So to update everyone on this, we did get the 10yrs visa after a single, six months visa application. Not sure if this proves a point as such, but it definitely confirms that there's no rule against getting a 10yrs visa after a single six months visa
So we collected the passport today and visa granted (whoop whoop). Not sure if confirms a 'policy/practice' but seems to be consistent with the pattern that if visa granted, you only get passport collection email.

Hi all, I was wondering if others would be willing to share their experience with receiving refusal via email for visit visa if they applied in Pakistan? We applied for my parents in Pakistan and we today received an email from VFS saying our passports are ready for collection. We did not receive ...

Hope everyone is doing well and looking forward to the summer! So I have applied for my parents' visit visa under standard visitor route. They have been to the UK once before on a six months visa. I know this is a risky move but I can't see anything in immigration rules that says you cannot apply ...
Hi mate, Good luck with the application. I am contemplating applying for a 10yrs visa for my parents as well. They have only visited once (and we had to go through PAP for approval!). Wondering if I should apply for 10yrs now or should I build up some 'track record' for them (consensus seems to be ...
From personal experience, they hardly ever check the address on NICOP. On mine (British citizen living in the UK), I have a Pakistan address (and yes, it is a NICOP)! So it is unlikely to be an issue in my experience.
do people applying these days are buying health coverage plus COVID coverage I need someone to help on this Hey, it is not a mandatory requirement as far as I am aware but may not be a bad idea given the current climate. Although I'd recommend checking with the insurance provider that Covid IS ...
Hey You can download the pro forma from the UK gov website for submission of PAP. It can be emailed I believe. As for the filling, it is a case of going through questions on PAP, and then adding mitigation to the reasons for refusal. If you look at posts by other people (including earlier in this ...
As per the experience of few members the word "issued" represent positive decision. But still nothing can be said until collecting the passport because generic templates may reveal something otherwise. Thank you for your reply I will update once I receive my passport back. Hey, keen to know as/when ...
Hi all, I have received the following email on 15.11.2020, can anyone tell me what would be the result for my visit visa application. I have applied from Islamabad Pakistan still waiting for collection text! Dear Customer, Your UK visa application has been issued. PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THE VISA ...
Hi all Just checking again to see if anyone has recently applied from Lahore, Pakistan? We are still awaiting return for one of my parents' passports despite having received the other one over a week ago, and the 'visa application issued' email dated 28 Oct. Its been over two weeks and I am starting ...
we got one of the passports back but not the other, still waiting. Seems like Covid is having impact on passport delivery times & processing at Abu Dhabi office. Understandable as I imagine with most staff working remotely. We did send them the paid email and it got issued the same day (think ...
Has anyone come across a situation where two applicants apply at the same time, and the collection email is received for one but not the other? My parents applied together, and we go the collection email for one of them (but not the other). We did receive the 'visa application issued' email for both ...
Hi @BigMo, Need some confirmations from you regarding PAP. 1- Claimant Details- Did you provide your details? 2- The details of any interested parties- Did you provide your parents details? 3- Did you mention anything about Protective Costs Order (an order that the claimant will not be liable for ...
Okay thank you. We did get the visa issued email this morning - lets see how long it now takes to collect the passports ha; hopefully not another three weeks! @bigmo did u receive ur passport back? I submitted in islamabd office after succesfull pap still waiting for passports. Did they sent u ...
in my parents' case it was just under two months (reconsideration email received on 16 June, asked for additional documents on 12 August). Although that was during Covid so not sure what the timeline would be now.
Hi mate, I can imagine how disappointing this can be (when you want family to visit but they can't because of lack of clarity of visa rules); I went through similar timeline (refused once in 2018, applied again, refused again). As THO suggests, we went for PAP and managed to get the decisions ...
Ah right, it seems it is the Abu Dhabi team that is being the bottleneck in all cases. we would've expected the passports back by now (given it has been over two weeks) but no update yet. Will keep in mind the follow up point. Do you just reply back to their email to follow up or is there a ...
