My biometric for my Tier 4 student visa was on 20th December 2021. I sent them a paid enquiry email on 5/01/2022 to ask about my visa status, the reply is below.
I have 2 previous refusals due to UKVI not being able to contact my financial institution (bank) to verify my bank statement. It was not my fault, but this time I made precautions and chose another bank. I am very worried and stressed at to what this email means. Does it mean refusal?
The UKVI enquiry email reply:
"Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration*. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service), and settlement applications within 60 working days.*
Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible.
We will write to you again if there is any change to this. Please do not attend the Visa Application Centre until you have been advised that your application has been decided and that your passport is ready for collection."
