Hello @christine200025,

I attended on 09Mar2019 at Croydon UKVCAS and did not pay anything at the centre.
Though the fees I paid was £3018.20 + £100 for the Biomentric appointment.
Application date: 08Mar2019
Appointment date:09Mar2019

Did you get any emails confirmation on submission?

Also I was told by the agent at the centre that we can check the status using UAN# at Gov.UK website..Which I'm not sure how?

Hello all,

This forum is absolute treasure for UK Visa and Immigration queries. I thought I would like to share my experience.

Application type : SET (0) - Main applicant.
Previous Visa: Tier-2 General
Submitted online application on 28/02/2019
Appointment type : Super Priority - Sopra services at Coventry Central library
Fees paid : 3018.20 £ + 100 £ for Sopra services.
Appointment Date : 08/03/2019 ( Friday 12:00 pm)

Arrived 10mins before appointment time. Already attached the supporting documents to the online UKVCAS portal. No photocopies required, however your appointment letter to be printed and kept in handy. the barcode on the appointment letter is important to enable the UKVCAS officer to start your case.

1.Checked my latest passport and BRP card.
2. Asked me to do the biometrics in the cabin
3. Digital photo was taken whilst Bio metric.
4. No additional fees paid.
5. Officer went through the check list and confirmed again with me that all the documents are original and attached correctly to the login page.
6. She also confirmed that I will receive my decision in email within 24hrs as I have selected Super Priority service.

I waited saturday and sunday, no email or letter regarding the application.

On Monday 11/03/2019 - I received email saying my application is successful and BRP will be delivered in due course.

My expectation was to receive decision by Saturday itself - as we paid 610£ extra. Bit disappointed on that bit. But other than this, I am happy with the new services.

Hi guys,

Reading the posts on this thread has really helped as I'm anxiously waiting for the outcome of my Tier 2 (General) Visa application (Extension of Tier 2 from inside the UK). Thanks all for sharing your experiences and it really seems to be so inconsistent!

Application made: 13/02
Appointment at Croydon: 16/02

Lady who processed my documents in Croydon said that I should expect a decision on Monday/Tuesday (18th or 19th). Haven't received anything to date.

Tried ringing the UKVI call centre and once I was put through to someone and she asked 'How can I help' - then hung up as I was talking! Bit ridiculous!
Hi Sear,

No, unfortunately no decision yet...anxiously waiting and hoping it'll arrive early this week.

Attended Set (O) application for my family of 3, Super Priority Service at Croydon (as no appointment was available for weeks at the Chelmsford center 5 minutes away from my home) on March 1st (Friday), had scanned everything and submitted and document check came back asking me to move my passport scans to Proof of Application section on 27th February. I did so.

While at the centre - I was asked to choose desk biometrics, who were very nice and calm and asked to take pictures and biometrics, along with signature. said everything was fine. I asked if they would check my documents, and they said since I had used the service nothing was needed - unless I thought I'd forgotten something. left in 20 minutes, wait was just half an hour. we head back home.

Next day at around 11:30 (time of my appointment) I get this email.
Dear --------------
Thank you for your recent Super Priority ILR application.
Unfortunately we need further information before we can make a decision on your application. We need the following information in order to move forward with the application:
1. Your most payslip. This must be dated no earlier than one calendar month before the date of the application,

Please reply by return email should you wish to email a response.

Your application will be placed on hold for 5 working days awaiting a reply at which point a decision will be made with the information we currently hold.

Regards

My working days: Tues, Wed, Thurs
I realized I had forgotten to upload this (hate myself for that) and I immediately replied to the email as well as uploaded February and January payslips to the UKVCAS portal. I got generic auto responses, but it's Tuesday (3 days) now and I'm yet to hear back. I'm shocked that the document check service didn't catch this neither did the staff at Surinder Singh route. I was very anxious, but after seeing the others plight I'm a bit better, could anybody advice me on the next steps for this? how long should I wait before I make the next move? who can I call or email?

