They are sodding useless. Even though I'm in the U.K, I emailed them as I couldn't get hold of anyone else using the U.K numbers (all automated advising you to check the Gov website, no good when you have a specific question). £6 for no reply. Chased them up multiple times (more than 10 days), and nothing. Luckily my situation has been resolved, but no thanks to them.

Is someone able to clarify exactly what "awaiting a decision" means? I mean the explanatory page on the status checker just says "your application has been considered", so does this mean that they've done their checks and assessed the application and are now just waiting for a decision to be ratified, or...?

No, it just means my problem was solved, I had some issues when I sent the supporting documents. My wife only applied for her visa 3 weeks ago (biometrics 27/06/17), so I don't expect a decision so soon, especially after how long some people have been waiting. (She applied from Osaka, Japan - priority).

Hi Trick

yesterday i emailed them to ask how long i need to wait more since the application has been considered and awaiting a decision. they replied that my sponsorhas not demonstrated that they are in receipt of the claimed income. The minimum income requirement has therefore not been met.

 
they mentioned again about the letter sent me on 2 June 2017 informing I that the Home Office had paused decision-making on some applications under Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules applications in light of the Supreme Court judgment on Wednesday 22 February 2017

i called them after had received this email they said that many applications have been paused and they should let me know over the next few days if they need anymore information from me about finance

Have you received anymore information about your application?

Hello Guys....I am also in the same boat... I am really scared as you guys been waiting since long. My spouse given biometric on 14th June and till now I rang HO twice thrice now.
first time they said application waiting to be considered. Second and third time they mentioned that application waiting for decision. what does 'waiting for decision' mean. My application is priority.

That means you will get a decision in 60 days. Priority visa applications are now at 57-60 days before decided. You only applied in June. Honestly, you are simply wasting your money calling them. Please read the time line threads for India, Pakistan, my timeline thread!! Actually read his thread from start to finish.

The majority of people on this thread have been waiting over 90 working days and have receieved the on hold email. You have achieved neither. Your spouse gave biometric on 14th June, my spouse gave biometric on 21st April!!!! We only got an email saying decision made on Saturday 15th July, 58 working days. Are you even reading the theread?

You are in a fine position. Start worrying when you achieve one or the other. Until then, accept 60 working days for priority. Miss Katie has already very kindly shared on this thread how to claim your money back for priority application in certain circumstances.
I'm not an expert and only answer from my personal experience and understanding of the rules. Spouse Settlement Visa Granted for my wife July 2017. You should not take my advice as absolute.

Hi all,
I think I am on the same boat as you guys. If it is possible please help me understand the situation of my application.
I submitted a UK settlement visa under priority service. I will tell you the time line
24/5/17:. Online application submitted and all the fees including priority service fee of INR 46k something that day.
05/6/17: Appointment at VFS Cochin (Kerala, India). Biometrics were taken that day and submitted my passport. In the evening of the same day I got a message on my phone saying that my application has been forwarded.
12/06/17: Completed application with all supporting docs were sent to Scheffield HO via post from London itself.
15/06/17: Documents were sent back along with acknowledgement letter.
03/07/17: Emailed the HO asking about the status and got the reply that "Awaiting Decision".

As of today, 27 working days have gone by and this is the 28th day. At the time of priority fees remittance I was informed that I will get a decision within 15 or mx 20 working days. Today is the 28th working day and no sign of decision. Also they sent me a link through which we can track the status of our application https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/ ... _W~zj~PP9f
It is not recognizing any of the reference numbers I got along with my application. How long will I have to wait.... Hope someone can share their wisdom....

Hi adventurier

Did you read any of the other posts on this thread? Priority settlement applications are no longer being processed so quickly. Someone here has been waiting since december with a priority application! 27 working days is nothing, im at Almost 55, and there's plenty of other people who paid for priority and have been waiting a lot longer than you. We have figured the tracker only works if you applied inside the UK, or your application has been decided.

Call Home Office
1: To check the status of your application
2: To ask them to Escalate your Case

ALSO


Speak to your MP to write them a letter.
