UK visa application delay experiences

[princeyumair]

but did you tried yourself to track your visa application or if you can do me a favor, Go to https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/ ... visastatus and puT GWFXXXXXXX and let me know if your tracking working coz mine is not working so far had a biomatric on 21st July, no email after that

Bros I've received my decision just now. Minutes later the email to collect. I've collected my passport already with the visa approved! I will continue assisting and sharing my advise with the other folks here, this was a very stressful journey but made much easier thanks to some of the very helpful members here. If you need any help I'll be here!

what date did you apply? did you apply regular or priority? how long have you been waiting? and what did you do?

[aerobalag]

Guys don't call UKVI and don't waste ur money , ask your university whether ur cas is used or not
my cas was used 3 days back and I got a mail from my university that ur application has been decided 5th September......but I didn't receive any email from either ukvi OR vfs

how long have you been waiting????

Hey guys,

I have been reading this thread during last week and am also in a similar situation.
My course starts on 18th September and below is my timeline:

11th August: Online Application
18th August: Biometrics taken in Madrid, Spain with Priority Visa Service
21th August: E-mail informing that my Application had arrived to UKVI and ready for consideration by an ECO.
3rd September: Called UKVI about application status, they said it was still under process and that I had to wait for the 15 working days.
Today I got an e-mail from my Uni, stating that my application has been passed on for review by an ECO, and that I should get an answer soon. (Hopefully the decision can be made this week)

I recommend contacting your uni because they can have more direct information.
Hope all goes well and good luck to everyone during these stressful moments!

Hello guys,
Here is my tier 4 visa timeline, hope its help.
12 July : Online application
14 July : Biometric and interview
22 July : Got an email from home office that my online application has been received at the UK Decision Making Centre. Your application is currently being prepared for consideration by an Entry Clearance Officer.
After that I didn't get any email from the home office. So, I tried to contact my university international office for my visa status today because the course start date of mine is 18th September. Luckily, they replied to me in within 5 hours that my visa was issued today. Hope, I'll get an email from the home office tonight

Ahh my fellow Lankan. Looks like we're the least appealing people to UKVI

[princeyumair]

I am waiting too, filled online application on 17th july haven't heard anything after that, contacted Uni to ask if there is any update, waiting for reply.

[christinar1087]

Hi

Just spoke to my uni and they said that my application is still in assigned status so I really don't know

[Mugatiya26]

I was told the same by my uni as well. People who applied around the same time as us are finally getting decisions. So we can still hope i guess..

[christinar1087]

Hi mugatiya

I think wait is what we can do right now.really frustrated but just staying calm is the best way to handle this situation

You are already on -thin ice- and had your PM function disabled on 17th August for trying to post/ask members for personal/contact information on the forum. Have the rules not sunk in yet?? If you feel this forum's T&Cs don't apply to you, then perhaps you need to find another forum to join.
