Today is the 17th working day since submission and 11th since decision made! Its So Frustrating, atleast if we can track or have a deadline date then it would be so peacefull. Every Hour Checking if there is any SMS/Email for Passport Collection. If you do not stay too far from the VAC, why don't y...

Okay. Just a suggestion - try emailing them. It costs GBP 5 but they reply as many times as you want on the same query. Also, though the call costs GBP 1.something, every call goes up to 3 to 4 minutes! Arjun I paid email service and received status that 'application is ready for consideration by E...

Ideally yes. But as days go by, I am not sure how much to rely on them! I have a related question - we get a 30 day travel vignette and have to travel within the 30 days. The 30 days travel vignette starts from the date of stamping or intended date of travel to the UK? If its from the date of stamp...

I believe it should be working days since everything they refer to in working days. I Don't know how to PM here! so going by there word... if your desicon was made on 4th, then max by tomorrow it should be shipped? Right? Ideally yes. But as days go by, I am not sure how much to rely on them! I hav...

I think so + or - 2 or 3 days for courier or sending ti respective VFS I guess!

I think its only the time Sheffield takes to make a decision. Else we would not have so many people here. My guess would be Stamping + Passport despatch dates are not considered.

with a bit more clarity An interesting update guys..... it seems UKVI published April VISA processing time lines, so I am hoping all April applicants are processed now Points Based System Visas PBS Tier 2. Most applications are processed within 15 days. days to process % decided 2 days................

Just a quick update. I applied for the visa on Monday (23rd April) from Mumbai India via the priority service. Received an update on the 24th of April (yesterday) that the electronic application had reached Sheffeld, UK and was being prepared for consideration by an entry clearance officer. Hi Plab...

Finally got Tier 2 ICT dependent visa today... after 1 n half month with soo much frustration, struggle ...

Congrats NanRam. Can you help us with the following -

Date of biometrics
Date when UKVI confirmed decision made
Date of stamping

Yes :) Today while submitting I checked with VFS guys, they said yes lot of people are applying in Apr and May - so there are delays. I know it is causing a lot of trouble as other logistics needs to be arranged, we will be troubled a bit Cant do anything, but waiting patiently True. You applied at...

sometimes, it takes time to reflect the right status in all the systems! I am hopeful ur visa is approved just for the sake of explanation, I saying......even if it is rejected (i hope it is not), CoS status should appear as used, because if it is approve or rejected, CoS is only used once and for ...

Thanks Ashish. That makes sense - rejected and used part. I haven't received the intimation email from UKVI informing decision has been made although they informed me on the call. I have a joining date of June 18 and need to go there early to look for a rental accommodation! It's getting very close ...

Would appreciate if experts can share their views on this matter. Thanks.

When a RCOS is approved, the employer has to assign it to an employee. Then the employee files the VISA application. I have done the same and awaiting my VISA for days now. Although, I know that a decision was made on May 4. I had called UKVI and they informed me the same. On the Sponsor Management ...

Thank you guys for the clarifications.

Hello. I am a tier 2 employer sponsored 3 Yr visa applicant. One has to travel within and 30 day window - that's what the travel vignette according to me is. I have a query here - 30 days starts from the date of stamping on the passport or the travel date mentioned in our application form? My work s...

Both dates are the same. Decision made. If May 19 is your joining at the UK, how do plan to? Today is May 17 already. Do you know if you were granted the VISA? You submitted in VFS MUMBAI OR AHMBAD? I read somewhere on this thread on AHMBAD too I guess... The Joining Date would be taken Care by the...

If possible, try calling UKVI again and tell that according to VFS its still at the embassy. Ask if they are sure if it has been dispatched from the embassy. Let me know what they say. I received an email revert stating it takes around 10 days to dispatch the passport after the review completion da...

All our facts are the same - u and ur wife, April 19, April 26, May 2, May 4... Passport still not received. Still waiting even after phone and email. Just curious on one thing - how do u know when it was despatched? VFS Mumbai had not given me any such info. I am visiting them again today! Yup, th...

Hi Ashish. Thank you for the message. I have visited 3 times already. It's very annoying. My joining date is nearing and I don't even know if my application has been approved or rejected! I can understand your situation, if it is priority application - atleast you would know the decision I guess, w...
