Hi Zimba And Experts,

I applied on 28th February for Tier 1 entrepreneur initial application , biometrics done the same day and got below email today, kindly advice, is it normal


Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service), and settlement applications within 60 working days.

Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible.

We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection.

Kind Regards,

UK Decision Making Centre “

Hi Zimba,

Just to emphasis that i’m Not repeating the same questions, the one I posted is the fresh email I received and it’s a third email I received after submitting my application on 28th February

I was a little worried when email said “ your application is not straight forward “

Thank you for continued support

Hey Guys, I applied for Tier 1 Entrepreneur Visa on 1st March, had my interview on 25th March and still haven't heard anything back. Don't really know what is taking them so long after the interview has been conducted.

Hi experts!! So helpful you guys are!!
Hi abuhf...
I also applied for 50k entrepreneur route(not priority) on 28th march 2019.
On 15th april, received standard mail that it could take more time.
Still no answers or interview call from them.
I have a good immigration history.
I think it will take 2 months for them to call me for interview as i see many have applied due to closure of this route.
Applied at Mumbai VFS.
Regards

Hi Zimba and Experts,

I got below email today , kindly advice

We are continuing to work on the application and will make a decision as soon as we are able to. We cannot give a time scale for when a decision will be made. However, I have escalated this to the appropriate Entry Clearance team so that it can be progressed as quickly as possible.

UKVI is keen to continually review and improve its service to our customers. To help us to do so we would be grateful if you could complete our customer contact survey by visiting

If you have any further enquiries, please visit our website at www.GOV.UK

Kind Regards
