Visit Visa UK Embassy Email - Your UK visa application has been issued

[faisal16]

Congratulations faisal

May i ask how much income and saving you have showed. I am applying for my mother and sister to come over and a bit unsure about the process.

For accommodation, I have a 2-bedroom flat. Will including the tenancy agreement be sufficient or do you have to include the survey report as well to say the flat will be uncrowded

Hi,

I applied visit visa for my parents in April 2021 and then Pakistan was placed in red list, today i received email for my mother with 'issued' status but still waiting for father. can anyone please guided that if travelling together the applications are processed together as well.

kind Regards
Faisal

Hi Imad,

I showed saving of £6000-£7000 in bank account but also included a detailed supporting letter stating all their activities e.g cities & places they are going to visit and then breakdown the cost (roughly around £1200 per person for 3 weeks visit excluding hotel because they will be staying at my flat) that i am going to spend for their visit e.g travel ticket, food, local travel and health insurance.

For accommodation i included latest tenancy agreement and council tax (i also have 2 bedroom flat).

But the most important point to cover is to show their ties back to home e.g FRC, job letter, pay slips, property, saving in account.

i hope this will help.

Kind Regards
Faisal

Hi, I received this email a few days ago. I went to collect my passport and it is empty. Could it be a mistake?
If it was a refusal i was going to get a letter didn't I?
I know for a fact that for every application, whether it is a refusal or approval we still get a letter.
In my case the passport came on its own. No decision letter even though i received this positive email from Abu dhabi. PLease advise


Dear Customer,

Your UK visa application has been issued.

PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THE VISA APPLICATION CENTRE BEFORE THEY CONTACT YOU.

You will be contacted by the Visa Application Centre when your documents are ready for collection, or have been dispatched via courier where this is relevant.

You are reminded that you should avoid making travel plans until you have collected your passport, as the outcome of your visa application is not final until you receive your passport.

Please ensure you check the details on your visa when collecting your passport. If you need to contact us you can do so via our International Enquiry Service at www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-outside-uk

Kind regards,

We used the paid e-mail service (something like £2.5) last week and got the below response:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Thank you for contacting UK Visas and Immigration International Contact Centre. Please be advised that applications are still under process, checks have not been finished. Whilst we aim to process each visa application within a targeted period, we cannot guarantee that a visa application will be complete within this time. The unique circumstances of each individual case may result in longer decision times. This is because visa applications are assessed individually and individual circumstances can mean processing times may vary.

I have also contacted UKVI (Embassy in Doha) via the paid service.

Hi Shahdab,

Yeah, I received an email on Sunday stating that, "Your UK visa application has been issued". Now I am waiting for the documents to be delivered.

I applied a day before your appointment. But I also contacted them on 30th to escalate the application as it had gone beyond the standard processing time.

You can contact them via UK phone number or email them using contact form on their website. Both of these services are paid service.

Hi Zack, May I ask you a few questions please. trying to asses the factors that might impact the duration:

What's your nationality?
Did you apply for a long term visa in Dubai or Abu Dhabi? If so, how many years?

Many thanks!

I have received email for my spouse application yesterday Morning saying " Your UK visa application has been concluded". I am scared because as per this forum this is a visa rejection email.
I didn't receive any response for my application yet. I applied for our couple to visit London on our anniversary.

Congrats! The long wait finally paid off, you can now make arrangements for their travel.

Biometric on 13th Sept, Still waiting for a response, UKVI paid email escalation is just a buying more time excuse. My brother applied for a 3 month leave and its approved on 1st Oct so 2 weeks already gone!
Bit annoying as there is no response from UKVI or VFS, but no other option but to wait.

[calavera99]

Update:

My wife had submitted her biometrics on September 14th in Dubai, and her application was forwarded to the UK Embassy on the 15th.

After 35 calendar days, today we received the "issued email". Tomorrow is a public holiday in Dubai, so I believe we might need to wait a little while longer to receive her password back via the courier service.