Thanks!

Timeline update:

1st March - Appointment
2nd March - Request for additional pay-slip
7th March - Email confirmation
8th March - Letter
11th March - new BRP arrived

Looks like I've to cut up the old BRP and mail it back to them right away, or there will be a £1000 fine.

Will I be eligible for a refund for the delay in service?

Submitted my super-priority Set (O) application on 1/03/2019 as my first tier 2 visa was issued on 27/03/2014. I attended a biometric appointment at Cardiff UKVCAS center on 11/03/2019 at 9:00 am. I was hoping to receive a decision within 24 hours, but this morning at 8:30 received an email that my application has raised exceptionally complex issues and would require further time to thoroughly consider my case ......

I thought my case was straight forward as I have spent my all 5 years with the same sponsor on a PhD level job.

After replying to the email that please let me know if you need any document, etc.
the case worker replied that there is nothing to worry about as they have to check something with another department but can't tell how long it will take.....

On my hand, it is assuring that they said there is nothing to worry about but on the other hand, it is mentioned that they need to check something with another department, so don't know which department and what they are checking.

Anyone else with a similar experience?

For what it's worth, I got a similar email at the 24hr mark, saying it 'wasn't possible' and something about raising 'exceptionally complex issues' (though nothing about what that was or whether they were checking things etc); I too replied with an offer of contact/asking whether they needed anything further and also got the response that they didn't and couldn't give me a timeframe. This was all the first week of Feb (biometrics 5 Feb, Birmingham). I've still not heard anything back, and any escalation attempts/queries have not helped, have just been told they can't say when it'll be decided and generic emails saying 'as soon as possible'. They are supposed to give my MP a response about her inquiry (12 or 13 Feb) today or tomorrow - I will let you know if it's worked. Personally, I'm hoping 'exceptionally complex' is just an excuse for being too busy. All the best to you, try not to stress (easier said than done, I know) and do consider asking your MP to query it.

Thanks speckycanuck for sharing your experience. This is not a good news if they are delaying this for that long. Sure, I will wait until the end of this week and will then write to my MP.

Hello Prasath,
Thanks for sharing. Just a quick question- the ILR Application only asked for 1 month salary slip and bank statement. so why did you submit 6 month. Is it something that I should have done too.

Given Biometrics on 9th March
recd. the strange email:

Thank you for your application for permission to stay in the UK.
Although we would normally decide your application within 24 hours from the date it was submitted, unfortunately this is not going to be possible in your case.
This is because your application raises exceptionally complex issues and we require further time to consider your case thoroughly and reach a decision.
Please be assured that we are doing all we can to make a decision on your case as quickly as possible.


Not sure what they mean.

any help from other member is appreciated.

Regards,
Tilt

I have just called to initiate the refund process. The lady I spoke to mentioned that it needs to be via email. The email she gave me was srsukvacs@homeoffice.gov.uk

I have sent an e-mail to the above address and got an automated e-mail. Let's see how long does the HO take to get the refund process rolling.

Hi Denseflies,


Are you still around??

Hello everyone!

I’ve been reading this thread since I started my visa application and would like to share my experience with all of you.

Tier 5 visa expiry: 20/12/18
Spouse visa application: 10/12/18
Appointment at Croydon: first day available only on 02/01/2019.
Biometrics on 02/01/19
Email to confirm my visa has been granted: 07/01/19
Super Priority service.

