Both the home office and my reference numbers have been working when tried them but i just tried the home office one and it ain't working anymore. Says reference number has not been recognised saying awaiting decision. My reference still says awaiting decision. Has this happened to anyone?

[mahasam]

One of two numbers (the Axxxxxxxx) stopped working even through this link https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/ ... visastatus .

Hi,
It's same here. I applied on 27 April through NCS and both of them working since couple of months and showing Awaiting a decision, but the one starting with Axxxxxxx has stopped working since yesterday and the one which starts with 22xxxxxx still showing Awaiting a decision.
Not sure it's something due to our applications are in final process and decided or due to some other reasons, as the one which starts with Axxxxxxx is the same reference number for my almost all the applications to UKVI including ILR.

I sent email to UKVI to get update and they said they are making further enquiries .looks like they dont know nothing and just said making further enquiries. This is total insane, we paid hefty amount of fees for this and we are being treated like puppets.

Hello all

When I checked my status this morning, using both my 'Our Ref: No of the acknowledgement letter and the Case reference No on the Bio metric letter, it showed awaiting decision.
When I checked just now again, using the 'Our ref' shows awaiting decision but the Bio metric letter Case reference shows DECIDED.

Mine was a family application of three (myself, spouse and son). My son's and spouse Case reference showing 'not recognized' (it always has been the case since using the link to check status as from June)

Has anyone got experience of family application? Does the DECIDED status apply to all the three? Am hoping so, as the acknowledgement letter did acknowledge receipt of documents for all the three applicants but addressed to me only.

Furthermore I had received letter from the HO (three weeks ago) regarding my son, who turned 18 during the naturalisation process, asking for £80 fee for ceremony for his application to be consideration, which I had sent the same day (i.e. three weeks ago). The letter had the same ref No as of the first acknowledgement letter addressed to my me in March,

Would appreciate if any member can shed some light on family application decision factor. Thanks.

Good news everyone.

Received my BC approval letter this morning in a grey envelope dated 7th August.

Will post in March timeline soooon.

Good luck to everyone else waiting

I applied on 14th May. The case id tracking was working till 12.30 today with 'awaiting a decision'. Suddenly, it has just stopped working now and says cant be recognised. The number beginning with 2.......... still shows awaiting a decision.

[bashirsk]

I just checked like an hour ago and the status said decided on June 7 and when I checked right now it's gone bad to awaiting decision. This is weird. Has anyone experienced this?. This looks like a bug in their system.

It is a BETA/TRIAL service!!!

[bashirsk]

Yah it's still in beta but if they updated it to decided and it went back, are still gonna send me the approval letter in the next 10 days or?

It's a joke how people who applied end of May are getting their case decided before people who applied in April. And it looks like postal application are being decided faster than NCS

I applied on 20 Mar (Family application via NCS - Naturalisation + passports). On 13 Jul with my application Case ID (2xxx), the status said 'Decided'. Subsequently my wife and child got their decision letters. The "Our Ref" starting with the first letter of the surname said "Awaiting Decision" as on 25 May. I'm awaiting my decision letter and it's been more than a month. Since yesterday, querying on the "Our Ref" results in a 'reference not valid'. I've been phoning the Home Office for the past few weeks to check if this a case of missing documentation or my application still under process. They haven't given any update. Highly frustrating as it's been nearly 5 months since the date of application. Any one else in a similar situation?

Similar issue for me. Sent application for me and daughter on 10th of March. Was "awaiting a decision" until 9th August when it changed to not recognised. My biometric ref still say awaiting a decision.
We're both EU citizens.

I'm having same problem, have no idea when it started saying ref not recognised but I realised yesterday. It's horrible to wait for this long I applied in March 2015.

[Ali khan123]

did you receive any latter from HO wich says your case might take longer than 6 month???

[Nav74]

Yes they sent me three letters. 1 was acknowledgement 2nd when I requested MP in 2016, and 3rd one this year March. 2nd and 3rd letter says some applications take longer. According to me my application was straightforward.
