I thought of creating this topic for the Malaysians to share their experience and timeline in getting their visa done. I believe many are as anxious as me right now.
Background: I did a 2 years Masters in UK, just completed and now applying to pursue another Masters in UK for 3 years. My first visa started on 25th August 2015 and will expire on 12th September 2017. I am making my second visa from Malaysia. My second Master course start on 1st September 2017, end at 31st July 2020.
Timeline: (priority service)
24th July 2017 -- submitted online application
26th July -- documents submission + Biometric appointment (10am) Received acknowledgement email from SHEFO (4pm)
2nd Aug -- request for application status by email (paid 5 pounds+) --> application has been considered and awaiting for decision
6th Aug -- use this link (https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/ ... visastatus) to check my application status --> DECIDED (updated on 3rd Aug)
I still haven't receive any email from VFS in Malaysia to collect my passport. As far as I know, Malaysian passports are delivered to Manila for stamping. Anybody know how long does it take for them to be delivered it back to Malaysia?
Today is the 10th working day for my visa application with priority service. It was stated online saying that priority process usually take up to 5 working days, was then told by VFS staff said it will take 7 working days
