where did u applied from?khozam wrote: ↑Fri Sep 15, 2017 8:49 pm@Iqra, My application date was 04 August and my visa case is decided today. It means your turn in coming up next.

They will instantly update you with the current status of your application.
@Sensei, I have also applied via Lahore on 04th August and my CAS has been used + UKVI has taken decision on my application yesterday so I am hopeful to get a call from FexEd to collect my passport in the coming week.
Is it the one "unfortunately your case is not straightforward so we're unable to..." email? Or which one you got?? Pls keep update here cos I got that too and HAVE NO IDEA cos tomorrow my course will startZed178 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2017 4:04 pmHi everyone, I have been following this thread for some time as well. it helped a lot!
Here's my timeline:
Applied for priority service from Istanbul, Turkey
Bios: 23rd August
Reached UKVI (got acknowledgment email): 24th August
my CAS has been used since beginning of September (not sure of exact date)
Haven't heard anything after that
My school finally agreed to email UKVI on Wednesday. Got THE email on friday saying "..I have made the ECO aware of the relevant travel date and asked them to make a decision as a priority.."
Today Sept 16th: got a non straightforward email. (Which might only act as an apology for the delay)
Here's my advice to everyone: when I saw my CAS has been "used" I thought they were about to make a decision or they had already done, I thought the delay was from the consulate in my area.
It seems they need a push to review cases, so if you have been waiting like this, I suggest letting your school contact them at least once. Otherwise it seems like our applications are getting lost in a pile somewhere.
Good luck everyone!

"Thank you for applying for a UK visa. Your visa application has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days (unless you have opted for the Priority Visa service), and settlement applications within 60 working days.
Unfortunately, the processing of your application has not been straightforward and we will be unable to decide your application within our customer service targets. We are continuing to work on your application and aim to make a decision as soon as possible."
I am not sure what will happen afterwards, I wasn't expecting to receive this after 3 weeks. It might mean they are just apologizing for being late and silent (someone on this thread mentioned some people got their decision 2 days after this email). It might also mean I have to wait for 15 more days or more.
My course has already started, and classes start this Monday. Let's wait and see!
Hope we all get our visa next week, I lost hope too tbh since tomorrow's the first day of the course. Even if the latest enrollment is on 2nd October, it feels terrible to skip any part of the programme. Please keep us update next week
Did ur University asked for GWF number wen u called dem or wat do dey requested from u to contact ukvi with?khozam wrote: ↑Sat Sep 16, 2017 8:55 pmWhich university you are going to?
Call UKVI but their case escalation is useless. Do anything but engage your university. Tell them that your course is starting and you have applied since many weeks. You have to pay tuition fees and manage plenty of pre-departure tasks here that need time. Means, use any logical reason to convince them for contacting UKVI.
BTW universities are mostly very polite and supportive to contact UKVI but I do not know about your university.

I am going to Northumbria and I've not received my Visa. I've done my biometric since July 18. The worst part is that my course has started on Sept 11. A week missed already.

Me too. Well mine starts tomorrow. The uni told me that my CAS has been used and I got an apology email from Sheffield for the delay and that they have informed the team to process is as soon as possible. So I hope I get a decision soon. Also don't worry they've pushed late enrolment date till the 9th of October because of the delay.

Now I'm done and hopeless to death... srsly if they want to refuse us just refuse rather than sending us the confusing and scary email like that. Why dont they even give us a gap of time to reapply even if we're refused?qxporya wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2017 10:00 amsame thing here. applied since august and nothing but that damn email.Chischis12 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 17, 2017 9:40 amPls share your timeline.

I have seen some people requesting tier 5 or visit visa who received "not straightforward" and got rejected a few days later.
also I rarely have seen anyone who received that email, getting back with any update on their visa status. they all just disappeared forever which I think is a sign of failure![]()
