Hey,

I also applied on 11th July, received an e-mail saying an ECO had been assigned to consider my case. Since then absolutely no communication.

Called the helpline this morning, they said my application had been considered but its still awaiting decision. Any idea what that means? Does that mean there is something wrong with my application?

Ohh this is really very critical scenario for you. I think you should approach UKVI through all channels (email, phone etc) ans inquire about your visa decision. Also inform them that LSE has given you an extension till 29th only.

Dont loose trust to hope for the best..!!

Dear <<MISSING DATA FOR:>>## First Name ## ***********,

Regarding Visa Application: GWF0********
For: <<MISSING DATA FOR:>>## First Name ## ******

Your online application has been received at the UK Decision Making Centre. Your application is currently being prepared for consideration by an Entry Clearance Officer.

If you have made a Settlement application (except for applications lodged in USA and Canada): you must ensure that your UK sponsor has sent all relevant supporting documentation to the UK Decision Making Centre in Sheffield. The documents should be arranged in this order: application form and relevant Appendix* (See below); English language evidence; relationship documents; maintenance documents; accommodation documents. If documents are not received a decision will be taken on the basis on the information that has been provided.

If you have already had your supporting documents scanned in at the Visa Application Centre, or if you have already sent them in to us, please ignore the request for documents.

Please note that UKVI aims to complete all Visit Visa applications within 15 working days and all Settlement Visa applications within 12 weeks of the application date. If it is not possible to complete your application within this timeframe a member of our team will contact you to explain why.

If you have paid for Priority Service, your application will be placed in front of the queue and assessed ahead of other non-priority visa applications. As indicated in the terms of service, the amount paid for the priority service, as well as the visa fees, is not refundable if the visa application is refused or if the decision is delayed.

We regret that we are unable to respond to enquiries asking about the status of any application. Any status enquiry should be made to the international enquiry service, details of which are on the GOV.UK website. Staff at Embassies, visa processing centres and visa application centres cannot assist with visa enquiries. You may also wish to view the current processing times for applications made in your country.

A further email will be sent to you to confirm when your application has been assessed and dispatched. If your application was made in a Visa Application Centre, the staff there will contact you when your documents are ready – please do not attend the Centre until you are requested to do so.

Please note that you are advised not to purchase flight tickets until you have secured a visa for travel to the UK.

*List of Appendices:
Appendix 1 - Children / Other Dependants
Appendix 2 - Spouse / Partner
Appendix 4 - Pre-flight family members of Refugees
Appendix 5 - Access Rights to Child

Further information is also available on the UK visas and immigration website.

Kind regards,

UK Decision Making Centre

I applied for a tier 4 from Lahore, Pakistan.
- I submitted my online visa application on 21'st of July.
- My interview appointment at VFS LAHORE was on 28'th of july.
- I got an email that my online application has been recieved at The UK decision making center on 7'th of August.
- I received another email on 18'th of August exactly after 15 working days stating that the application is still under consideration and they aim to make a decision as soon as possible.
- on 21'st of august i got a call from the decision making center and they conducted a telephonic interview with almost the same questions but a few more as if they were double checking. After the interview he said that "you'll get a decision very very soon"
- it's 25'th of August today (20 working day's since the interview and biometrics) and i still didn't get the decision.
Kindly look at the timeline and let me know if someone has experienced the second interview before because it's stressing me now.

@imhassankhan,
Like you I also applied through Lahore VFS but my biometric + interview was conducted on 4th August. Then I received an email on 13th that my appliciation is now with decision team. After that I have not received any further email, not even a call for 2nd telephonic interview.

But since you have passed 2nd interview too - I hope you will really get your passport back soon.
Please keep us posted on any update you may have.

just make sure you say exactly what you said in the first interview. Don't make any changes to your answer. They'll ask the same questions as in the first interview
