Hello To those who have got their permit, have you tried tracking the application on this link? If yes then when does it start tracking with vfs number? https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/app/visa_application/checkvisastatus I have been checking with vfs reference number and it’s not recognisin...
Hi guys, My Taiwanese wife's EEA family permit was approved yesterday. To recap, we applied in Madrid on 1 August and escalated twice, got MP to help us (he wrote to UKVI but apparently never got a response) and complained to the Home Office. Not sure if any one or more of those made a difference. ...

Just wandering around on various forums. Became my daily routine ;) This one notably [LINK REMOVED] , re the avalanche of decisions. The "Oct 31st" email was sent primarily to those who had biometrics before July. Hi everyone, My wife applied in Kiev on the 14th of August. I have escalated applicat...
Hi Merzit, It's depressing to read your news because we also applied from Madrid on 1 August. It's now been nearly 45 working days so it's dreadful to think we have another 45 days to go just to reach the point you're at. Hello Willy Yes.. sadly I am thinking I need wait all 120 working days... It ...

I believe my application was processed within the States. As instructed, I sent all documents and my application to a United States address, and it was return-posted from that same office. I was not told to send any documents to the UK at any point. Best of luck to everyone, I feel very lucky and w...
Seriously ? Can you believe those new" timelines ? https://www.immigrationboards.com/eea-route-applications/eea-fp-approved-in-1-day-t240306.html Do you think are now processing it locally to offload the work of Sheffield ? That is quite unbelievable. While I'm happy for them, the whole thing is ma...

Congratz, guys! I'm on another forum where most of us have been waiting at least 30 working days, in some cases up to 120 days and still counting for an EEA family permit. Somebody just saw your posts and it's absolutely unbelievable. Did you get a response from the Sheffield visa processing centre ...
Guys, check these out: https://www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/jobs.cgi?jcode=1557121 Looks like the Sheffield folks are seriously in trouble without reinforcements (UKVI looking to recruit 25 fresh Entry Clearance Officers) Good sleuthing skills, Nufchavq!! This kind of explains everything...
It seems that over the past couple of days there was an avalanche of emails with the following content, from the UKVI: "Dear Sir/Madam, Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Due to it being our busiest period, I am afraid we are unable to make a decision on your application within our usual timesca...
GUYS,!!!!!!!!!! Can someone explain to me what it ESCALATED? Everyone did it and and I don't really know what is it. Is like complaining or what? Ana Hi there, Escalating is where you call or e-mail their useless call centre (normally to complain about how long your visa is taking!) and when the ti...
Hi people, I've applied for EEA FAMILY PERMIT on 8th of June from Belgrade, Serbia. It's has been passed 76 working days since then. Processing waiting time for this country is still 15 working days, they didn't change it. * On 26th of June I received an email that my application is not straightfor...
Hello All! Did anybody contact an immigration lawyer? Maybe they would know what to do? It's just unbelievable hot ling it takes.. Hi Alanakudz, I did but was very unhappy with the lawyer who dealt with my case. She made no mention of long processing times for EEA family permits but simply asked me...
I understand this but it would still be helpful to know if those that are waiting 100+ days if they are from cities which had higher processing times in May. I applied in a city which outlined 100% were processed in 30 days in May 2017. If others who have applied in cities with shorter processing t...
Hello all I am tired of escalating and complaining to MP and SOLVIT. I had reply from SOLVIT and it was from Germany SOLVIT as my wife is German. They have agreed to raise our case to the UK SOLVIT team and they will deal with it. I don't think they can do much in regards to speeding up the process...
Where they regularly updating processing times on their website prior to brexit? They havent updated guide times since may 2017. Is this intentional as they are delaying or was this always the case? The latest info is also for May (Madrid) and I've just noticed that while before the maximum wait wa...
Hi Dear, First of all very thanks for your reply i really appreciate it. last i spoke 2 days ago and they escalate my application and suggest me to wait they said we cant say anything we cant do anything if we receive anything from higher authority form visa office/home office we will inform you.

We "re-escalated" today, it being working day 16 since we first escalated, that being working 16 days after the original application. I guess we'll have to "re-re-escalate" in 15 days' time and so on... While their call centre is pretty useless all things said and really haven't got anything meaning...
Hello, Friends before thinking of Escalation, please check the processing time for your country and place from where you applied. If your working days are coming close to the mentioned processing time then you can call/ email to escalate (your wait period should be more than the mentioned processin...
Some updates from my side: August 28th was my last day for the first escalation so I called again and I was allowed to escalate it for a second time. They told me since it was my second time escalating it, the manager will refer it to the UK decision team with utmost priority. I am hopeful that we ...
