Hello, It makes no difference. I am only interested in the length of time it takes to acquire from the point an application has been submitted. It makes a very big difference. If the time between online application and biometrics is quite large like mine, then clearly I won’t get a decision as quic...

I suppose some people don’t receive email ...

The first response mentioned that UKVI does not send confirmation email but it does send a decision made email . Is there anyone who has not received an email yet got their priority spouse visa approved on time ? How common is it for UKVI not to send such email? In my *extremely recent* experience ...

following this post.. I had my documents scanned on 18th April. actually not sure as I left it with VFS on 18 April and picked them up on 25 April. They said they did scan it on the day though and awaiting ECO email since. Oh so you were allowed to pick it up from them? That’s interesting, they did...

The first response mentioned that...

the confirmed receipt from VFS has mentioned my visa type as Tier 1 (general) instead of Settlement What form did you complete?? The form was from VFS website , where we select and pay for additional services and I happened to pay for my settlement priority visa service. I remember categorically se...

HELLO EVERYONE, I bought the Priority Settlement Visa service from VFS separately , but my visa application form reads the type of visa as "STANDARD" . So should I be worried ? Also when I applied for my visa, the UKVI website had no options for priority appointment - only super priority a...

3) Will it be fine if I strike out the wrong response and enter the correct one on the printed application form? where should my justification note be written? Is it on the end page of the application or on my cover letter? - I am not sure whether you can do that. Striking off or modifying somethin...

Hi Uaana, So, my questions are: 1) Can I walk -in on the 20th of March for my priority visa service along with my bio-metrics appointment? - I think you can walk-in on 20th. Priority is an optional service which VFS provides and they charge a bomb for that. You can check with VFS customer care once...

Hi Guys, I also faced the same issue today at my biometrics appointment at VFS Hyderabad. At the end of process they told me that, now UKVI does not need us to send physical docs to Sheffield. The new process as per VFS is: 1. Either get the supporting docs scanned at VFS at the time of biometric a...
