Email from UKVI-application still under consideration after a month of biometrics

Hello everyone,

Could members of the forum give your input on my query please ?

I applied ILR - 5yr T1 Entrp visa - 50 k route in 1st week of July, received an email today from home office

We are emailing you to confirm that your recent Home Office application is still under consideration and we expect to make a decision within 6 months of the date of your application, which is our service standard. If we are unable to process your application within 6 months we will tell you as soon as possible.

Our web page contains further information about our service standards and other information that you may find helpful with regard to your application.

If there is a change in your circumstances, please contact us using this link: https://www.gov.uk/change-circumstances-visa-brp


Is this something normal ? My T1 ext took more than 6 months last time without any complex letter (had an interview after 3 months of applying though). I had no communication from the team other than interview invitation letter during that time.

Thanks in advance for sharing your experience and inputs, sorry for asking again if this was something addressed in this forum before. could not find any posts related to this.

Hello there.
This e-mail is normal and everyone got this e-mail. Infact you will receive e-mail every month regarding your application.

I applied in June and received three e-mails so far like others.

Hope it helps.

Regards

It just a way for home office to remind you that they still have your passports and travel documents so don't make any travel plans :lol:
