You have to be more patient. Home office is overwhelmed with applications from Ukraine.

You can join after the start date in the CoS, that's not an issue. If it is delayed more than 28 days, your employer can amend this in their SMS.

They already said it's ok for them to wait, for sure they know what to do if the process takes longer. You should be patient!

Decision letter by Email

Post by Mehrdaaad » Thu Sep 01, 2022 3:46 pm

Hi all

I applied for skilled worker visa from Iran and did my biometric in VFS in 13th July and still await decision.
As I have seen some applicants said they received an email which was about a decision has been made and they had to wait to receive their passport to inform it has a visa or not.
On the other hand, some applicants said they received email about approval or refusal their application visa.

Which one is correct??

Thank you

The first happens when you apply outside of the UK. The second happens inside the UK.

You have already been advised there are delays. You have also tagged onto other topics where members are also waiting due to delays.

There is nothing you can but wait. Posting repeatedly on the forum will not speed up the process.

If you check the timeline threads may give you better idea on how to prepare yourself for the wait.

I think you've been asked for additional info or documents more than once, it seems your application has not been straightforward. Usually these type of applications take longer than those without any additional requirements.

Nobody will be able to tell when you will receive a response. There are severe delays in processing applications these days, take a look at the other posts here including the one re application timelines. You need to be patient and wait until a final outcome is provided.

Thanks for your reply.
I made a mistake in my application in English language part to fill my IELTS UKVI Number and they asked to send them scan of my english test report with 10 working days that I did.
In email there was "If you are unable to send the required evidence within 10 working days a decison will be taken on your application" I sent in that time but nothing has received.
It was the first time that they ask documents.
It is been 3 months after applying and I am still await.

You were asked on the 17th August for personal information.

And more recently again for your English certificate.

Clearly your application has not been straightforward.

The 10 days mentioned in the message from UKVI is the time given to you to provide the requested document, it is not the time for them to give you a response.

Opening many posts with the same query will not make your process faster, also you're risking a suspension or ban from the forum. Again I would suggest you to patiently wait until a decision is made.

Being in a lengthy wait myself before I can understand your frustration, but at least you're in your country of origin where you're free to work or find any source of income whilst waiting. Just imagine applicants in the UK who wait for months for a decision without any income and being unable to work without permission.
