UK visa application – GWFXXXXXXX

Post by floxkp » Wed May 13, 2015 4:23 pm

Hi,

I have received below email today after applying for a visitor visa for 2 of my relatives for both of them


Subject: UK visa application – GWFXXXXXXX

Dear Customer,

Your UK visa application has been concluded.

You will be contacted by the Visa Application Centre when your passport and documents are ready for collection, or have been dispatched via courier (if you selected this optional service).

PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THE VISA APPLICATION CENTRE BEFORE THEY CONTACT YOU.

You are reminded that you should avoid making travel plans until you have collected your passport.

If you need to contact us you can do so via our International Enquiry Service at www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-outside-uk

Kind regards,

UK Visas and Immigration
British Embassy Abu Dhabi
www.gov.uk/ukvi

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE. THIS MAILBOX IS NOT MONITORED.

What do you think are the chances that it got approved? Although I have read elsewhere on the internet that these emails should be not be looked into too closely as they are no indication of whether the application was successful or not but I believe there must be something to the inconsistent format of these emails.

Any help would be much appreciated :D

It is their standard response and is sent to all applicants regardless of refusal or approval. The applicant will only know the decision when they collect their documents.
