Very very true. It's never been from the online application date, that would make no sense whatsoever.

It's not some made up theory. It's always been from the biometric date, it's mentioned explicitly in a variety of correspondence.

Luckybird - this is copied from their standard emails: We have service level standards for processing UK visa applications. We will process 90% of non-settlement applications within 3 weeks, 98% within 6 weeks and 100% within 12 weeks of the application (biometric taken) date; and 95% of settlement ...

Amz786, the rule is that ESOL will be accepted until 5th November 2015 as long as it was taken before 5th April 2015.

Irfan you can use that test, as long as you apply before 5th November. Your TB test has to be valid at the time of applying so you'll be fine.

Hi everyone not posted for a while but I am surprised a lot of you think that ECO are good at their jobs they don't always get it right and I have always said when you make an application look at it and think in the way what can they refuse it on not have I got everything read back pages on here as...

Irfan, that's the most ridiculous refusal I've seen in a while. Hope it doesn't come to an appeal or reapplying. Was that the only reason in the letter?

From what I've seen, they email some applicants to say they've received the documents but others they don't. Unfair really but maybe you could phone UKVI to check if they do have it?

Lol! Can't believe it's been nearly two months already. Inshallah you'll get your collection email soon.

Rizwan, I was thinking of escalating it on my 10th week (24th August) because a lot of people have got their visas within 10 weeks so that seems like a good time for us to start chasing it up?

My husband applied in June and we haven't requested any updates or escalations. It's too early yet, there'd be no point. Just got to sit tight and wait.

i thought paying fr NHS must be one of the section of online application like visa fees section.

Thanks

You should get it instantly. Remember to handwrite it on the front page of the VAF4A, the paper print out of your online application.

Saf as long as the total earnt is over £18,600 it can be 12 from one job and 1 from a new job even as long as the COMBINED total is over the 18.6 make sure you have employment contract/letter from employer and p60 if possible. I am sure I read somewhere you need to be in employment with the same em...

Thanks for replying Brom. That sounds more like them, I couldn't see them escalating a case early just because someone wanted it! Good luck with your case.

I think you use this website, there should be an email address there somewhere.

I was under the impression that you could only escalate your case if it's been more than 12 weeks since the biometrics appointment? Do they normally escalate that early - the 8th week?
