Hello Everyone,

I applied for standard visa from Bangalore, India on 18th July (Biometric and Interview). The last mail i received from them was that the application has reached the decision making centre. They havent mailed about any delays. There has been no communication after this. Endless calls and emails have been exchanged and there is no use whatsoever. My course is starting soon. I am frustrated to the extent of having sleepless nights. I am shocked to see applications in July are still pending decision. Thankfully reading all your posts made me feel a lil better that i am not alone in this misery. Any idea/guess when i might get the decision?

Hi everyone
Reading all these comments making me even more nervous. Do people actually wait for 30days for a decision?

Here is my timeline
Visited Tls appointment: 7th Aug 17
Biometric taken : 7th of Aug 17
ECO assigned : 8th of Aug 17

I paid for priority service which usually takes 5days in Nigeria. Today makes it 9th working day. My uni resumes 29th of Aug but the latest enrollment date is the 15th of September.

Should I start feeling worried or inform my uni about the state of my application ?
I am switching from tier1 graduate ent to tier 4

don't worry bro...if its priority visa...they will know your course start date....nd for priority maximum 15 working days.......mostly u will tomoroow....relax....10 working days..enough....max 15.thts it

I havent received the decision has been made email but I called UKVI who told me that a decision has been made and my passport despatched Tuesday. I read somewhere that the visa sticker was made somewhere, is that right? My question is when my documents reach VAC, do they need to prepare the sticker or they can go ahead to post the passport to me?

Guys I recieved my visa today on the 31st working day. Like many of you, I too had no communication from UKVI. Even yesterday, when I called them they said my case was awaiting decision, and escalated it upon my request. I got a message couple of hours later to collect my passport.

Where did you apply from?

[Aamirns]

VAC: KARACHI

My timeline so far:
bio metric: 21 July 2107
Email of receiving application in Sheffield: 26 July 2017.
No further communication. And tracker of visa status is not recognising the GWF, IHS or VAF number.

This is ridiculous.

[backo]

I am in the same situation as most of you. Here is my timeline.

14 July: Biometric Appointment
26 July: Received the e-mail stating my application is received at UK decision center

No other updates ever since. I called the paid service line 5-6 times. Escalated my application. No outcome. Today is the 30th working day. My planned arrival to the UK was two weeks ago and I had to miss my flight. I don't know what to do other than just waiting.

Did you track your application today on tracker.What does it say.

[mestranger]

Wonder which July date processing is going on now. Anyone who applied for a standard visa before July 18 and after July 09th got the decision?

[Bolivar]

Hi guys i applied on 17th of July (Fingerprints and scanning documents) i receive e-mail on 26th of July but after that nothing happen.

I dont know what should i do. I called consulate but it's just wasting money because they're like unprofessional they just spelling my name.

I wrote my University and they told me your couse will start on 22th of September so keep calm bro

[Bolivar]

Also tracker is not working guys i tried all the numbers i have. IHS, GWF, PRN, My valid BRP Card number and another ones....
