Not sure why again i got this mail ??
Nobody is going to tell you why you got it. It is a pretty standard email. Did you apply with children? Does you sponsor earn >£18600 pa?

Looks like HO is trying to buy some extra time for themselves.

Hi, my husband got refused because they said i didn't provide them x6 payslips which i did they said we recieved x2.
Don't do a fresh application
If this is the only reason they refused u on do a solicitor through there do an appeal it will be a review first and within 28 - 40 days you will get a decision. Because they had over 6000 cases they were careless while looking at our cases we don't deserve this but I spoke my solicitor and he goes 99% they will reconsider and overturn your decision and 1% is court. Do an appeal take my advice you will win 🙏👍🏽
I did my husbands appeal yesterday🙏🙏🙏

Appeal, the review one wouldn't take long. Get the MP involved as it would make no sense that u apply for visa but won't give the evidence. Why wouldn't someone give the payslips; are the home office bloody stupid. You make over £18,600, it's logical that you gave them the payslip and they have either lied or messed up somewhere. This is a no brainer, 100% will get overturned instantly. Get the MP involved tell him to help to put pressure on the home office.

Hi everyone,
I have received another frustrating response from the ho.

Thank you for your enquiry regarding your UK Visa application.

As we have previously advised, the processing of this application has not been straightforward. We are continuing to work on the application and will make a decision as soon as we are able to. We cannot give a time scale for when a decision will be made, however I have escalated this to the appropriate Entry Clearance team so that it can be progressed as quickly as possible.

If you have any further enquiries, please visit our website at www.GOV.UK

Kind Regards

Hi Kumar5689

They are seriously taking the piss.. you have been waiting since Dec 2016!

But then again at least it hasn’t been refused like others. Maybe they need extra time to decide.

Let’s just pray it’s in your favour 🙏🏼

Such a long wait.. you deserve good news.

Hi Raj,
I am so sorry to hear this. After keeping wait for more than 10 months they rejected your aplication. really my heartbreaks. They are rude and cruel. Shame on them.

Don't you have one evidence that you have submitted payslips? Like vfs checklist while submitting the application or any piece of document. Please have a word with lawyer and also MP. Please note as far as I heard APPEAL will not take much longer. In your case I am confident they will consider. again just to prove that you submitted payslips with some small evidence. All the best and god bless you.

On the 27th of Oct I got an email to pay IHS for my dependent because of a bug from website. I paid the same day. Since a decision has been made and IHS paid. How long do i have to wait again to receive my decision and passport?

If I were you I would go back to the solicitor/lawyer that you used to submit the application. If the mistake lies with him/her then the least they can do is either give you a full refund (doubtful) or take steps to rectify it.
If he/she is a real solicitor/lawyer, make an official complaint to them, if your not satisfied with the response, then take it up with the legal ombudsman.

Write to the solicitor/lawyer directly first explaining what has happened. Also include a copy of the rejection letter/email from the HO. Also ask them what they can or are willing to do to rectify the problem.
Wait for their response if your are satisfied, then OK. See if you can come to some sort of agreement. If not only then you can take it further.

If it is a UK solicitor, you need to contact the Law Society.

If the solicitor is abroad, you need to find the regulatory body in whichever country.

That’s truely shocking that they made an error like that. But I’m not surprised by the HO at all.
Well the good thing is they have asked for the ihs payment. I recently read about another case where they asked for the payment and the visa was issued a few days later. So it’s a good sign. Good luck

OMG, a decision and know not a decision, I can't even imagine what you are feeling right know. This is outright atrocious and unfair, all that waiting for nothing only to find out that your application is still processing. I have been through 100 of pages on numerous forums but I have not seen this kind of email as of yet. May God be with you. However it does song that they are about to do it. God knows.
