On Friday 20/10/2017 received call from home office from a private number
First they called our company office and asked receptionist about Director and they were given director's number
Then she called to director for almost 20 minutes
Then after 15 minutes called me on my mobile and asked similar questions

And she called again

Thanks for sharing! In my opinion, this is a good sign since HO is checking all the information. It would have been much worse if they simply rejected the application. As long as you answered all the questions genuinely and correctly, there is nothing to worry about.

Was you application priority or standard?

[spreekhan]

Same here I applied visa for my wife and DAUGHTER
They received my documents on 10 October 2017.
And I get call 18 October

Eco only want to clarifying that your job is geniune

Do you have 2 jobs.

Which country you applied.

[londonukguy]

I applied standard as a application and received call almost after 6 month
It's 100% Genuine job so it's not my worry
I have only one job
I applied from Pakistan
Furthermore,can they call again or just once?

[spreekhan]

Do you show valid accommodation.

It's QUIT strange

They reply you after long time.

[londonukguy]

Yes of course showed valid accommodation
3 bed house
Documents attached
Tenancy agreement from agency
Full Accommodation report
Utility bill
Council tax bill
Land line bill
Mobile phone bill
What do you think,what is relationship between accommodation and late response???

[spreekhan]

Maximum 6 to 10 week they give you visa.
Most of applicant doesn't know the value of accommodation.

Which city you live in uk.

If London than 3 beds means 2000 pounds RENT per month.

If you live out side London than is ok .
Because rent is cheap. Like 500 pounds.

You have to show geniune accommodation.
Like you live alone in house 3 bed .
Do you put single occupancy 25% discount letter from council tax.
How you get house from letting AGENT. Or PRIVATE
Do you show deposit protection letter.
These thing shows that accommodation is geniune

They take six month because they generate inquiries regarding your case.

Because you have one DAUGHTER you need separate accommodation.

Six month is too much time cal them email them they usually charge 1.37 per minute.

And ask why you late they take maximum 12 week.

To show rental agreement and bills is not enough.
They can find through credit search that how many people live in property .
If you live London than to afford 3 beds means you earn 50k.

[londonukguy]

I'm outside of London and my rent is £510/month for whole house
It's genuine let from an egenncy
Yes have 1 person discount
Rent and council tax goes direct from my account
My monthly pay is almost£1605 after tax
Called and email them many times and same answer awaiting decision
There are plenty of people who is waiting even more than 6 months
Anymore expert opinion please

[spreekhan]

Than you have 100 percentage chance to get visa .
Maximum in 3 weeks

Cal them force them that you planned holidays with your wife our out side pakistan and you need passport. Get result fast.

[londonukguy]

After almost one month of job verification call and over 6 months in total I received an email link from home office to pay child IHS fee.
It has been paid straight away
Is it a good sign?
Roughly how long would it take more time for decision?
Any idea and experience.

[spreekhan]

Next week you get visa.
Good luck.
Now nothing left.
100 percent they want your child ihs money.

They will probably call him back another time if they still require more information.

Did you apply with 2 jobs and is your job a well known company?

Post your timeline so we can get an idea.