Well, I must say that uploading the files on Sopra Steria website was a struggle, as I had too many files (combined incomes) and also, I paid this extra service offered, document checking. The promise is to check if all mandatory documents are clear, uploaded and in the right category. I Labeled all of them with categories and numbers. Like: “finance: bank statements 1” so I wouldn’t lose myself and would be easy to identify in case I didn’t upload any. I received an email from the document checking service saying “no action required” as everything seemed fine. But as a good anxious person, I went there again and voilà: three files missing. I thought that maybe I was tired from the night before uploading many things, so I uploaded again. That happened MANY times before my appointment, with different files, and different times during the days. Once I got the the appointment, I told the lady there that this situation was happening and she asked me which documents were missing on the day before, so she scanned them again (although they were there already) once back home, just out of curiosity I checked again and three other different files were missing. I made a formal complaint on Sopra Steria website and ALSO uploaded a note for the caseworker, explaining briefly what was happening, along the email from the document checking. Then I decided not to look at it anymore and I must say that this week was really difficult for me. Received an email from the caseworker today at 9:31 saying that my visa has been granted.

I also would like to mention that all my anxiety had some reasons: I made a mistake on the application and wrote a letter saying that I made that mistake, and also mentioned on the cover letter; combined incomes in my case are also a struggle because I was a volunteer worker. As a volunteer worker, I had to live in the accommodation provided by the organisation till the end of my visa (even married). My visa expiry date And so many other small details were making me crazy.

If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer based on my experience. This forum was really helpful!

Keep the faith guys, keep your prayers that your result will come soon!

Hi All,

I am waiting for a response since 15th of December (Tier 2 to ILR). My lawyer just received another generic e-mail from the HO again regarding refund if they can't deliver in 24 hours. The same email I received 2 times before.

I can see that on Sopra Steria account I still have access all my uploads and can upload new ones. Maybe it is been answered before but does it mean that your application has not been look at yet if you still have an access?

Also, I am worried as I didn't upload the documents myself and everything was uploaded during my appointmnet. I can see that Sponsors/Employment section and Educational section are empty is it supposed to be like that when you apply for ILR via Tier 2. I provided the letter from my company regarding the my absence and my need for the role for a foreseeable future and also UK degree and not sure which sections they went under when being uploaded. Any advice would be highly appreciated.
@Eagle123, You don't have to worry about that because on 7th of Jan 2019 when my documents were being uploaded the lady told me that the most important thing was passport which needed to be in Mandatory Doc Section and it didn't matter if optional documents were upload in different places. So from my experience you need not worry.

And another thing I find funny is that even thought I uploaded all my document for some reason the case worker couldn't find my "Absence date and my MSc Degree" to support my English Requirement. However, my lawyer did email them back and this happened on the same day I applied for my Biometric
Hi All
Congrats to those who succeeded
Could anyone please share the sample letter to contact MP would be very appreciated.
Thanks

Hi there, I complained using the complaints email amongst various other methods including social media, they got back to me on Monday after receiving the complaints email last week. They apologised for the delay and said my app would be looked at as a priority and they would refund the super priority fee. I checked the right to work website yesterday and it seems to imply I have been granted ILR but I haven’t received any letter or email. I would recommend emailing the complaints email as the escalations didn’t seem to do much. All the best.

Hi, everyone

Thanks for this useful website, so I’m here to share my experience as well.

Type of application: SET(M), ILR Spouse Visa (5-Year Route), Super Priority
Online application submission date: 26/02/2019
Documents uploaded online: 02/03/2019
Biometrics appointment date and location: 12/03/2019, 12:00, Manchester
Confirmation E-mail: 13/03/2019, 10:41
(E-mail mentioned my application has now been granted and I will receive my decision letter & BRP, also required me to cut my previous BRP in half and return it back to the HO)

I think I’m quite lucky to get the result in 24hrs. According to lots of the others’ experiences, I even got myself ready to wait for 5 days. So it’s kinda surprised for me to receive the e-mail this morning. Ha~ glad that they really made it in time then. Just guessing maybe it’s because my appointment was 2 weeks after the date when I submitted my application online (there was only available free appointment after 2 weeks time when I tried to book it), and they had enough time to go through my application. Anyway, obviously I’m happy n feel relieved now. All the best to all of you and wish everyone big big luck!!!

