Hi everyone my husband recieved this message today The processed visa application for GWF reference number - GWF********* was received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 10/23/2017
If a courier service was purchased from VFS Global, your processed application will be delivered to the chosen address.

If not, your documents can be collected during the designated passport collection times.

Does this mean my husband can go to collect his passport?

Guys happy weekend. Congratulation to all that have received visa.
Just holding on to God. It's 26 days since a decision was made and I still have not gotten my passport or have an idea if our settlement was approved. Nobody to hold accountable. I called HO to escalate again.
Has anybody experienced it? What if munch vignette expires, how long do I have to wait to get a new sticker. I really do not want a new sticker. This is hard truly.
Supernkky,have you heard any news to collect your passport ?

Update to my application:

Applied: January 2017
From: New Delhi (CP)

Called UKVI on Monday 9th Oct and was told decision had been made on Friday 6th Oct and wife would receive SMS or email to collect passport within 10 working days.

10 working days had passed (today) and I called UKVI and they told me application changed back to 'Awaiting Decision' on Monday 16th Oct.

We are now back to square one.

We received Oct 31st email so am hoping we get a decision before then.

Has anyone else been in the same situation where an application was decided and gone back to awaiting decision?

Really appreciate any help.

Thank you!

Applied 24th April standard. Still waiting. Praying that we will all receive a decision this week. I’ve been separated from my husband for 18 months now. I’ve been blessed that I have managed to see him 8 times in that time but it’s not enough. I want him here with me. Tomorrow is exactly six months since we applied. The wait is excruciating.

Amirahb sighs* This people will not give me high blood pressure. Earlier today about 5hours ago I called the operator service and the told me yes, my application is still decided and that its been process for despatch and I should be able to hear something before friday or friday.
The about 10mins ago, I returned the call just to reconfirm what was told and they told that they have escalated my case on the 11th when my husband called, which was the same day we found out decision was made since the 25th of sept. The operator goes on to tell me that today is only 8 working days and I have to wait 15 to 20 working days for home office to get back to as to whereabout of my passport, I almost went crazy. After waiting for 3 months plus for priority decision, I got decision and have to wait 2months to know my decision wed will be one month a decision was made. Nah they are over doing this and this totally insensitive.

I don't know what is going on either !! I just called the British high commission and I asked them about my passport and that a decision was made a a few weeks ago and she said that they still have my passport that it never left Trinidad it was at the high commission the whole time ! Does that mean my application was refused ?? She said that also she does not know what the decision is just that they notified her that they made a decision, she said that she is going to call London and find out what the Decision is and will let me know by tom when o can pick up my passport !! Does all this mean I am refused ???

Sorry dear, I don't understand why your passport was still in TT. They no longer process the visa in TT but NY or Jamaica.
I couldn't take it, I went in today to ask for my passport, at first they did not give me an audience till I provided all the evidence from my email exchange with VFS and the email HO sent saying they made a decision since 25th and already sent to VAC. They were forced to give me attention and found the flogged email from VFS so they said they will track my passport and call me this week. I asked what will happen if I was approved and my vignette expires since today is 28 days since a decision was made. She said they will handle that. Praying for good news this week.

Good luck 2moro. Please let us know the outcome. I'm not able.
