So they don't even care about the 30 working day rule anymore? Just unbelievable.aerobalag wrote: ↑Tue Aug 22, 2017 4:53 pmI called UKVI today...worst service.. they are still saying ur application under process...nd then again the lady said...I will escalate ur application.. then I scolded but she didn't hear wt I said ,then she said again ill will escalate. I don't know wt they are seriously thinking about us..30 workings days over..still waiting
i applied next day...I called them nd they said those exact words....that means..we have to wait till they reply
So does that mean they consider it but only updates the decision when they feel like it?

I've been reading this thread since quite a long time now. Just logged in to let you guys know the situation I'm in right now.
I applied through VFS Mumbai with the standard visa service (not priority)
My timeline is as follows:
29 July - Applied for my VISA online
02 August - Biometrics taken and interview done
04 August - Got a text from VFS saying my application has been forwarded to the UKVI
14 August - I got an email saying that my application will now be considered by the ECO
16 August - The VISA status website (https://contact-ukvi.homeoffice.gov.uk/ ... visastatus) updated my status as decided and I will receive the decision within 10 working days. (My IHS number was unrecognised so I used the GWF number and fortunately it worked)
I am still waiting for VFS to contact me regarding the collection of my Passport. I think I'll probably get it latest by Monday.
Still waiting for the VFS call though.Razbi wrote: ↑Tue Aug 22, 2017 6:44 pmaarypatil wrote: ↑Tue Aug 22, 2017 5:46 pmHi everyone,

Great...Atleast your case is decided i have been waiting since 24th july
When were you planning to travel? I put down 4th October, maybe they are processing applications according to date of travel.
Nothing from my end... It's the 29th working day!.christinar1087 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2017 9:52 amHi Mugatiya26,Mahbolla,
Any Luck......This wait is just not ending......I have already lost hopes........
Could you guys share your expected date of travel? Maybe they are processing, October travellers last, and September ones first.Mugatiya26 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2017 10:00 amNothing from my end... It's the 29th working day!.christinar1087 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2017 9:52 amHi Mugatiya26,Mahbolla,

Mine is the 16th of September, and I saw someone who was scheduled to fly on the 21st of august still waiting for his/her visa. So I don't think they really care about the intended day of travel.mta143 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2017 10:01 amCould you guys share your expected date of travel?

This doesn't make any sense. I don't see why it should take this long. Maybe we have all been assigned to the same ECO who is clearly not very good at his job.Mugatiya26 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2017 10:04 amMine is the 16th of September, and I saw someone who was scheduled to fly on the 21st of august still waiting for his/her visa.

I applied from Bangladesh, we didn't even have the option for priority application. Btw, when does your session start?aerobalag wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2017 10:17 ammay be...I made a huge mistake by making my application standard...mta143 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2017 10:10 amThis doesn't make any sense.

True. But taking this long to process standard applications are inexcusable. Their own website claims that all non settlement applications are processed within 6 weeks and most within 3.aerobalag wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2017 10:17 ammay be...I made a huge mistake by making my application standard...mta143 wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2017 10:10 amThis doesn't make any sense.
