Decision has been made, get your Hubby to get down to Gerry's straight away! How fortunate are you - the wait is over, verily Allah has favoured you. Alhamdulillah!!!! Visa was granted. Hubby tried picking it up on 08th Feb but knew he wouldn't get there in time for closing. So he went on the 9th a...
Final Update 😊 Country applying from: Pakistan, Islamabad Type of visa applied for: Dependent Settlement (wife and daughter) Priority/Non-Priority: Priority Date application submitted (online ): 13-12-2017 Date biometrics taken: 18-12-2017 Date documents forward to UKVI: 21-12-2017 Date documentati...
Wow, priority is really working! The application in question was sent off last week, royalmail confirmed delivery was signed for at Vulcan house. Then email next day saying "Online application has been reached at UK Processing centre and being prepared for the ECO", did you get similar wo...
How did HO confirm they received it, did they write "we now have your support documents". ? The trend I am seeing is that if sent to Vulcan house they return docs back after a decision is made whereas PO box they return quick. Wonder if in Vulcan house they dont even bother photocopying. ...
There is also a Vulcan house address that some people from Pakistan send to, wonder if anyone has sent there So this is an issue I had too. I was planning to send via Royal Mail to the PO Box 5852 address and that's what my envelope had on it. Took it to the post office, they said it was too heavy ...
I know on the gov.uk website it says you should submit passport photos and I had my spouse's ready for this reason. But my solicitor said there was no need.
Don't worry Sakhtar my spouse has same story biometrics done on 18/12 haven't heard from home office yet nor received any email regarding documents even we paid priority. I will update you as soon as I got any news. This wait is horrible! I hope you hear something soon. Good luck, and yes please up...
If they have received them then just wait. I seen people who have received docs after a decision has been made! Inshaallah you get docs back soon. If you are really worried you can call them. Thank you! I think I'll wait a few more days and see what happens. I'm not too bothered about the documents...
I too, am in the same position. Online application: 22/12/17 Biometrics: 29/12/17 Your biometrics were taken on the 08/01/18 which means as of today, it has only been 16 days. They aim to process priority applications with 30 working days from date of biometrics. I would say save the £5 odd that the...
Does it matter if I've applied priority and I've not had the original documents returned yet? This is for a spouse initial Visa. I can see reading this forum that people tend to have their documents returned pretty quickly. My husband had his biometrics on 29/12/17 in Mirpur and docs were sent to Sh...
Thanks Sakhtar. So even though it says standard on the application, I should apply for priority via vfs and put the confirmation receipt in the docs I will be sending to Sheffield? Does my partner need a copy to take to the visa centre in Mirpur or will they already know when checking the GWF appli...
Hello all, My timeline is as follows: Application submitted: Spouse visa settlement (Husband) Priority / non priority: (Non priority app) Online app : 17/10/2017 Biometrics: 23/10/17 Supporting documents sent to Sheffield: same day 23/10/2017 Acknowledgement email and supporting documents received ...
Hi, For priority applications they aim to give an answer within 30 working days (not guaranteed, I know) and 60 working days for non priority. My question is when does this start from? Does it start from the day of the online application (spouse Visa) or the day of biometrics, or the day I received ...
It should be fine insha'allah. I had a similar issue where my document delivery was messed up by the parcel courier. I rang the stupidly priced telephone number and they said they'd email me to find out if they have the documents. 2 days later they emailed. I would chase them up and escalate it, you...
Hi, Not sure on the applying for second time bit. However, yes the only way to apply for priority is using the VFS Global website. You should print the confirmation and include it in the first few pages of the documents you send to Sheffield. They have to tell you that it's not guaranteed to be a mo...
Hi, If it helps, I live with family and applied for Husband Spouse Visa. We had a solicitor carry out the inspection. He specialises in immigration so it helped that he knew what we needed to do. They just look at the house and state that it isn't overcrowded which seems to be fine based on your des...

Hi, Why couldn't you submit your papers to Sheffield within 2 weeks? What was the hold up? 2 weeks from the date of 04/01/18 when you had biometrics would mean that the papers would have had to be delivered to Sheffield by 18/01/18. Can you not send them off ASAP and hope for the best? Otherwise, if...
I too would appreciate an update - we applied online 22/12/17 and biometrics were done on 29/12/17. Received an email on 16/01/18 saying the application was being assessed by an ECO. Not heard anything since
