Visit Visa UK Embassy Email - Your UK visa application has been issued

[Ravre]

Hi everyone
I got this below sms from vfs today

The processed visa application for GWF ref no. (GWF**********)was received at the UK Visa Application Centre on 7/30/2019. If a courier service was purchased from VFS, your processed visa application will be delivered to the chosen address. If not, the documents can be collected during the designated passport collection times.

My biometric date was 12th July 2019 .Can someone help what does this mean ? I did not get any kind of issued or concluded mail

Guys
I just received successfully my visa
I also got an email with this concluded message.
Dont care about what everyone here is saying here.
I almost believed in what you guy were saying. It doesn’t mean anything.
Maybe it depends from which country you are applying?
Most of you guys are applying from the similar area right?maybe thats the only pattern we can see?


Cheers

If you bothered to read the whole thread properly, you will see it is mainly applications from Abu Dhabi UAE and Riyadh Saudi Arabia!!

[Mike0404]

I read it and the assumption was generalized that „concluded“ means 100% decline, no matter where you from.

Just wanted to state to anyone who google this message and comes to this forum.
Ignore the interpretation and don’t panic except you are from these areas.
UK visa is the most expensive visa otherwise i wouldn’t be so bothered to apply again when rejected due to documents missing etc

I got an email that my Visa application have been issued on the 27th of July (Saturday) but have received no email from vfs gerrys to collect my passport. I'm from Karachi fyi. Should I go ask?

Hey everyone.

Hello all ,

I want just to tell you that my brother received from the consulat the email : your visa application has been concluded with the gwf number on the subject and was really sad yesterday after been on this forum reading all this thing about the word concluded but guess what today he got it inthink it’s not always means refused

[hamzagermany]

Hey everyone,
I got entry clearance 6 months visit. What is the difference between entry clearance and visa ?

Same thing!!

[munique]

Got email with the word "concluded". Visa was approved.

I think it is hard to read through the words in the email. And email doesn't mean anything. Whatever email you receive from the embassy it just means that a decision has been made. You shall know the decision only after you get hands on your passport.

Hi,

My mother and Brother both applied for Visit Visa and today the received "Application Concluded" email and another email was sent an hour later with subject "UK Visa Decisions" including an attachment. The attachment was a UK Visa application Refusal letter in PDF.

They applied in Pakistan but the response came from UK High Commission Abu Dhabi.

Seems like UKVI are sending outcome of Refusal or Approval via emails before you receive your passport. Atleast something is being done to reduce worries and anxiety for applicants.

Good luck everyone.

Hi guys,

I applied for a Standard Visitor Visa (6-months) from Munich, Germany on 06.06.19 and I am still awaiting a decision. Does anyone have experience with such long delays on Standard Visit Visa?

I have previously in the last 3 years been issued the same visa twice (one time being a 2 year one). I do not understand what is the delay and how to proceed? I also need my passport back soon as I am travelling somewhere else at the end of this month.

Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi, when did you apply from Germany and from which center?

Hi, which center was it? One for Europe? And how long after that you got the reply?

Hello Guys,
i applied visit visa in Nigeria on 15th July and received "Concluded" email on 29th July 2019.
after that there is no update on TLS website, they are still saying your application is still with UKVI.

any advise on this matter would be appreciate. i am bit nervous because of this "concluded" trend.

Can members please note that this topic is only for UK Visitor visas and not for spouse/work or student visa advice/comparisons etc.

CR001,

Thank you for pointing that out. I didn’t see the topic even though I highlighted what the topic is in bold - this was acknowledged ?

Could you not allow the OP pick the relevant point from the message I sent previously instead of deleting the comment?

Your moderator approach needs to chill and could do with getting some positive/calm vibes from other moderators.

Dear Bikram6100,

I was pointing out the service by TLS in Nigeria (though I compared this to receiving the same type of service with regards to spouse visa. The main point was the service from them in Nigeria)

The situation is 1, getting an email - sometimes this is not sent (one thing to pick up from my previous message).

2, pick up of passport - just go there and request it if no collection email by tomorrow.

If you know how TLS service in Nigeria operates please do go ahead and advise CR001.

Hey adeelhanif

My fiancee, now wife, applied for 2-year visitor visa in UAE and received the same e-mail. It's now been nearly 22 weeks since she did the biometrics and the Embassy are essentially ignoring us now.

Was there anything that in your opinion would make your case complicated?

[Salmon]

Hello everyone,

I wanted to bring my little contribution, hoping that it will make the waiting time less stressful for the applicants with the word CONCLUDED in their emails.
After taking biometrics on June24th, in Dakar SENEGAL (West Africa) at the visa application center(because we do not have a UK embassy here...)i received on 09/08/19 an email from Visits UK, the exact email as Lobna2019 from Morocco( i insist that Lobna is from Morocco, meaning Africa and also meaning that she applied from TLS, the Visa application center in Africa) which says:
«  Your UK visa application has been concluded by Visits UK etc etc » i insist that the whole email was exactly the same as Lobna’s. Except that i did not receive a second or third mail. It was the only email until i received the phone call this morning from TLS in Dakar SENEGAL telling me that my passport had arrived. When i went to pick it up, there was no letter; it was approved just has Lobna’s relative.
Conclusion:
-the word CONCLUDED does not mean anything.
- Each center( embassies, consulates, application centers all around the world) has their own words, their own vocabulary that they are using in the mails they are sending to applicants. I have heard «  your UK application visa has been ISSUED, CONCLUDED,
A DECISION was MADE, has ARRIVED to TERM ETC ETC ETC ETC......!!!!! We don’t know until our document is received.

[FaheemTanoli]

Hi, I got the below email.I applied for my father, mother and sister for the visit visas and got the below emails for them.In May 2019 all got the concluded email and visas were rejected.I hope after watching the posts here that they have got the visa this time.Can anyone confirm please?

Dear Customer,

PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THE VISA APPLICATION CENTRE BEFORE THEY CONTACT YOU.

You will be contacted by the Visa Application Centre when your documents are ready for collection, or have been dispatched via courier where this is relevant.
