That's good news, only about 26 days after your clearance email. Curious, what was the huge mistake that Casa stopped?

Basically I wrongly thought that bank statements with payslips are an extra item, surely the government would just crosscheck with HMRC to verify that Pay is correct. So I made the online application on March 31st 2019, and used my March pay (paid same date) to meet the income requirement. But because my statements don’t come until the 7th, I wasn’t going to attach a corresponding payslip until Casa corrected me,

Thanks.

Thank you, hopefully :) the reference number is in the content of the email next to gwfxxxxxx. The subject of the email indicating another reference - CRMxxxxxx. Do you know what is this mean?

Well i was doing some research online, as you do when your worried for your application outcome, and i had read somewhere that 1 way of indicating the outcome of your application before collecting passport is if they include another reference number, and mostly a new one you dont have before it means your visa is granted. as that new ref number is your visa ref number until you collect your brp card, so im guessing 1 way for the staff to track your visa... something along these lines.

But yes i would like to say when i got my first email regarding my husbands passport collection i was unaware of this but when i look back at the email it was true for us. Our email only had our GWF00XXXXXXX number, didnt also seem so formal or like an offical email with the layout and the way the subject was put and indeed my husbands visa was refused the first time round.

But from what you are saying i thinking your visa ja granted and if so, many congratulations and good luck ☺

@FatimahHussainSami - perhaps so. but the reference of CRM: xxx is no way quoted in my visa or the immigration letter.
@rezuan88 - looking at the timelines, your should be granted anytime from now. good luck and pray for you.

We are thankful to the everyone who contributed to the forum. And thanks to Casa001 who helped us to avoid double payment to IHS - upon payment of IHS, we entered the PR's expiry date according to what is reflected in the sponsor's BRP card. the computation of the IHS payment was doubled as compare to what we should have paid. Casa001 advised us to key in the expiry date within 2 years from the date of our application and in order to do that, we had to abandon our original online application and resubmit a new one.

Here are some tips we hope can help those in the process of application:-
a) VFS scanning service in Malaysia - my husband left his document (mixed of original and digital)(except for his passport and BRP card) with me in Malaysia, we submitted the document via VFS scanning service in Kuala Lumpur. for his passport and BRP card, we only submitted a photocopy (we did some extra by getting them certified true copy by a lawyer in Malaysia).

b) the answer by UKVI helpline is not absolute - we called them on 26/6/2019 and the answer given was negative but in fact, our visa was already approved on 25/6/2019.

Hi. I have emailed Home office and said we should get reply to the email in 72 hours. Today those 72 hours were over and we phoned them. I told my solicitor to phone on my behalf as i was working. We phoned them 2 times and no one picked our call! First at 2pm we waited 20 mins and we was just placed in a queue then we tried again at 4pm and again the same. Now i am going to try my luck on Monday. I am honestly also stressed out even though my case has not been as long as your one but we paid for priority still they don't give it any value. I hope you get a good answer InshaAllah! Did you email the home office before and did they reply to your email?
