Wife Settlement Visa in Sylhet

[bg1971]

Dear all,
My wife submitted her visa package in Sylhet VFS VAC yesterday.
But, i cant find any link where status/progress of the visa application can be tracked ? What will be the ref no ? Is it GWF no ?
If anyone can help ?

Here is some info which may of help for others:
I have submitted online application on : 14 May 2015
Appointment Booked at VFS Sylhet: 27 May 2015
- NHS fee and Visa application can ONLY be paid at the VFS centre, not possible via online or any other bank.
- The amount taken by the VFS was more than what mentioned on appointment letter.
- NHS fee was 75,000 taka (£600)
- Application fee was = 119500.00 Taka ( £956) exchange rate 120 taka
- User pay service fee = 7375.00 Taka (£69)
Please note, original exchange rate on that day was £1= 120 taka BUT VFS charged @ 125 taka/pound

Many thanks

Hi
I would like to know the answer of this question below for Spouse visa -

How long do you intend to stay in the UK?
Is it - 33 months ? or
As per partner visa validity ?

Thanks for help

They will send to you an email telling you how long it will be before you can expect a reply from them. There is no online tracking. However you can email them on the email address they will provide if you want updates, but generally they will write that the application has not be assessed by an ECO if you send emails before the time they have given.

Hi Adnan,
Thank you so much for your reply. I emailed them last week asking if there is any update re: Notification/Acknowledgment of my application. They have sent a standard reply, .... not assessed by an ECO.
I am just waiting with patience at this time.
Its holly month of Ramadan will start tomorrow. May Allah bless us all and fulfill our all intentions.

Employment start date wrong:
Salam and Ramadan Mubarak To everyone.
I have just received my employment and tax records from HMRC today. It shows start date of my 2nd job is not correct.
In my contract, employment letters the start date is 18th July 2014.
HMRC Record shows: 14 July 2014.
There may be a mistake made by my employer's accountant ? All other details are fine (totals pay, tax etc).
My greatest concern is once Home office will find these discrepancy, is the will be a good reason for refusal !!
Please advice, shall I contact HMRC for amend my records ? Or leave as it is ?
There are may helpful people out there.. Please please.. let me know what to do.

Many thanks
Rahman

@Rahman, I'm really sorry to hear tht bro! I'm also anxious abt my case, they escalate it two weeks ago, but yet no update, 37 working days passed! I have a feeling tht those application got rejected, took longer than approved one. So my one might be on its way to fail. Only God could saved me, plz pray

Thanks for your reply,
I have received another email on 8/8/2015 from BHC New Delhi as below:
It has been noticed that with your application you have submitted the IHS fee. Because your application has been refused, the Health Surcharge payment made in relation to this specific application will now be refunded. To enable us to refund please provide us with :
Haven't received any 'Processed' email or call from our local VFS to collect paperworks etc. I sent an email to inquiry on 5th Aug, they have said that application has been processed.
I pray for both of you, may Allah bless with yours case...
Regards,
Rahman
