Got the email on Monday informing us that our application has been processed, and to wait until the VAC contact us to collect the passports and documents.
I have to admit I'm quite surprised as it was only the day before that I was explaining to my wife how we probably won't hear anything until March at the earliest.
So anyway I've been reading on this thread that Gerrys are a bit slack in confirming when the documents are ready for collection. How long should it be until we are contacted by Gerrys? And if no contact is forthcoming, should I ask my wife to go to Gerrys in a few days to check if they are ready?
This part is quite annoying as we now know that a decision has been made and we're anxious to find out as soon as possible. I had a feeling initially that it must be a good sign that it has been processed in 3 months, as it most probably means it was a straightforward case and has been accepted. As time goes on though, pessimism is taking over. I can only remain hopeful that Allah has listened to my prayers and granted them.
MASHALLAH congrats...wish u best of luck..dnt frgt to share wd us the outcome...INSHALLAH it will a positiv response..Juarah wrote:Salaam

UKVI enquiry are run by an external company they have no powers to speed up application process. Escalation just means that they will contact the relevant section making centre and check directly what stage the visa app is atMoa7 wrote:Hey guys, I understand that when the UKVI replies saying "your case has been escalated",they actually mean that "your query" has been escalated.
But how do we know when their reply actually means that the case has been escalated? What do they say differently instead of the same old "your case has been escalated"?
Most people if not all query about their case so if your query has been escalated meaning your case has been escalated meaning they have done something about it. Would that something be beneficial to you only Allah swt knows.Moa7 wrote:Hey guys, I understand that when the UKVI replies saying "your case has been escalated",they actually mean that "your query" has been escalated.

I would give it till Monday, if you haven't received a call then pay a visit at the Lahore VAC. Gerrys system is worst than BCH's system, your documents are probably already at Lahore VAC as we speak, It doesn't take that long after the decision has been made for your documents to return back to relevant VAC.Juarah wrote:Salaam

Thanks for replying guys! but thats not what I was asking so I will try to rephrase my question : ) Basically what do ukvi/the external faqs body/bhc islamabad/whichever concerned authority say when they actually escalate your case? What email do they send to you to tell that they've escalated your case? Like what are their wordings?tallojani wrote:Most people if not all query about their case so if your query has been escalated meaning your case has been escalated meaning they have done something about it.

VAC will contact me when the documents are ready for collection.
Anyone know how long it takes before VAC Contact me? How long will it takes for the documents to get to Lahore from Islambad? This wait is killing me!!
Hope it is good news!
It seems they are trying to redeem their standard processing time of around 12 weeks. Consider yourself lucky pal. Hope you hear great news soon : )pind_da_munda_786 wrote:I got an email today saying the visa has been processed and will be returned to VAC.

Looks like the ECO made his decision very quickly - I made sure I submitted perfect paperwork..
Thank you for contacting the UK Visas and Immigrations International
enquiry service.
I am sincerely sorry to hear that you are experiencing for an unexpected
situation.
The ECO (Entry Clearance Officer) at the decision making centre will
sensitively assess your application as you are genuinely seeking entry to
the UK for the purpose and duration that you have stated.
Regarding your query, we escalated your case as of today. Could you please
kindly wait until we contact again.
Your patient is much appreciated.
