We understand that you would like to know about the current status of your
visa application. We have tracked the status (GWF and date of birth
dd/mm/yyyy) and found that the application has been referred to another
authority for inquiries to reach a final decision. Your visa application
centre or the entry clearance officer (ECO) will contact you once a
decision has been made or, if necessary, during the consideration of your

When did you receive this mail? It seems many are getting this reply. Did you get this after 12 weeks?

Judging by the dates you provided I'm sure I've read up here it goes by the date of documents received by and not submission nor biometrics
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
Application received @ BHC ISB - 06/05/15
I reckon 1st week of August you need to wait
Allah swt grant us all sabr and when our time comes.

after such a painful and ruthless time and possibly sleepless night's. In general ppl have had a negative outcome after such 12 weeks stage. Surely this can't be right

Hi, can somebody pls help, I am hoping to apply for my husbands visa in the next few days, however I am confused as to if I meet the threshold as per the home office requirements my monthly salary is about £1300 I get a shift allowance too however I get commission and bonus every month which takes me over the £1550 can I use commission and bonus pay to meet the threshold, My bonus and commission is different every month. Any annual holiday entitlement I use is shown as holiday pay on my payslip do I need to clarify this in my employment letter too. I am contracted to do a set number of hours every week

I'm sure they would have found the complications with in the 1st if not the second week as it's not rocket science due to the system and how it's working I'm sure they do everything and just about anything to make sure what we say and give matches or not its either all there or not hmrc tax ni and bank account's housing everything else all is in front of them probably with moments. They just like to take there time and be very unconscionable. They should try n match the time scale to the monies that they are banking

As per my experience generally 3 emails are sent after bhc receives ones docs. Last year i applied for a visit visa and i received 3 emails after they were done.
Ukvi-resolved
ukvi-despatched
gerrys-ready for collection
There was a period of 3 days between the first 2 and but i got the last email the very next day.

Most solicitors are USELESS.
I RECEIVED THE SAME EMAIL and within a week my wife had her visa approved. Most these emails sent are just to make you think they are progressing with your visa application which may not be the case.
NB: THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE ON THIS FORUM WHO RECEIVED THE SAME EMAIL AND LIKE ME THE VISA WAS APPROVED.

Hi
I am jus wondering if someone can help me, prior to me receiving my current job I was a the prime cater for my grandmother.. A while back my circumstances changed, to be fair I completely forgot about my carers allowance when I began employment I never really had a look at my bank statements or finances my balance always fluctuated as I had family's momey in my account to.. I am due to apply for my husbands visa as soon as I realised back in March that I was receiving money I was entitled to I wrote to dwp and asked them to cancel this asap which they did.. But they have never wrote to me requesting further info as they initially said they would so that they could calculate the overpayment and agree repayment.. Is this going to affect my application?

I don't understand Docs + Biometrics of my wife were submitted on 15/07/15 at Lahore and hasn't received any email that BHC Islamabad has received them. Everyone else here seems to have received an email the next day or something that BHC Islamabad has received them. Do I assume they were received the next day once they were submitted in Lahore.
Please help.

Have you emailed ukvi and asked them? They should be able to tell you as you are not asking about the update this soon but just the fact whether the BHC received them or not