Hello, I have been emailing the complaints email since the 27/02/2019 and the call logs are ridiculous they know who I am the minute they pick up. called again this afternoon and it has been escalated for the 3rd time. also told there is an email that was sent to me on the 09/03/2019 which I never received. been told to wait another 5 working days. seems that's all I do now, wait 5 days since I enrolled my biometrics. needless to say it has been hell. I have now given up hope and pulled out of my cousins wedding, just ridiculous all the way through.

Hi all,

Quick question to anyone whom recently attended a biometric appointment at the Croydon UKCVAS centre. Did you have to pay the usual 19.20pounds fee for the biometric enrolment?

I attended my appointment yesterday, however no one asked me to make payment so am wondering whether this is normal.

Responses will be greatly appreciated.

Application made: 5/3/19
Appointment attended: 9/3/19

Thanks @sprakash81 for your response. I realised later on that the 3018.20 paid upon application submission included the 19.20 fee.

I also received my BRP letter today, so wanted to share with everyone my timelines:

Type of application: SET(O), Super Priority
Online application submission date: 05/03/2019
Documents uploaded online: 06/03/2019
Biometrics appointment date and location: 09/03/2019, 9am, Croydon
Confirmation E-mail: 12/03/2019 noonish
BRP and letter received: 13/03/2019

After receiving the email on 9/3/19 I was able to see online that my permission to work in the UK had already been switched to no restrictions (check here: https://www.gov.uk/prove-right-to-work)

Hi Guys

I have been reading this blog for while and Please see below my experience for PBS dependant ILR(Tier 1) -super priority service .
Application submitted online : 03/03/2019
Biometric Enrolment : 12/03/2019-- 11.20Am Submitted . Croydon
Decision : waiting

my application is straightforward. was expecting a decision in 24hrs time as most of the members seems to get decision of late.

is there any way to check the status of the application? Has anybody applied at the same time and got the decision?

Thanks in advance

Hi !!

I am in a similar situation, applied for Set 0 ( Tier 2 ILR,1 + dependant) and attended biometric appointment on thursday 28th Feb 2019 @ 12:00.

Recieved email on friday 1st March at 11.51,

Thank you for your applications ,we are now considering your application. Although we would normally decide your application within 24 hours days from the date it was submitted, unfortunately this is not going to be possible in your case. This is because your application raises exceptionally complex issues and we require further time to consider your case thoroughly and reach a decision. We will write to you once a decision has been made on your case.  Many thanks for your patience in this matter.


As far as I know, all the documents were in place and is a straight forward case.

Apart from my initial tier 2 application in 2013 was rejected due to respresentative negligence but was approved later upon providing the correct document.

This delay is so frustrating and is affecting my health due to stress. Having checked Right to Work status has not changed and is due to expire on 15th March.

Fingers crossed. I guess, patience is the key here.

Guys, please update your timelines

Thank you
Hi Mitsu
Have you received your ILR decision.
Thanks

Thanks norty109.

Looks like tier2 ilr’S are getting the same day decision. If you don’t mind how long it took for you to receive the decision and did you escalate?

Hi All,

Applied for ILR (T2 General, 5 years route ) from Cardiff.

Timeline -
Biometrics appointment - 4th Feb 2019 (Super Priority Service)
5th Feb- Letter received by agent -
Although we would normally decide your super priority application within 24 hrs from date it was submitted, unfortunately this is not going to be possible in your case.
This is because we are waiting for a response from another government department or agency to verify some of the information or documents you have given to us.

Decision email - Awaiting
BRP card - Awaiting

Has anyone received a letter like this? Anything to worry??
Has anyone applied from Cardiff and got the decision? Its been 2 weeks now and apart from above letter no communication from HO.
My application is straight forward as I have been with same employer no other issues as well.

Any comments ?? or I should just wait patiently?

Thanks
Raj
Hi Raj,
Any news? I have applied at Cardiff UKVCAS center and got a similar email on the next day. Would appreciate if you could please update.
