Hello,
I’ve applied from Albania on 16th August and still waiting.
I had my application “complete” on Visa4uk.com and I just checked it now is “in active” in red.
Does anyone knows what it means ?

Thank you!
ME to its in active
!! For how long it was complete ?
This doesn't mean anything ! Mine has changed a while back and I had the same questions, but no, it's nothing.

Till 1 week ago

Hello members of the forum,
Its been a while,that I have been following the forum,I though I would just update the application status.
Applied EEA permit on 11th August,from Mumbai,India.
Received email not straightforward application,
3 escalation,paid calls made.
The last call made on Monday 11th December,did not receive any email or call from home office or VFS,without any notification,today courier guy turned up to deliver the passport with Visa on it.
So I guess,some times they just don't send email or text to update the status.
Good luck to all the members waiting for their turns.
Best Regards,
Maq

Well, to the people who has been receiving the infamous "not straightforward email", do not get worried, because I have received the same email 5 times already. You have no idea how many times I emailed and called them to escalate! I was hoping to reunite with my family before xmas, BUT HO will not make that happen, why would they?

From my horrible experience, despite escalating/complaining, I guess this is all about stroke of good luck.


GOOD LUCK TO ALL FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
