Didn't the Post Office give you a Recorded Delivery receipt?

I want to share my experience with you.

I made my application in mid march on priority service but still no update yet...

Also I have not got acknowledge email of the document received by Sheffield.

I have tracked my status twice and reply was no updates regarding application.

We have to show some patience because it varys from case to case.There is no hard and fast rules ukvi does follow for priority service application.

Though we paid extra money to them for our convenience but they are not cooperative.

I pray May God reunite all of us and reward good life for our paitence.
Inshallah

There is no 'UKBA' anymore.

Google contact UKVI.

That's good news MR Hassan

Finally priority service worked in your case.

Inshallah with in few days you will get an email for the collection of passport.

I have read on someone post that he got processed email in day or two.

Hopefully you will get positive reply in next two or three days.

I think they will not send letter with the support documents...it will be with your passport.

Inshallah

Please let us know about your outcome.

Can you tell us... did you receive your documents back on the weekend?

Inshallah soon u get an email of Gerry's for collection of passport with visa.
Inshallah

Actually I just read on the forum that people were getting email in two or three days...
Last time when I applied documents were submitted here in Islamabad Gerry's but now the process has been changed....

No not yet.... I have not got my documents back.
But as I read many cases few people got documents before processed email and some after the collection of passport .It varys from case to case.

I would say wait for their email because Sheffield notify the UK embassy in Pakistan to issue a visa to that person after decision had been made.
Then the embassy send the passport for the collection to Gerry's .

I think you should wait for few more days.
