Still waiting for a decision.....

[CR001]

Adam as CR001 wrote, is slightly different for self employer. Consult with a lawyer if u really earned what u had to earn and if u really paid tax for it u must be fine. I know that if u have the right documentation to give them while appealing they will overturn the decision. About 2 months it takes for them to notice your appeal and maximum 1 to 3 months to overturn it and it only cost £140. Cheaper than applying again. Go to a lawyer with the refusal papers and all your financial related documents to find out.
Good luck

Hi there thx for your reply
What you saying if i send them sa300 from tax office they will accept that without going to court and i did speak to some solicitors all told me to start a new application but some friends told me they are after your money
Can please pls let me know how to do appeal

I do not know how to send u a private message? Do u know how?

Posted my documents on 27th july and signed for on 30th. Still no email that they have received it.
Any idea how long it usually takes to get that email?

[sevendust12]

Thank you. Same here, my wife keeps asking me for updates and i'm missing them already. I pray all will go well for you and visa will be issued soon. I hope we can hear from them soon.. Waiting is so hard..

I pray that you receive your visa soon as well and continue with your life. I just wanted to ask if you have received your paperwork as I still have not?

Yes, I got all the documents back on June 27th. Funny as they returned everything including photocopies I made for them.. I was in the assumption that a decision would be made soon after they sent it back but I guess not.

Yh it is such a stressfull period being away from loved ones and the system doesn't make it easier to relieve stress. My 12 weeks end on the 1st August 2018 and have fingers crossed seeing as they have already contacted me about my employment a month ago that they would take a decision. I am just dreading that they don't send me the not straightforward email and delay the whole process.

Hey all, just a quick update. I called the hotline and the guy said decision has already been made for my wife and daughter. He said in the system, it shows as last updated yesterday. Does anyone know the turnaround time to collect the passports from VFS?

This is such good news best of luck may you soon be united with your family. I am still waiting and hoping to hear back as today marks 64 BD.

[sabrinagul]

Hi all,

Thought I would update you as I rang the UKVi today..
The visa is on 54 working days, however, I have only received the first email from them on the 15th June to say they had received the documents in Sheffield. Since then i havent heard from anyone, or received my documents back so i was getting a little worried.

The lady i spoke to said it is still awaiting decision but was last updated on the 25th June :/ I dont understand how it hasnt been updated in over a month! Seems like a very long time but then i dont know how long they take to go through all the documents!
I can't escalate ofc because it hasn't been 60 days yet..
Has anyone else applied a while ago and not received documents back???

i did send a prepaid envelope too!

Thank you very much. Fingers crossed that when they pick up the passports, visas will be included. I forgot but is your application for your spouse only or do you have a dependent as well?

Hi sabrina,

Don't worry too much.. we didn't get any updates for awhile also and only just two days before the 60 BD was finished is when the decision was made so dont give up. Give it a few more days and just before 60 BD, try and follow up, you might get an update then. Is your priority or just standard application? As other have pointed out, if it's non priority.. it could take up to 60 BD for any updates so hold on tight and wait. Good luck to you.
