Applications submitted in Pakistan are processed in Sheffield. The Eid al Fitr isn't a national holiday in the UK and it appears that the UKVI agents in Pakistan,VFS Gobal close for only one day, Monday 26th June.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Thank you. But do they call the university to check whether you are studying there or not because it will remain closed for three days due to Eid.

I imagine that the Case Workers will be well aware of the closure. Three days in the overall scheme of things won't make any significant difference to the processing time. :idea:
