Tier 4 post biometric timeframe

Post by mjaan » Fri Aug 04, 2017 2:02 pm

Ok guys I need some help here,
I submitted my online application on 7/07/17, biometric on 11/07/17 at Islamabad VAC and recieved email of
Acknowledgement on 15/07/17, since thn havnt heard anything back. I was expecting a 2nd interview but I havnt heard back anything at all . I contacted international inquiry service and they said status says under consideration.
What should I expect e.g and is there a timeframe for this process?

Kindly share if you have experienced anything similar :shock:

Hi,
So my application timeline is as follows:
Online submission: 12th july
Biometrics: 14th july
Email acknowledgement from vo: 21st july

I havent heard from VO so far till date and khi pakistan processing time 15 working days exhausted from date of online app submission. So i emailed my uni on 15th working day.. n my uni responded saying 15 working days start from day of biometric amd i will have a confirmation from VO by 4th aug/7th aug.
Whats bothering me is that when i check on the online link with gwf no it does not recognize my application.

I had a vist visa fr UK refusal 2 yrs back.. and a CAS issued by same uni last year for which i didnt apply due to death in family. This year i applied on new CAS.

What is causing the delay.
Thanks.

University of Portsmouth bro , I'm ex- Reading university student
I think this super long delay is not a good sign ,
If they were to issue is a visa they would have done it by now

Bro why would they refuse any of us. We haven't breach any condition or broken any law. We haven't given them any reason to refuse bro.

Could the members posting in this topic, and one other, kindly post appropriately and drop the 'bro' with every post made, it isn't 'cool'. This is not a private whatsapp chat group.

Nothing yet mate.15 working days would be on wednesday . Don't know if escalations really works or not.read on forums in some post that nothing happens in escalation but that was spouse escalations.Never heard bout tier 4 escalations before.
