Thank you. Appreciate it. You should have been my advisor in the first place then.

I would have thought Tier 2 General would have been more appropriate if it is a completely separate legal entity company as you are not effectively being 'deputised' to the UK but starting with a different employer. You know what, you could be right. My case is very unusual to the external solicito...

Sorry chan to hear that. I m really sorry about that. What sort of checks, what were they upto. What type of job were u offered, and why they withdrew it? They did not mention what sort of checks. It was an ICT visa, couldn't have been more straightforward since no proof of English proficiency or c...

Hi chan any update? My job offer is withdrawn. It's been 13 weeks in total, yesterday the Home Office Decision Making Centre emailed to say my application hasn't been straightforward and extended checks are needed. No time scale can be given as to when a decision will be made. They are only telling...

Guys, I have received an email from the HO requesting for supporting documents of my application which I personally submitted three months ago. I replied to their email with the necessary documents two days ago and I still haven't heard anything from them. The online tracker says my GWF is not recog...

This is exactly what I meant.

Hi My application was submitted on: 8 August 2017 My Bio-metrics was done on: 10 August 2017 Received an email indicating that my application is currently being prepared for consideration by an Entry Clearance Officer on: 11 August 2017 Checked my status on https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/ap...

I am waiting too. Submitted on 26july. Second time application, refused due to insufficient proof of English in the first time. Received the email regarding not straightforward application on 16aug. You mean yours was rejected straight away without any request for additional information?! That happ...

I'm still waiting. How about you?

Nothing. I emailed ukvi again and they said a decision has been made, but so far no txt from vfs, no email, can't track in on the courier website. Maybe this afternoon I'll finally receive that long awaited notification. Ugh. What ID do you use to track the status? Any trick to keying in the number...

I re sent my documents August 10. They asked for IELTS certificate, TB certificate and Police Clearance, all of which I had originally submitted on July 7th. I scanned them and sent them to an email address that they gave me. And then they made the decision on the same day. Have you heard anything ...

At least yours is progressing... That's good.

I saw! You know, I can't track my status at all, even though over the phone they told me it's 'awaiting a decision'. I have used GWF, IHS, and the reference ID on escalation. I wonder why! Yours is a standard application right? Congratulations! Keep us posted please...

Yes, I have tried calling them and they said the status is 'awaiting approval' and they can't do much about it now. I will update here and the timeline once I hear anything.

Her case was escalated Aug2 and got her visa Aug9. My documents were perfectly complete when I submitted them. This issue is more common than we may think, them losing documents. Either that or vfs' system is horrible. My case was escalated on 28 July and I haven't heard anything from the Home Offi...

Do you know on which day after escalation did she get her visa?

I saw you updated your timeline and the Home Office is requesting your scanned copies of documents? Didn't you have your documents scanned at the VFS already?

I did my biometrics on 29 May and I am still waiting to hear from the immigration. The status tracker shows my reference ID is not recognised. For those who managed to track your application, did you apply from inside or outside the UK? Because I thought the tracker was meant for applications made ...

Omg congratulations abdrazak!!! You must be excited! So happy for you! Actually, I'm not sure if I should request for my case to be escalated too because the first email exchange was sent out by my legal vendor engaged by my future employer, on my behalf. The vendor's advice is to wait for a few mor...

That's great news, abdrazak!! Good on you and congratulations!! Hopefully it will be a breeze after this.

Good luck too!

Hi abdrazak, Thanks so much for replying so quickly. It's ridiculous to hear that they charge you per email query. Once your query is answered, a new charge applies. Today is the 15th day since the escalation of your case right? Please update us once you hear anything and I'll do the same too! :) Th...

Hi Prudent, Sad to hear that. My case is somewhat similar to your husband's - except that I applied in normal mode. I appeared for my biometrics on 16th May and now it is past 40 working days without any progress on my visa. However, I called the UKVI and got my case escalated on 22nd June. The thi...
