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.

My wife submitted her biometrics in 6th January in Islamabad, priority service. No text/email yet to say it’s being processed or looked at by ECO, still waiting.

Have u received any communication?

I haven’t yet received anything, hope we get good new inshallah.

[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

Don't worry Inshallah have faith❤

I feel like crying hun.. this is more stressful than not hearing anything.. I'm just so scared

Thanks for letting me know. I've read that the home office took a while to give a decision on your application and I get that your worried because they never phoned you. Check your bank account to see if the IHS fee got refunded, sometimes the IHS fee gets refunded straight after a decision in the case the application is rejected. This is not always true but if you are really worried just have a quick look. If the fee has not been refunded then it will calm your nerves because its likely that you got the visa. Remember the decision was made a few days back, it wasn't made today.

Does anyone know how long it takes for a reply after the phonecall?

I’m waiting too, I’ve actually escalated mine Today as it’s past the 30days of priority timeframe. So let’s see what happens now. Nosh praying for you, all the best! Inshallah you get it

Thank u ever so much ❤❤

Dont know if this is over thinking or not but

Really

1. How come I got my reply when so many are waiting so long
2. Even tho I paid priority and was processed in 10 weeks rather than the standard 6 weeks , it still feels like my replies come so quick without any enquiries and want to know if there would be any link between this and rejection meaning have others on here got replies over people who have been waiting for ages and got rejection?

So sorry guys I know I sound so negative but I'm anxious

I think you’re overthinking and I’m sure tomorrow when I come onto this forum, you’ll have good news

They do say that actually with priority, even if it delayed, it will still be at the beginning of the queue. I think you got the Not straightforward because they couldn’t meet the timeline due to backlog

At least you’re not waiting anymore as I am...
