Can members posting in this thread PLEASE stick to the rules, it really is not a difficult request. This is NOT a questions or discussion topic.

I am not sure why questions such as 'any updates on your case' keep being posted, as the below is quite clear!!!

A reminder to ALL who contribute on this thread, please take note.

To all members who contribute to this topic/thread, the following are the guidance to adhere to so that we do not end up with a timeline thread that runs into 1274 pages as the other one did and has become a discussion thread, rather than an easily readable timeline thread :

1. This topic is for timelines and timeline updates ONLY.

2. ANY discussions, chit chat, question such as 'Any news for applications from Lahore...' ect, will be deleted and the user issued with a warning.

3. Most members who contribute to this thread will already have other recent queries or threads on the forum, i.e. 'Spouse Visa - Please Advise' etc. If you need to ask a member something specific about their application, click on their name, search for their most recent NON timeline post and ask the question there. You are of course free to use the PM function for this too if you choose.

4. There will be zero tolerance of any abuse of the timeline thread.

5. No posting of personal contact details, please see Forum Terms & Conditions (click), particularly point 5.

I have emailed UKVI using the online query form to check the status of the application:

We understand that you would like to know about the current status of your
visa application. I have tracked the status ****** and date of birth
***** and found it is yet to be assessed by an Entry Clearance
Officer (ECO). Your visa application centre or the entry clearance officer
(ECO) will contact you once a decision has been made or, if necessary,
during the consideration of your application.
