as a telephone call centre and email management for so ...
