hi Sneha,

May i ask under which financial Categroy you applied for?

I have applied under category A.

[PariJ]

Category A should be relatively Straight forward to assess, hope you will get update soon.
Mine is category F ,have been refused once this April in chennai ,so applied from Mumbai this time

Mine should have been category F as well but I applied under category A. Will they refuse or give me a chance to send additional documents? Is there an opportunity to send additional documents if you ask for administrative review? I have submitted my accounts, ct600 for the latest available financial year but my bank statements, payslips and p60 for the tax year that just ended. However since application I also have new accounts and CT600 will be submitted soon.

Or will I have to reapply again.

@adnan-Call ukvi and check if you can provide additional documents. Not sure about Pakistan, but in India ECO's are rejecting for missing documents.

@Sneha-I honestly donot know, but once they assess , processing time for your application should be lesser than mine

Thanks Pari. I think that the rules are the same irrespective of the country so they will probably reject and ask me to apply again.

Ok pariJ,
should i email about my status to UKVI or still wait for few more days?. I dont know what to do it been 11 th working day from the day of application. The vfs told me to start sms so that every step you ll get the sms what and where is your application. But all in vain. Hopefully they access soon.

As per the rule stated below, ECO should contact applicant for additional documents but things are changed in last 6 months where ECO reject straight away in some cases (including mine). It is worth call UKVI and checking the options though..

ECB10.13 Evidential flexibility
Evidential flexibility can only be used in PBS applications and settlement applications under Appendix FM. It should only be used in an otherwise compliant application, where one document or piece of evidence is missing, and it is clear from the application form and other documentary evidence that the missing document exists, the entry clearance officer should apply evidential flexibility and request that the applicant provide the missing document within seven working days. If the missing information is not received within the permitted timeframe then the application should be refused.

Evidential flexibility should not be used in situations where even if the missing evidence was provided the application would fall for refusal.

[PariJ]

@sneha-You can email to check the status, it wont cost anything.
SMS status is not helpful here, they send one when you submit the application and one at the end when the passport is ready to collect.

Thank you for contacting the United Kingdom Visas and Immigration
International Enquiry Service.

We understand that you would like to know about the current status of your
visa application. I have tracked the status (GWFXXXXXXXXX and date of birth
XX/XX/XXXX) and found that the application has been processed and it should
be with you in the next few days.

Please note that your passport and documentation could still take some time
to reach you whilst being sent back from the decision making centre and
whilst other administrative formalities are completed. The visa application
centre will be in contact with you regarding the collection or delivery.

If you have purchased a courier service then your documents will be
despatched to the delivery address you have provided. We appreciate your
patience while you wait to receive your documents.


Me personally would not be excited from above email, that is exactly same words i received in April and Visa was denied.

[snehal125]

Thats wonderfull news for you pariJ.
i really hope you get approved this time and best of luck for that.let us know about your status.
