Urgent Access UK and Supporting Documents

[Kimn]

Hi!

We haven’t heard anything yet, no. I haven’t had a call neither has my employer. No news is good news, right?

I’ve seen another member on here that paid for priority had their decision on Friday. They had their biometrics 5 working days before my partners! I’m hoping we hear something by the end of the week...

I haven’t had a call yet either. Judging by someone else’s timeline they were asked for additional docs about 4 weeks and 2 days after bios so I think that’s when they start looking at it.

Did you ask for any status updates? I’m trying to refrain so as to not aggravate them when making the decision lol.

I think you should hear back by the end of the week - fingers crossed for some good news!

Ours moved to ‘being considered’ between 3-4 weeks so I think you’re about right.

Yes, I dropped them 2/3 emails just to see what’s happening... but I get a little impatient haha.

I’m hoping! My partner has finished working his notice in his job (Shanghai) and moves west, back home, this weekend! Crossing everything.

Hope you have a decision through soon too! I’ll post an update on the timeline thread!

So, I sent an enquiry through at 15:00 and had a response by 17:00... we have a decision, 27 working days after submission.

Just have to wait for the passport to be couriered back to my partner!

Did you submit an enquiry?

Hi, that’s good to hear. No I haven’t submitted an enquiry yet. Tomorrow will be 5 weeks since bios. What date was the decision made on your application?

I'm not sure but between 24/7 and 31/7. Interestingly, the Embassy in Beijing contacted my partner today to confirm his travel dates. On the application he put his intended date of travel as 1/8/19. They asked if he had booked this date or if he could amend it. They gave no further information...

However, this could still mean it's gone either way!

Hopefully that is a good sign that they’ve asked him to amend the travel date. Did they say how long it would take to deliver?

I did enquire about the status of our application - it is still awaiting decision getting worried I would have thought they would have made a decision going by other timelines

Hi good luck to you both. Hopefully you both have good news tomorrow. Just a quick question regarding the emails. How many do they send. I have only received the one saying they have received application and it's currently being prepared for consideration by entry clearance officer. Thanks for the help!

Thank you Fizzy good luck to you too. I have only received the ECO email too, but you can enquire about the status of application over the phone or by email for a cost. Otherwise once the decision is made you will only hear from VFS to say the passport is ready to collect - not sure how it works if it’s being couriered.

How did your wife get on with keeping her passport?

Hi thanks for replying. That's perfect but mine is standard as she had to keep passport so they still have time. Does the days start from submission or biometrics? I had asked her to photocopy the passport beforehand and they just charged a fee at vfs centre and handed passport back. Thanks for all the help. Keep us updated with when you receive the good news.

No, no indication and the woman from the British Embassy was quite evasive. I can understand why, they themselves have no bearing on the application decision so wouldn’t want to start a conversation around it!

It could be a matter of days away, I am sure you will hear soon!
