Re: Delay in Tier2 General(Restricted) visa issuance
Post by QBF001 » Thu May 03, 2018 2:12 pm
Hello everyone,
I am posting my experience for every one's benefit.
I applied for Tier 2 visa Shortage occupation 5 years for myself and my 05 year old daughter. My wife is already in the UK and has joined her job there on the 01/04/2018.
My work start date is 01/05/2018. My visa saga is as below
Premium lounge,Priority visa, walk in appointment
Date of online submission of visa 21/04/2018
Date of Biometrics and visa submission 23/04/2018
Date on visa approval letter 25/04/2018
Called VFS on the 01/05/2018...informed that the passports have not been dispatched yet.
Called UKVI helpline on 02/05/2018...informed that a decision has been made on my visa but not on my daughters visa.
Received my passport but not my daughters on the 03/05/2018.
No emails or SMS intimation from VFS till now.
Called UKVI again today 03/05/2018 ...my daughters visa application is still pending. I was advised to request escalation of my daughters visa application by 14th of May if I have not got it till then.
Emailed UKVI over the next few days explaining as politely and professionally as possible my predicament of being the sole care giver and non receipt of my daughters visa and passport.
Was informed yesterday that decision was taken on the 08/05/2018..
Got my daughters passport..with Visa today....again no email or sms intimation from VFS.
My tip to everyone is to be polite and explain your rationale clearly to the UKVI by email or telephone if you are contacting them.
Best of luck to every one...I do wish everyone gets their visa.
Bye
Hello, How did you escalate?NanRam wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 12:25 pmHi ,
Is any one here esculated your case with UKVI regarding passport dispatch ? In case of esculation after how many days they will process our case.
Mine and my son visa already been processed but didn't get our passports yet.. we esculated yesterday but no reply ..
Hello. When you say you 'escalated', what exactly did you do? Did you email or call on the paid line or something else?
We called on paid lineroyarjun2005 wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 12:46 pmHello. When you say you 'escalated', what exactly did you do? Did you email or call on the paid line or something else?
Okay. Just a suggestion - try emailing them. It costs GBP 5 but they reply as many times as you want on the same query. Also, though the call costs GBP 1.something, every call goes up to 3 to 4 minutes!NanRam wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 1:11 pmWe called on paid lineroyarjun2005 wrote: ↑Thu May 10, 2018 12:46 pmHello.

Something similar is my case. I received a similar revert from UKVI on my query and that visa application center will get in touch with me.Plabber_123 wrote: ↑Mon Apr 30, 2018 4:41 pmNo, I used the paid service to contact UKVI.

Hi Anil,aniluktier2 wrote: ↑Sat May 12, 2018 7:59 amHi,
I have applied for my Tier ICT visa along with my wife and 2 kids and given my biometric on 12-Apr at Chennai. My dependents have received the stamped passport on 3-May.
When I contacted UKVI for the status of my visa, they told for my case the decision has been made around 30-Apr but have not received my passport yet. They asked me wait till 14-May and then my case can be escalated. Its already crossed 9 working days and still waiting.
Does anyone with similar experience suggest me what could have been the reason and what should I do next.
I was told that my and my dependents application was processed on May 4. However, no email or SMS from VFS till date!aniluktier2 wrote: ↑Sat May 12, 2018 10:04 amYes I received for my dependents. Vfs sent msg to me on 2nd May and I collected passport at my office address. Vfs told me my passport is still with embassy. Im worried as it crossed 9 working days and no updates.
Hi Plabber. Did you get your VISA? My biometrics were on April 26, recd 6th Sheffield email on May 2, had called UKVI and they said application status is complete. No word since. Standard application.Plabber_123 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 25, 2018 8:51 amJust a quick update. I applied for the visa on Monday (23rd April) from Mumbai India via the priority service. Received an update on the 24th of April (yesterday) that the electronic application had reached Sheffeld, UK and was being prepared for consideration by an entry clearance officer.
i guess plabber didnt cleared mentioned, however I presume he collected his passport (VISA stamped) from VFS directly, after he received news that decision is made!royarjun2005 wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 4:42 amHi Plabber.

Hi Ashish. Thank you for the message. I have visited 3 times already. It's very annoying. My joining date is nearing and I don't even know if my application has been approved or rejected!ashishkm wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 6:26 ami guess plabber didnt cleared mentioned, however I presume he collected his passport (VISA stamped) from VFS directly, after he received news that decision is made!royarjun2005 wrote: ↑Wed May 16, 2018 4:42 amHi Plabber.

If you too got the message and not opted courier - it is worth trying in VFS
Good luck arjun!
