Hello Everyone,
I made the tier 4 General visa Application at VAC Islamabad on 27th of September and today is the 14th working day. Processing time in Pakistan is 15 working days. Shall I email the ukvi to know about the status of my application or shall wait till tommorow. Also I haven't received any email from ukvi regarding any delay in processing my visa application. I would request the senior members of the board to advise me on this. Thank you

The published processing time isn't guaranteed. It's only a guideline.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Dear Shahrukh,
I haven't got any email yet. I got just one email when I submitted the case. After that I haven't received any email. I spoke with the uni and they told me that my 15 working days will end tommorow and if I don't get a response by tommorow then they will contact the homeoffice.
Regards

Just have to sit tight and wait it out. As simple as that.

Hello shahrukh,
Hope you will be doing good. I wanted to let you know that I have emailed Ukvi and also told the university to contact Ukvi as my 15 working days are ending today. I will surely let you know when I hear something back from the homeoffice. Have you got any update?

Dear CSS,
Just wondering which email address you used? Was it the T4SSX address?

You already have your Tier 4 sponsor liaising with the Home Office on your behalf. I do not recommend that you start emailing them yourself too.
I do not give immigration advice. I refer you to Immigration Rules, guidance, other online content and to your sponsor.
