Hi any update for your family passports? All the Best....

visa refussed all thing is they ssaying i am director of this company but i am aploy of this company so i am to admin review plz if u know or any one know the prosiess of this or appeal prosess

@Naz Khan,

Sorry to hear about what happen to your family applications.

I think its better if you will listen to CR001, of starting a new thread and the topic to cater your concern.

I wanted to share my experienced with the same exact reason of being refused the first time.

hi i am going to reaply and plz can u tell me what doc u add to prorf u r employ not sself emploied

Hi
As your application is refused I would suggest you to seek an professional legal advice.

Also as you should create a new topic here and share your refusal letter. You mentioned HO refused because they believe you are the director of the company not an employer. Refusal letters 2/3 pages, you can remove your personal details from the letter or just copy and paste the quotes, that will help other users as well.

Hi all,

My wife and I are approaching 12 weeks of waiting time for her spouse visa and just received this email.

How should we read this and is there anything we can do to find out more information about a revised timeline, what information they need, etc?

The wording of the email is concerning, does it mean we did something wrong in our application?

Thanks,

Chris

It is a standard email, many applicants across various visa categories get this letter. Means your application will simply take a bit longer than usual. Nothing you need to do or send.

Because our application for a second time we receive the same email

[imran321]

I received an email from home office last week asking me to send them a prepaid envelope to have my docs sent back to me (I did provide them with that but just resent it again to avoid any issues) and I sent them the prepaid envelope yesterday and checked at home and it has been delivered (hopefully all docs have been received, will check once I get home!) but I haven’t heard from them about my spouse visa! I did priority service and it’s been over 30 working days! If they’ve sent the docs should I be expecting to hear from them soon about the decision?!? I’ve escalated the case on working day 31 and was told I’ll hear back in 15 working days!

Hi Imran,

Good question as I was going to ask the same thing. I randomly tracked my pre-paid envelope and saw that they sent the documents back to me today. I wonder if the processing has concluded and do we expect to get a result soon? Good luck with your application.

Hi Esi esi

You have been waiting for far too long I have seen other people submitting second application and receiving decisions in three months.

What was your first refusal for?

Because it may depend on that

[imran321]

Yeah.. because a few people who had their biometric done on a similar day to us, have had their visa’s so thinking why haven’t I heard anything? How many working days has it been for you & was yours priority too?
