Hi guys,
I got my decision mail yesterday (22nd July) and I appeared for biometrics on 9th July. So, it was on 10th working day in the end.

Congrats Sourabh. Same dates , but I dint get it yet.
Hi. Nothing for me too. My consultant (acting on behalf of new employer) has said they contact home office today. I'll keep you updated
Any update mate ?
No, nothing :((((
Hi! Did you receive any update?
We sent an email to the UKVI, but they haven't answered yet. I tried to call them, but there is only automatical phone reply:' Wait'.

Hi I've also submitted a priority skilled worker application, and it's currently 7th working day now. But on the 5th working day, I received an email saying the delay is because "your application raises exceptionally complex issues and we require further time to consider your case thoroughly and reach a decision". Did anyone receive this same reply?
My immigration consultant is not sharing with me the emails from UKVI. Can not say what kind of emails she received. But i'm still waiting for the decision. Submitted my application on the 5th of July with Priority Service (23 days ago). Did you apply by yourself (without immigration consultant)?
I applied with an immigration consultant with my employer, and they forward that email to me on 25th July. Application submitted on 18th. Is yours a skilled worker visa within the country?

Hi, I submitted mine under priority service, they told me no need to attend an appointment now and should be receiving a decision within 5 days, all the processes were done online, more than 4 weeks now - still waiting... I applied previously for my current job, only took like 3 days, not sure what's happening now...

I applied on 27 May to get my visa updated on account of new job/employer. I used the UK ID check app.

This is 7th week now and I have not heard any update from the UKVI. The joining date with the new employer is 1 Aug, and I am getting a little worried now, as I see many examples here where people have not heard back for over 9/10 weeks now.
Hi did you get a decision? I also used the UK ID check app and was told that I do not need to attend an appointment, now waiting for more than 4 weeks....

I submitted my application on the 5th of July. On the 7th of July they asked for police registration certificate. I added it, and since then they are not replying. I called to UKVI l, they said because i added police registration certificate my application moved from priority service to standard 8 weeks service.

Did you also apply without attending an appointment? (only checking ID from an app right?)
A Police registration certificate? I thought it's not required anymore from 5th of August. They didn't ask me for anything since my submission on the 12th July (I moved to a new address but didn't have time to register with police, then I was tole I do not need to do so anymore...) I escalated my case today, don't know what's going on, they didn't ask me to provide any other documents.

Yes, they asked for police registration certificate on the 7th of July. And now they say, because we asked you for additional information (police registration certificate) - your application moved from priority to standard. After my escalation they replied: 'We can not say when your visa will be approved. Wait'.

Yes, i applied without attending the appointment (thorough the App on my phone).
They asked for police registration certificate on the 7th of July, and from the 5th of August they cancelled police registration 🙄🙄🙄🥴🥴🥴
