Dear saifman.can u plz tell me about sms .did they sent seperate sms to both of your application or one??

[SaifMan]

Yes Miyash
It says;
'' The processed visa application for GWF ref no. (GWF.........) WAS received at the UK visa application center on 05/27/2019. Documents can be collected during the designated passport collection times''

My wife received two sms.

[Mightyrio]

I emailed UKIV yesterday, and they replied with the following “With regards to your enquiry about the status of your application, I can confirm that we have made a decision on your application. We cannot discuss the outcome of your application on-line or by telephone. However the visa application centre will be in contact with you in regards to collection or delivery of your passport.
We strongly recommend that you do not buy a non-refundable, non-flexible ticket to the UK, until your visa application has been approved and you have received your documents.”

Any idea how long before your passport arrives?

[SaifMan]

Upon contacting them I had the same reply. So far it look positive mate, Inshallah you will get it.

[Spouse2019]

Hi All
Has anyone got application processed decision not made? I have contacted UKVI and they just say the application has been processed - decision not made. Had no contact at all since biometrics.
36 working days on priority .. hate the waiting game. I have escalated the case and have been told I have to wait 15 days for response. I wish we didn’t bother with priority

So frustrating!! I really hope we both hear soon. Seeing how long yours has been I am losing hope that it will be longer. Have they contacted you or your employer?

[asadkashmir456]

This wait is really killing me off even though I knew it was gonna take as long as it takes. 8 weeks since bios, 41WDs!!

Anyone applied in January 2019 and still waiting a decision. It’s been 86 working days for me and I’m still waiting. They asked for additional document on 14th May and I submitted on 16th May but still waiting haven’t heard anything since then. Now it’s long bank holiday weekend

Hello,

There are 5 other people who submitted their application in January 2019 are still waiting for a decision (or maybe they just haven't updated their timelines). See the following:

Ukhtii (120 days)
Y123m (120 days)
hardeep5086 (121 days)
Dsithu (126 days)
Sumit_sam (133 days)

There are 14 poeple who submitted their applications online (Non-Priority) in the month of January 2019 have got their visas. See the following:

Sumit_chopra (53 days)
Abbas16 (71 days)
Ayoubakkaoui (72 days)
ssd04 (74 days)
Saima nisar (81 days)
Jdhussain7 (82 days)
Remm (83 days)
Shakshi (93 days)
saif123 (99 days)
Boss82 (105 days)
Moorthy (105 days)
Rockinglove (112 days)
Nsafi (118 days)
Worried_sick (123 days)


But Bsis, your's at 142 days since online submission is the longest ongoing case. Have you raised this with your local MP? Also if you used the Visa4UK website to submit the application, check whether the status is showing as "Complete" or "Inactive".

However, since you sent them additional documentation on 16th May, give me two weeks at least to process them.

[Jhelumi]

Thank you for your reply. My solicitor in UK submitted my application online.
Could you send me link how can I check the status as you mentioned above.

I haven’t contacted UKVI or my local MP yet. If I don’t get any updates by 90th (31st May)working day since my biometrics then my partner will contact local MP and will ask my solicitor in UK to send email to home office.
Since I submitted my additional document it’s been 2 weeks today (10 working days)

I hope I get any update soon.

I pray for all the people who are waiting for decision will hear something soon
