Still waiting for a decision.....

[ElizaK]

[uj95]

Thank you, yeah I am still gone wait till 7th February 2020 and by then hopefully inshallah will hear something. After that planing to go inshallah. I am skipping my first wedding anniversary which is on 17th January. Hope everyone get good news who is waiting.

Did they leave a message? How do you know it was HO?

It may be worth sending an email expressing your apology that you missed the call due to whatever commitment and suggest availability?

Eliza,

I missed 2 calls from them aswell but then they rang me the next day in the morning so keep your phone on.. think they ring 3 times.

Yes, he left 2 voicemails saying its a call from the home office and he would like to ask me a few questions. The phonecalls were 20mins apart

Oh I will be so careful now! Hearing those voicemails gave me anxiety what do you think would happen if the 3rd time the call gets missed aswell?

I remember reading on this forum someone missed calls from HO and they never rang back again but regardless the Visa was still accepted so dont worry too much about it hun

I have been following everyones posts and was concerned as we had not heard anything. Maybe this might comfort some of you.

Priority application first time for husband. We had a solicitor look over everything before submission.

Online application submitted 3/12/19

Biometrics 17/12/19 at Islamabad
Document scanning 17/12/19 at Bradford
Email and text confirming application 17/12/19

No further emails and no contact from HO for either of us.

Text message 14/01/20 application recieved (which was confusing to say the least...expected passport collection message)
Email 14/01/20 passport collection.
Passport collected 15/01/20. Visa Approved. Alhamdulillah

Total 16/17 working days. Visa was actually issued last week for 30 days. I guess it takes some time to get back to Islamabad

Good luck to all

Update

Received at call from Home office on the Tuesday 14th January. She rang me at 8am / lasted around 8/10 mins
Asking about my job. Just to verify everything. She was really nice. Allhumduillah.

on the same day she rung my office but our manager wasn’t available to speak and the worker that picked up said ‘ yes she does work here, but I’m not the right person to answer your questions’ and gave her manger personal mobile number’

Now we are waiting for the home office to call manager. Inshallah they call him soon so we can get a decision.

Please pray for me!!

Hi,

Does anyone know the Email address and Phone Number where we can get in touch to receive an update on the application?

Based on my own research I found that when you call, the call costs a lot of money.

Has anyone tried getting in touch using email, do they respond in good time?

Thanks

Hey,
I did my biometric on 17.12.19.
I got a phone call from DHL and they will delivery my passport on Sunday.. but I didn’t get any email from TLS/anyone saying “ready to collect”/ “decision made”.
Even in the TLS website the status is still “application received by the DMC” which mean there is no decision yet.

Should I worry?
How I’m spouse to get my passport according to what I said above?

Recieved a call from Home office this morning which lasted 30 mins. I was asked manyy questions

[Noshr67]

I didnt receive any calls that's why fear its rejected as the email we got talks about appeals at bottom of it and the email is very different to normal people's emails

No one can give you an actual reply as to whether granted, calm your nerves and hope you come back shortly to give a positive feedback.
