Still waiting for a decision.....

[Raj86]

Biometric appointment was done on April. My application is put on hold since July.

The question is I went for a job interview, I got the job offer. I'm not sure to accept the offer or will it affect my application already with the home office since April. I'm sooo onfused what to do.

I applied In Jan and got hold msg in march.....

HI,
i dont know ur status, my application submit in 30th march, got not straight forward 23rd june, still waiting until now. my fiance change his job in start of may, but we can't resumbit extra documents cause HO not allow. HO only accept extra documents when their require.
By the way, for my experience with talk with lots of application delay friends. HOLD because not meet finical requirement (maybe HO use different method to calculate), NOT STRAIGHT FORWARD because HO doubt your relationship or something else.
IMPORTANT, application maybe refuse even after 6 months waiting. 2 of my friends apply in February, get hold in March, then start of Sep get refuse.
Finger cross, hope everyone get the visa! I hate people use marry to cheat immigration, this is why so many doubt happen on authentic relationship guys.

yeah, it is, when my fiance change job, I called customer service told them, their say it should be fine, if their need more documents will contract me.
And for my case, we provide 1 year paylists and bank statement, all authentic documents, so it is doesnt matter he change job.
anyway, lucky is very important, if HO feel u case not striaghtforwad, although u submit extra documents, still need waiting long. this is very sad.

I was wondering after escalation, and you get a response telling you something like that your case has been passed on to the relavant department and someone will contact you. Any one got that response, after how long you have to wait until you hear something? I hear that it takes 15 days....my 24 weeks completed and still waiting

Hi M2sam,

Personally, I think the whole case of escalation is them buying more time without sounding inefficient. I've escalated my case twice and both times, I was told that my case was being forwarded to the relevant department but i was also told to call back if I hadn't heard anything by the end of the 15 working days. So there's really no guarantee that we will receive news in the said time unfortunately

This is so sad, we can only wait. I heard that contating them is only going to make things look bad, continuing emails and calls will raise eyebrows and in response they take more time. Keep quiet and just wait, that's what they want to you to do essentially. I won't be surprised if the ECO can track all our emails and calls.

Hi

Hi everyone,

I got this email yesterday:

"Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application remains under consideration.

Does this mean we'll get a decision in a few days as mentioned or is this another generic email template they send?

Any advice would be helpful.

Thank you

[Mehmoods87]

Hi Christ-Believer

I also received the same email yesterday.

I'm not sure what's happening but let's just pray they do start deciding our applications soon

[Sydvir]

Hi Christ-Believer

I also received the same email yesterday.

I'm not sure what's happening but let's just pray they do start deciding our applications soon

Hi guys
Did u received that email after you contacted them or suddenly you got the email from them?

[Mehmoods87]

Hi Sydvir

Yes I contacted them on Wednesday to find out what was happening and they said they will escalate it.

And this is the response I got?!

[Sydvir]

Hi
Did u received that email once you contacted them?
Or they suddenly they sent it to you?

[Sydvir]

Hi Sydvir

Yes I contacted them on Wednesday to find out what was happening and they said they will escalate it.

And this is the response I got?!

Ok
I guess they have started working on your application.
And have you got call from HO before asking about your job?

[Mehmoods87]

Hi Sydvir

Yes I received a call back in Feb about my second job. The call lasted 10-15 mins

Then next month March I received a not straightforward & Hold email

I have contacted them several times.. All they said was because the application is on hold there's nothing they can do until the hold remains.

Now the hold is lifted and I contacted them recently. This is the most recent email they sent me

Looks like they have finally started looking into hold applications

Still no timescale but let's just hope we receive some news soon.

Im not going to bother contacting them now.. Will just wait for them to contact me.

[Ace87]

HI
we got similer email on saturday 7 pm after escalation on 1st september , i think they just changed standard template ,

[M2sam]

I am going to meet my wife in Pak, I have not seen her for 7 months. Do you think it is ok to go if my case is still under consideration? By the way it has been over the 6 months of their standard time

Don't think it matters. They've sent your supporting documents back, so all they need to make a decision is with them. 3 months separated from my wife presently. Missed our wedding anniversary in August, and her birthday is coming up. Nothing to do but to be patient.
