UKVCAS Super Priority Service

[Flower1983]

I need help to understand what’s going on, if this email I have received means one way or the other:

30.12: Appointment to scan documents.
30.12 (3hours later): My english certificate could not be accepted because it was from over 2 years ago.
02.01: I have done the test again and passed.
07.01: I received a ref number for my english test approval and forwarded to case handler for my case.
09.01: Received the following email:

Thank you for your Super Priority Application for Indefinite Leave to Remain.

A letter has been issued to you via recorded delivery: *****. Please note your letter may not be traceable for the first 48 hours via the Royal Mail trace and track service.

Please await the receipt of this letter and follow the instructions provided.

Does it mean it got refused?
I am going crazy here not wanting to leave the house waiting for this letter...

Just to update, I've received the automatic refund of the super priority fees from the HO for the delay.

Have you checked whether your right to work website status have changed? my status changed to"You can work in the UK. There is no limit on how long you can stay in the UK." after they made the decision, received the BRP after couple of days. Good Luck!

Right Guys , I applied in Dec Xmas time, Did my Biometric around 3rd of Jan , 2020

I never received any email, on 8th i got my letter than your ILR is approved, on 10th I received Biometric

on 11th Jan , Letter Dated 8th , Stated, because H.O couldn't make decision on my application on time, they are returning my £800 back to my Debit Card.

and Yes on 18th of January(while me writing this ) , My refund is showing back in my Bank.

So, I have my ILR now. Receiving NO- Email doesn't mean you have been refused. My mate also received his ILR in Nov , he never got the email just like me and he lives in Manchester and i live in Leeds.

I had longest 5 days of my life with lots of stress, but i have completely forgotten about it now.

Please keep sharing your experience with others, it helps. Even though I am out of Visa system now because of ILR , but only 2 weeks ago , I was also on a visa with no recourse to Public Funds...

Wish good luck to everyone , Take Care
Next Stop Naturlisation !!

I got email yesterday

“I’m pleased to confirm that your application for leave has now been decided. You will receive your decision letter in due course. Thank you for using our super priority service.”

Kind Regards

What does it mean ? I am really confused. Anyone there can explain me or got same email. And already got letter by post. Please let me know.

[Petula]

, I have question. Used super priority for Tier2, visit Croydon in Monday 13th January, at the afternoon they ask for one more paper, which the company already gave it. But I didn't hear from them. No email, no letter. Tried to call them on Friday 17th, they told me to wait for Monday 20th.... If no letter they will contact HI.

We booked holiday 6 months ago and we should flight on 3rd February. Do you think I will get BPR? I'm really worry... what I can do?? I know it's still 10 working days... Just this waiting making my nerves

Date of application (online Super Priority) : 16/01/2020 SET(O)
Biometrics Appointment: 21/01/2020 8.40 am (Croydon)
Approval letter/email received : 21/01/2020 11.30 am
Waiting for letter and biometric card.

By God's grace received approval mail in less than 3 hours after appointment. I was nervous after reading about the experience of some of the members here. I know how difficult it is to get hold of someone at HO if things don't go right.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your experience.

Did you escalate by email or by call to UKVI? Did you receive a "complex issues letter" after your appointment? I had mine on the next working day after biometrics.

I also emailed MP. Still waiting.

What is a complex letter I didn’t get any complex email I just received an email from my case worker that we can not decide your application in 24 hours it’s going to be possible in your case and we ware waiting for a response from other government departments or agency to verify some information or documents. Should I consider this complex email or this is not complex email ?

May I ask what is an email address you used to get that reply?

I emailed enquiries: public.enquiries@homeoffice.gov.uk, got a call confirming that my application cannot be processed in 24 hours. May there is another useful email?

Thank you again:)

Hello,
Your email is even more detailed since they indicated what exactly caused a delay (waiting a response from other gov bodies).

Mine was:

" Although we would normally decide your application within 24 hours from the date it was submitted, unfortunately this is not going to be possible in your case.

This is because your application raises exceptionally complex issues and we require further time to consider your case thoroughly and reach a decision.

I am sorry for the delay in dealing with your application and for the inconvenience this is causing. Please be assured that we are doing all we can to make a decision on your case as quickly as possible."

[nali78]

Yes because I uploaded court consent order with my application maybe they waiting to confirm consent order from GLD or their legal department.

Hi All,

I’m back on the forum after 5 years! I had a lot of good advice and help then and felt I should let you know of our experience for the ILR SETM application to help you guys. We chose the super priority service for our application. Here’s our timeline:

UKVCAS appointment: 21/01/2020 at 11am in Glasgow - we arrived early (about 10.30am). We were seen straight away. Husbands biometrics done and uploaded documents checked. She only checked the mandatory documents (passport and signed partner declaration). Asked if she needs to check the others and she said no. We had a total of 56 documents uploaded!

Call from UKVI decision maker (from Manchester) at 2.30pm next day 22/01/2020. She said no valid English test attached. We had attached the previous one my husband did for FLR 2.5 years ago. But it was at level A2 life skills so wasn’t accepted. Asked if they would accept original from 5 years ago for first visa application. She said she will send an email and we should attach the old certificate and she will check if it’s ok.

Email from the decision maker at 2.53pm asking for a new certificate at B1 level or the old one. Also in the email, it was mentioned that as they have looked at the application within the said timescales we wouldn’t get a refund of the priority service fee.

Email sent by us at 4.18pm with old English certificate asking if this was ok.

Email received next day 11.40am 23/01/2020 confirming my husband has been granted indefinite leave and his confirmation letter and biometric permit will be sent in post!

I understand everyone’s experience and application types may be different so don’t lose hope and try not to stress. It’s easier said than done as I was stressing the entire time! FYI - I also believe all applications are processed centrally as in they are not looked at where they are submitted. The email we received came from a generic SETM mailbox team and the decision maker was in Manchester. Although, if they ask for additional documents, it will be the same person who deals with those.

I hope this helps everyone and hopefully, I can answer any questions you might have.

Please bear in mind, I’m not a qualified immigration advisor. I am just here to offer support. Good Luck everyone!

I applied on 10th January Biometric attended on 14th January 2020. Still waiting for a decision what should I do with the refund should I write them now for the £800 refund or after decision? Should I write to local MP to chase HO for my application because I applied for super priority service and still no update. Anyone here in this forum who received email that we are waiting for a response from another government departments or agency to verify some of the information or documents you have given to us . I uploaded life in the uk pass certificate my master degree previous and current passports and court consent order letters. Why HO taking long time my application is straight forward.
