Hi,

Someone i know went for his biometric appointment on 9th January with my husband. And he received his bisa today. I still had nothing came through. They said, awaiting decision.

They will ask you for your surname, type of visa you appied for and GWF number. I think they don’t have access to all the information. All they say is awaiting decision everytime i called. So I don’t think there is a point to call them before your 30th working day.

Keep us posted though. Good luck. Insha’ALLAH we will receive goodnews soon.

Home office rang me and i was very nervous

then they said who you work for is he related
i said yes he's my uncle

then they asked me what times i work
i said 11 to 7
monday to friday and sunday aswel,

then they rang my uncle and he said he works just
monday to friday
not sunday
and the timings he said one hour wrong
he said 10 to 7 not 11 to 7

but im marketing manager as job role

could this be an issue home office refuse the visa on??
everything is genuine
payslips, taxes, national insurance

just worried about it after the call

everything else is fine asked how many colleagues
there names
cheque and when its given
when i started working
all these were fine

[HamzahB786]

Im sure it should be fine, as long as they felt everything felt genuine, people get nervous. As long as payslips match hours worked, and were deposited in your bank and you have statements to match. Should be fine. One, two minor mistakes in your phone interview, should be okay.

everything else i answered fine
i stated he is my uncle
they rang my uncle and he said yes hes my nephew

wage amounts, empoyee names, buisness address, how im paid, the date im paid

all these things matched
but because it a family business its more flexible
i work from 11 to 7
and work sundays aswel to put extra work in
and monday to fridays

but my uncle said i work 10 to 7
monday to fridays

could visa be rejected because of this

dont think it should be issue. i read someone elses case on here a couple of days ago, they got there hours mixed up, but by quite a lot and also there were discrepancies in their payslips and what was deposited in bank. As long as your boss just mixed up by one hour on phone interview but all your paperwork is fine, dont think it should be an issue.

its okay, you said Sunday is overtime, so you are not contracted to work that. i work 37.5 hours a week contracted but always do overtime every week, but this varies every week depending on when im free to work it. you'll be fine.

if they do ring me i wont be able to give them a exact day and time, it varies every week, dont worry.

oh okay just surprised they are ringing you because it civil services, i wont be hard for them to confirm the employment it real. I work for the NHS. One of my colleagues applied for souse visa about a year ago and he didnt receive a call. So i am not expecting one, but no issue if they do ring.

when was your biometrics, i know you stated, you sent documents on the 9th January, it usually takes 6 weeks from biometrics for priority service. my biometrics were the 7th January, so my 6 weeks are up on 18th February.

My husband biometric apt was on 8th Jan. my 30 working days would be on 19th February. They said we can escalate after 30th working day if we don’t hear anything on priority application. Hopefully we all have an update by end of next week. Its really worrying me too now. Its just about luck i think . Someone had their biometric apt on 9th and they received their visa yesterday. It just makes me think how they priorities their work. On top of this, call centre is just a money making business for them. They don’t hold any info. When i asked i had a call. She said, don’t worry they will attempt to call you 3 times so dont miss the next one . Well everyone who’s waiting, same timeline as myself please keep us posted. It gives us a little hope.
