uk spouse visa on hold :(

[Neosprin]

Did you try it without putting VAF?

Ours says awaiting decision last updated 25th May.

Yes, tried that too and still nothing. Just says "we are not able to recognize this number etc"

Pixel, it doesn't work for me but the email I received the other day mentions that it's awaiting decision updated on 8th June.

All we can do is check VAF n GWF number on the tracker. It's awaiting decision on the tracker for 408691 to 408909.. I did a random check of numbers.

Hi cutiieepiie

Did you applied inside or out side uk
coz its didnt work for me

most people saying its work only when decisions made finally and its only work for inside Uk applications

Hi all,

Was just reading through the forum and came across many people are unable to track their application status using the online tracker. I was also having the same problem after trying GWF number and IHS number as it was saying not recognised. However, I tracked my application using the VAF number, which was sent via email FROM Sheffield when online application had been received by them. It is 6 digits. Hope this helps and works

So you just type the six digit number WITHOUT the VAF? or do you enter it as "VAF_123456"?

Nope, just tried it and still doesn't work for me

What was the update you received?

Hi pixelrage09,

Just the number itself without VAF.

Did you try it without putting VAF?

Ours says awaiting decision last updated 25th May.

Hi Miss UK,

Yeah from inside the UK

Good find Neo! I just checked it and you're right... BTW, my application number is in the 375xxx and been awaiting decision since 10-05-2017 according to UKVI email, but can't see it on the status checker.

What roll number are you on?

So i just got an email saying my" application was received in UKVI in new york and being assembled and prepared for assessment from my package was sent from sheffield to new york. Wife Priority Settlment from USA.


Is this a bit concerning why new york has it now? and sheffield didnt do it the whole time?

Dont worry not all countrys are done in the uk usa and canada are done in there countrys.
Majority of asia and south america are done in the uk due to corroption nothing to worry about infact you may get it quicker then any of us here as there is a huge back log in the uk visa section

[Neosprin]

Hi Trick,
If you have missed a document then ukvi will email you for the same.
Have you applied under category F?

Hi neosprin.
Yes we applied category F .At time when applied I was employed and also self employed

Hi Neosprin.
I apply by combine category A and category F to meet financial requirement. I am employed and also self employed. As my self employment started only from middle of the year I combine both income to meet financial requirements. I read in guidance it is possible to meet this requirement to combine these two categories.
-And I submit my tax return from financial year 2015-2016
-Payslips from self employment
-Payslips from employment
P60
-Bank statements
-letter from employer
- cover letter explaining how met financial requirement and how it was calculated written by my accountant.
Now recently I read about SA302 which I missed as I had no knowledge about it and my accountant didn't mentioned anything too. I submitted enough documents to proof my income but these days it seems they are looking for anything small only find reason to refuse. UKVI haven't contacted me about there is anything missing from application yet and it has been already 4 months since applied. This SA302 it's so easy to request from HRMC but I didn't as I had no clue about it and I'm really worried now. Any advice please. Thank you.

In that case you can send the document mentioning your gwf number to be on the safer side. However, they usually get in touch if a document is missing. A few applicants have been asked to do that. You can mention that you have sent the document in a separate shipment when asked.

[sunshineusa]

Got an email saying my SETTLEMENT was processed in NY instead of sheffield with the WRONG gwf?

I've had a very nice letter (on official Houses of Parliament letterheaded paper) from the MP saying she will contact the account manager at UKVI in Sheffield to find out what is causing the delay and will also try to find out when a decision can be expected.

The MP has mentioned that the HO usually take 21 working days to respond to MPs enquiries but generally respond in 10 working days. The MP will contact me as soon as she gets something back.

In shaa Allah let's see where we get to...

[pixelrage09]

I just checked and you are at 129 days. Home Office say that their time frame for 24 weeks is 120 days and you are 9 days over. You can check it here yourself as well: https://www.timeanddate.com/date/workdays.html

[Mash17101]

I applied in april got to the AWAITING DECISION pretty quick it took 38 days from bio date so all checks were complete so i assumed not that long someones just got to say yes or no that should be quick as everything is done at this stage but know looking at this forum people have been waiting for months at this AWAITING A DECISION mine has only been 13 working days on this stage but i hope some miracle happens.it should not take this long someone on this forum applied in march and was given a decision this month so pets hope we start gettig some good news.

[tarunmsn1981]

Hi Raj & Pixel
Thank you very much indeed for your information.
I was under impression HO recently start delaying settlements visas but I am wrong. Since 2012 onwards many people face this massive delays. Teresa May and govt. screwed up and making

Hope and Pray HO expedite all our applications in a fruitful manner despite delay.
