I escalated the status of my wife's visa application yesterday and today I received this reply:
Dear XXXXXXXXXXX,

Thank you for contacting the UK Visas and Immigration International Enquiry
Service.

With regards to your query for visa process we have escalated your case to
concern department. We received a response which is, " Concluded.
Application will be sent to VAC in due course. The applicant will be
contacted through VAC once the documents are ready for collection.
"
Anyone else received the same wordings when you escalated your application status? What was the outcome of your visa?

According to you guys above, if VAC contacts the applicant direct, it means, they didn't get the visa????????

I Hope In Sha'Allah, I do get an official email from ISLAMVisaInfo@fco.gov.uk as well.
:?
TIMELINE

Spouse Visa (Entry Clearance) granted on 20-02-15
FLR-M (Extension) granted on 24-08-17
ILR (SET-M) not due until 2020

1st part of the question, some users received that update you need to read some pages back!

2nd part of your question, its just a theory. Email system keeps changing so to keep the applicants guessing. This is a very recent change, it has just approximately been a week since they implemented it. So let us wait and see.

Secondly, to earlier poster, 2 email theory was 100% confirmed for past 5 months approx. (though rarely people with 1 email and NO REFERENCE NUMBER will get their visa TOO).
2 Emails used to have different Subject line such as "Application Processed" and then second email would have "Application Concluded" with Ref#12345678). It is just now they have changed their format.

Now email is changed to "Update on your UK Visa application" so it is new thing. please do read the forum in depth before commenting as these things have already been answered in the past.

I have been a silent reader of this forum for the past month. My wife received one processed email on Monday and had her visa issued on Wednesday. Thus the 2 email theory is not necessarily correct. I see hope had the same processed email this week and got the visa as well. This if you only get 1 processed email then this does not necessarily mean a rejection. That’s 2 of us this week that have had one processed email and been issued with our Visa’s.
Thats correct ! Now theory has changed if u receive call from gerrys no emails sent then its a refusal. Recently i heard two cases one from this forum and one i knw from facebook it was islamabad case applied on 1 nov 2014. They both got calls from gerrys no emails and they both got refusal. With one email hope786 and salma recently got their visa. I also got a one email and today call from gerrys for collection. i ll go on monday
Hope it will ll be good news for me and all Waiting one's.
In Sh Allah plz all Pray for me
InshaAllah, it will be a good news.

Hi guys i have noticed my wife's address on her id card is where i live when i go pak, in mirpur, but her tb test certificate states that her address is jhelum where she lives with her parents, as the id card and tb test addresses dont match is that likely to be a problem?

My wife' s freind visa got refused this week, it was her second attempt, applied begning of november from khi only received one processed email and then a call from gerrys.
refusal reason being not meeting financial requirements even though her husband earns £26000 p.a, dont really know the exact cause of refusal.
May Allah swt make it easy for us all

salaam people,
i applied for spouse visa in mirpur 16th jan, got a documents received at BHC email on 19th jan. they did a verification check with my employer 9th feb. so i asked for a update on 16th feb a full month after submission. this is the reply i received:

Thank you for contacting the UK Visas and Immigration International Enquiry
Service.

STATUS:::::: The visa application has not yet been assessed by an Entry
Clearance Officer (ECO), an Officer received your application although no
decision has yet been made.

Kind regards,

Renata

what do i take from this should i wait another 2 weeks and enquire again i dont want to keep enquiring as i feel this wont look very good despite knowing i submitted everything needed. but this wait is killing me if theyve done a verfication check how much longer do you think it will take?????
