Re: Decision via email request

Just naturalised + applied for British passport in the last few months; nothing comes via post (except the passport, that we're waiting on) - so you should be fine.

Every decision has come via email.

Thanks for the reply. I am trying at 1 AM but no luck so far. Guess I will keep trying.
1am London time? I just booked one (Set M 5 year though) yesterday at 1:01am.

If you see nothing just after 1:00am you probably aren't able to use it and might as well go for standard.

Has anyone recieved a BRP recently? If so, what was the decision date on your letter? We're still waiting from 16th January. I'm starting to worry UKVI are clearing the application backlog and are processing on time and have now caused the department producing BRPs to fall over. Other threads only s...

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

Did they atleast agree to escalate for you? From what I've read in this forum, many people were told that they can't escalate before 5 working days. I also applied on 28th Jan. Instead of calling them, I'm thinking of emailing on their complaints id. Heads up: the complaints email address has a 20 ...

Re: Is premium lounge always a priority booking

The premium lounge is only a "nicer" appointment (privacy, free food etc). It does not affect your processing time what-so-ever. They scan it and send it to UKVI, and UKVI will process it in due course. You can get free appointments at Core centres (assuming availability) without the extra...

Re: Small error on settlement visa cover letter

Why not just have her amend the document by hand? If you want a no-expense-spared route then send a new one. But as I said, I don't think it'll be that material (myself - I am not a professional) but for my own sanity I would just amend it by hand rather than waste £40 and more stress in ensuring th...

Re: Small error on settlement visa cover letter

Change it by hand to August (and annotate the change with your signature if you so desire)?

I hardly think it's going to matter, but for your own sanity's sake I'd just change it by hand.

Re: UKVCAS Super Priority Service

We have to wait 5 days to escalate a response for a 24-hour service? That seems like a bit of a joke on their part. Yeah, hopefully you get your decision before then so you don't have to. Escalating largely does nothing, and you can't speak to someone who actual has a your case information to hand....
