Thank you for contacting UK Visas and Immigration International Contact Centre.

We cannot discuss the outcome of your application on-line or by telephone.

However the visa application centre will be in contact with you in regards to collection or delivery of your passport.

We strongly recommend that you do not buy a non-refundable, non-flexible ticket to the UK, until your visa application has been approved and you have received your documents.

You can go collect after the VAC notify you of readiness for pick up, this should not be long from now since mail said decision made.

Hello guys. This is the timeline for my husbands application:

04/10 - Online Application (PRIORITY)
07/10 - Biometrics done in Tirana
10/10 - Supporting documents sent to TLS scanning hub
14/11 - Case is not straight forward email.

It is currently 28 working days. Just wondering how long it can take now that email has been sent and when I should escalate.

Thanks.

Yep it's a long waiting game and it sucks coz you just don't know what's going to happen at the end. Just have to be patient and hope for the best. Nope have not received any calls, I can see people recieve on like the 58th working day though so can literally happen at any time.

Yeah, I haven't bothered chasing up, mainly because we'd get a standard response and it costs, so pointless.

I got an initial email 4 weeks in.
I got a call 4 weeks in (same week) about my work/financial requirement.
My present employer got a call on the same day
My ex employee got a call the next day

Apart from that nothing.

Yeah I've seen some people get a response for passport collection after 9/10/11/12 weeks
