Hi all, I have been following this thread and the previous one for a while, Biometrics were sent on 13/01/2017 from Sao Paulo Brazil, and the On Hold email was received on 07/03/2017. Like most of you here, we have tried contacting the HO endlessly and it was useless, As helpful as they were too, t...

Hi Simon, great template. May I add the following based on my experience contacting MP few weeks ago? 1. MP will require more details to which you may have chosen to provide. Passport number of the applicant and expiry date, other listed names on application, email address submitted on application,...

Hi bham, If everybody is happy with that course of action and agreed that they would like me to prepare a draft it would be a privilige to do it. I could have a general draft template on here tomorrow at some stage for you to review and decide if you are ok with it. You could then edit for your own...

Hi sorry for jumping on your post. Don't know how other to find out what is going on. We are going through a company to get spouse visa. Been married over a year and its just been set back after set back. Seriously frustrating. We now have everything and 6 weeks ago tried to pay and book appointmen...

I haven't received a decision yet, HO is holding my passport and it has been 21 weeks since we applied.

I'm new to this site. I also received a hold email 15 weeks after my biometrics. I was told that I'll be getting my passport back. I just wanted to know how long after receiving the hold email did people receive their passport back? Hey @ProC1C, They only return passports back depending on the coun...

From what I've searched online, this does not seem like the first time they have made this pause.

Mine = married couple - partner makes 22k - no children - application from Brazil - biometrics 13JAN2017 - received the pause notification on 07MAR2017 - no further information ever since

Update on my case. Here's I've got update on my case from the Home Office. Application Submitted on 7th of February 2017. They sent me a letter on 24th of March that they need more time to decide my application. After that I've received another letter from the Home Office 24th of may 17 that they w...

Hey @tchindy, How long have you been waiting? My application was delivered on Feb 14th and still besides that generic cryptic email no response. When replied to my email, they said that 95% percent of the applications are processed within 12 weeks but 100% could last as long as 24 weeks. This is in...

Hey guys, I also been waiting for updates on this "pause" in application processing. Received the email about the pause at the beginning of May. Enquiry service is responding in a laconic manner with a general response - "your application is being processed, please allow up to 24 weeks for decision...

Hi, We are in Brazil waiting for a Settlement visa for my wife's child. She has a settlement visa already, I am a UK national and we handed our visa in on the 26th January and paid for priority. I earn over double the threshold, however our application has been paused too. ALL APPLICATIONS are paus...

Hi, My application has also been paused and my husband also meets the minimum threshold. I have called the UKVI and the lady explained that they have paused ALL (she even said "please highlight 'all'") settlement applications. Those generic emails and information are very confusing. She also said th...

Hi there, same thing happened to me. They have sent this email even though I do meet the minimun threshold. From what I have searched online, they seem to have paused the whole lot to attend those applications that have been declined previously

Hi there, It seems that the Home Office just paused the whole lot. I also received the same email and I meet the minimum threshold required, and looking online I've seen that a few people have got the same email. I tried to contact them throught the UK Visas and Immigration international enquiry ser...
