Hello Everyone.
We submitted Biometric for Skilled worker visa alongwith the dependents in the last week of December 2022 at VFS Global (Gerry's) Lahore, Pakistan office; we have received visa status for everyone on 10th January 2023 except one dependent child who is 15 years old.
Tried to contact UKVI and they said visa status is pending, tried again on 18th January 2023 and they said decision has been made and that visa center will contact.
We have not received any email yet ( like we did for everyone else ) and on VFS tracking, the check mark for 'Decision received from UKVI' is still not marked.
I am not sure
- if the decision is stuck at UKVI ( all they tell me is that decision is made and they cannot track any further )
- if the decision is at visa facilitation center (VFS) and some of their system malfunction didnt generate any notification?
Any input / feedback on how to track this application will be appreciated please.
best regards,
Syed

Exercise patience you might have applied same day and done biometrics same day, outcomes and communication about pick up can be on different days or time.

Can you desist from digging up old threads to ask for updates rather ask in your own or under appropriate timelines threads.
