I submitted my application on April the 4th in Bangkok and was told the same message.
I haven't received any email from them so far.
Just wait and pray...can't really do anything about it really.

Have you received any update ntango17?
We still haven't heard anything back yet however I have called UKVI and they have escalated the case for us. But still in limbo as there is no clear indication on status of file. Have the returned your passport or have u received any other email from Sheffield???

Anyways my situation is me and my wife got married March last year applied for her visa in December this year and she submitted the documents on the 16th December.. Today my wife received this email today

Following a Supreme Court judgment on Wednesday 22 February 2017, the Home Office has paused decision-making on some settlement applications – in particular, those failing to meet the minimum income threshold for British Citizens and other settled persons sponsoring visa applications, or where children are involved.

The reason for this pause is to enable the Home Office to consider the implications of the judgement. All other applications will continue to be processed and decided as normal.

As a result UKVI is currently unable to process your application and your documents are being returned whilst this pause is in place. If you submitted a passport with your application, this will be returned to you under separate cover through the Visa Application Centre where you applied.

As soon as we are able to conclude the application we will contact you on the email address you provided within your application.



Yours sincerely
UK Visas and Immigration

Has anybody ever come across this does this mean the visa was rejected

Have they returned your passport back??

I did contact ukvi and did ask for the state for my visa it's been 12 weeks now ! i did apply as spouse visa priority ! and look now what answer i got from them .

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

We understand that you would like to know about the current status of your
visa application. I have tracked the status (GWf0000000 and date of birth dd/mm/19xx) and found that there are no current updates. This could be
because your application was submitted recently or the details that you
have provided above are incorrect.

If it is the former you may contact us at a later stage once our records
have been updated. We will be happy to give you the current status of your
application. If the information provided is incorrect then please provide

I think you should involve your local MP explaining the whole situation. Its not really a humanity, the way they treat people.

I've applied for spouse visa on 30th Dec. Haven't received any update yet!

Is there anyone who is waiting for similar amount of time? :?:

This is really frustrating as we cannot track the application nor we get any reliable response when we call the number given on UKVI site. :roll:

I have applied on 5th jan still waiting with no update whatsoever. Even passport is not returned. Calling UKVI is just wasting money as they have no answers on current situation with the application only they escalated the case but home office still haven't given an update on the application! :roll: :cry:

No there has been no update but I have busted my solicitor since and he phoned some place in Sheffield and was told a lot of visa have been put on hold as the elections but it has been over 6 months now so will be sending another email, do t think they will tell me anything but it's worth a try, Im shocked to see how many people are in the same situation this is just unjustified

Please don't post nonsense. Some visa applications are on hold following the court case and judgement on the income level. Nothing to do with the elections. Not all migrants can vote either. There is no set change to the income level at this stage.
