Still waiting for a decision.....

[tee4141]

hello People:

I agree with you no point wasting time and money on chasing. I applied for my spouse and daughter I ticked all the boxes and meet eligibility criteria but still I have been waiting for 22 weeks and no decision. I have not seen my daughter enough and she is 10 months old. I just want them to make a decision either its refusal or acceptance. they keep giving generic response if no response after 24 weeks I will withdraw application.

Don't give up
I hope they will give you decision before 120 working days timescale. That's their rule for not straightforward cases. Anyhow are doing two jobs? And also did you get call from HO?

Sydvir:
yes I am doing two jobs mate . but had no calls or any contact from
HO.been doing both jobs for nearly two years now.

My case also similar to you. But we got a call from HO last month. And when we called the call center for status check they told us to wait until 120 working days . We will definitely get an answer before that.

Hi All

I have submitted my application on 02-June-2017 at Pune , India for dependent visa. I got mail saying my documents reiceved at Sheffield Centre after 3 weeks. It was clearly mentioned to complete application in 60 working days as stated below

Please note that UKVI aims to complete all Visit Visa applications within 15 working days and all Settlement Visa applications within 12 weeks of the application date. If it is not possible to complete your application within this timeframe a member of our team will contact you to explain why.

Now even after 60 working days , I did not hear anything on my application. We dropped a mail through their paid service and follow up but never got a reply on the same
After making a call on same paid helpline what they told is UKVI is busy and no information apart from that though it was promised that they will explain the reason that what the reason for delay
I already left my job and after going through forums found out that people are waiting from past 10 months
Can any one suggest or help me out so that I can be with my husband asap. I just lost faith that i am getting a visa

Thanks

Not a good idea to leave your job, you have to meet the thresh hold of 18600£. Abha 60 days are nothing my friend. I have been waiting for 5 months. You will definitely get some sort of reply within 6 months than you should chase them up. If you have left your job I think you are in trouble #, if HO wants to make enquries in your job place.....

Recently, my status changed on Visa portal from Application Completed to In Active. What does this mean, does it mean my application is approaching ending stages ?

[M2sam]

my 6 months will complete on 21th sept hope to get a reply soon but am worried

Hi Rijab also my 6 months in approaching on late september. How are you counting the days? Is it from when Biometrics took place or .....?

How can I make changes to my application?
You can make changes to any incomplete application from the 'View My Applications' page within 120 days from the date the application was first created. After 120 days the application will become inactive and you will need to complete a new application.

It is not related to visa processing stages.

I don't need to change anything on my application. It say in active with a space, so I assume they are consdering my application. But it is true that after you have this change in status you are unable to amend your application unfortunately. All the options are all grey.

I applied for my wife's settlement visa in Bangkok on 24th Feb 2017. Had 'not straight forward' email, but nothing else. (We only got this email after chasing them)

On 15th August, after 6months, they have emailed us saying the decision has been made! (Which is a good thing after waiting) BUT they will email us about collection of he documents within 10 working days! - (we only got this email after chasing them)

It's been more than 10working days now, they haven't emailed us, we can't track it, when we called, they can only escalate. Which is BS.

Does anyone else have this issues with them? Please help!

Don't waste money on calling them. I read in this forum , someone who had the same problem
He contacted his mp to solve this problem. So the next week he got his passport back.
Don't wait for so long time bcz the initial visa is valid only for one month.
So I advise you to contact your mp asap.

Hi mozah110
When did u got case not straight forward email?
Did U got a call from HO?

I emailed the helpline, they emailed me back saying it's complex. It was 2nd month as I applied with priority service. (It's been 6months and still don't have the passport) lol...

Ok, yeah I'll get in touch with them next week to chase up. I mean, I feel like it's rejected if they're delaying so much. Even to give the passport back.

Another idea I had was to go to VAC direct and ask them to track or look for it as it's been 10days anyway.

Hi everyone,
I have my story to tell
Application type (FLR(FP); me and two dependents
Application Submitted on :26/10/2016
Postal Application
Acknowledgement Received on I don't know it was received by solicitor
Biometric Letter Received : yes Feb 2017
Biometrics Enrolled on : Feb2017
Additional Documents Requested on (if any): NO
Decision of Application : Awaiting Decision
Date of Decision :------------------- Still awaiting
I have been checking the online status check daily with the SAN awaiting decision.

I have contacted the local MP. I haven't lost hope yet, but it's getting its toll on our lives.
