My timeline: applied on 31st august 2017 along with bio metric on the same day
14 sep not straightforward mail. I followed up at least 3 times after 15 days each. Earlier this month after reading on this forum i contacted Solvit; solvit responded immediately. Last tuesday Solvit sent me an email stating that they have escalated my case to UK Solvit. I am certain that Solvit has intervened and hence the response to our application. I will update you all on the outcome. But for now all the best to all who are waiting. I am sure you will have your families before christmas. I received this email from UK Visa and Immigration - south and south east asia region is this something new?
Hi CON, congratulations and I hope you'll get your visa stamped on your passport. I've received the same mail today so excited :lol: and nervous too. I wish everyone on this forum who are waiting for their visa will get it soon.

Best Regards
Hi Friends,

Yay!! we received our FP Stamped!!!

All the best to everyone else. Dont worry stay put..

Thanks,
Gemma
Congratulations CON, have a great time with your family in the UK. And all the best for your future applications there. And
YAY!! WE'VE GOT THE VISA TOO. :) :wink: JUST open the envelope and found FP stamp. So happy :D
Everyone on the forum who are waiting don't be worry you'll get the good news soon.

That's insane. Seems like they're just taking a piss out of the applicants.

You have any idea how long you'll have to wait after this? Did you know anyone who's been in this situation and when they received the next email?
Thank you!
