Hey everyone!

I did a status check today and this is the reply I got : .............and found that a decision on your application has been delayed
whilst further enquiries are being conducted. Your visa application centre
or the entry clearance officer will contact you once a decision has been
made or, if necessary, during the consideration of your application.

I'm kinda worried now. Has anyone else ever received such an update?:/

I did a status check yesterday and received the
The below reply! Has anyone received this reply

My husband did biometrics on the 29th September!
I did a status check in October and they said it was yet to be assesed by an ECO! Am really confused!

and found that there are no current updates. This could be
because your application was submitted recently or the details that you
have provided above are incorrect.

If it is the former you may contact us at a later stage once our records
have been updated. We will be happy to give you the current status of your
application. If the information provided is incorrect then please provide
the 9-digit GWF number and the date of birth of the applicant.

Alternatively, once the process has been completed and a decision has been
made the visa application centre will be in contact as per process.

Though we try our best to complete the visa application process in 15
working days, each application is subject to an individual assessment and
processing times may vary, hence applicants are requested to be patient and
wait for the processing to be completed. You can check how long you'll have
to wait for a decision on your visa application in your country (if you
applied from outside the UK) by entering your details at the following

I see, inshaallah hoping you get good news soon!

I am more annoyed about the priority fee they have taken, and then stating its in a normal que!

It looks like most priority visas have been dealt with within 15 days! The more i read the more stressed i get! Especially seeing how long an appeal takes!

Hi scotsgirl
just read your other post regarding case escalation.
my friend time line is very similar to u and he did call them to escalate the case 2 weeks ago and it is a priority application... he called them yday and they replied him that his case is in process now.
so i think ur case most likely be in process and InshaAllah everyone waiting will get the good results...
i have few weeks go myself before i start getting worrying abt my wife application. i did priority from lahore and 1 week is gone.

all the best

Insha Allah you and everyone waiting will get good news.
however, your received your docs quite late? my friend has the same situation- paid for priority and forgot to send prepaid envelope. but he did send the envelope few days after he sent original docs and did not receive his docs back yet. 10 weeks have already passed for him. I wish you all the best.
it is probably they are doing rigorous checks. some people have received the results within one of the biometric day. it is all on luck.
btw i have received my docs back after 3 days of docs submission and did my 1st status update ad they came back with- it is yet to be assessed by ECO....i am too starting to get a bit anxious but Insha Allah all will be ok :)

Yes that's the first status email I received from them. I just checked my documents and realise I forgot to send priority print out however my wife when visited vfs for biometric provide them with a print out and they mentioned it on passport envelope. Does it effect timings in process.
