Hi,
i will check with my solicitor tomorrow. anyway at least this is a good news. and I applied 30th march, and get not straightforward 23rd june. so think my case similar with urs.

I never got mail that my case is not straight forward but I also got the same mail today

Hi
What is u r timeline when u applied

I applied on 2 June , and this is the first mail i received from UKVI apart from first confirmation mail that states my application received. Nothing apart from that.I did escalation after 60 working days but nothing out of that , so we stopped contacting on phone/mail just to avoid unnecessary waste of money.
Lets wait and find out how many people got this mail today

Staff at the visa application centres or contact centres have no influence on cases and cannot provide any further advice so we recommend you do not attend or call the contact centre. Please do not go to the Visa Application Centre until you have received written confirmation that a decision has been made on your application and that your passport is ready to be collected.

We understand this will be frustrating to you and regret any inconvenience caused.

Applied on 6th Jan 2016, (Ahmedabad, India). Received not straight forward email on 31st March .
Lets hope that this isn't a joke.
TBH this is actually the first time they have given us a time frame. In the past they have always told us "soon" "be patient" "unable to give you the exact date" etc etc..

Sorry to hear that, but u sure 2016? it already one and half year

[brother88]

i got the same email...hope it's real

[givezemra]

Evening all

I got the same email at 6:50pm. Applied for my husband on 24th April in Tirana, Albania. Received not straightforward and on hold email on 17th July. My husband’s case is complicated due to what the Home Office consider to be an ‘abusive immigration history’ so was expecting it to take longer however it’s been 5 months now and it’s still no further forward.

I pray everyone gets the decision their hoping for in Jesus name.

Hi

I too got the same email this evening , I applied 10th may and this is the first glitter of hope we have received
I am hoping it will be good news God willing!!!!

My work place have not been contacted as of yet to confirm my employment so I'm guessing there is still some checks to be completed.

I guess most applicants that applied around April/may are now starting to hear back slowly but surely.

I am due back to work after taking maternity leave so if we get news back in October that would be perfect timing.

Good luck to everyone I hope it will be positive!!!

[jahan786]

[Ace87]
