Hello, did you have another interview? I received the not straightforward email again on 22nd September as well but had another on Sunday 24th September.
I hope to receive to receive my pick up email soon as well.
did they tell you why there're taking so long?, that's not normal for a studen visa case. i think you should call them and asksunnyy2017 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 1:39 amApplied for T4 visa mid August. Till date, I have yet to receive a decision from them although I have paid for priority service. My university last addmission was yesterday and I feel like I have been screwed by UKVI.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Seems like priority service mid-Aug applicants are being ignored. All I received was an email on 15th Aug that my application was under consideration by an ECO. And that was it. Neither delay nor non-straightforward emails, just a bloody deafening silence. I escalated on 7th September, and still zero correspondence. I was told by UKVI (when I phoned) that I will definitely receive some sort of reply within 15 working days of escalation. We're cutting thin onto day 13.sunnyy2017 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 1:39 amApplied for T4 visa mid August.

Same thing with me, I applied august 23 and also paid for priority service, till now no response from them not even delay email or something. Like it's really depressing waiting this long.sunnyy2017 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 1:39 amApplied for T4 visa mid August.

It's standard. Although I do have a backup plan as my university will let me join in the January stream but I don't even know what to do in this 3-4 months
@holu did you receive expected delay email on 24th?rakhshanda hameed wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 5:44 amI hope to receive to receive my pick up email soon as well.
I'm applying from NZ. Did you get any emails from UKVI or anyone? I feel they are slower for the Oceanic applicants. Anyone else you know applying?sunnyy2017 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 1:39 amApplied for T4 visa mid August.

congratulations, really glad to hear that, did you contact UKVI in the whole process? because it's my 12th day as well and i didn't contact anyone yet, hopefully i get a response sooniSYNDICATE wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 6:16 amJust went to to visa office at 9:00am and am relieved to say that my visa has been approved. I got an email on 22nd that my visa will be late and on the letter it says that it's been approved on 23rd-Sept. weird that they would send an unnecessary email which caused such panic and stress
do let us know the outcome.rakhshanda hameed wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 11:30 amjust got the text in my inbox saying my processed visa application has been received,hopefully it's a good news, best of luck to everyone else as i can understand the the amount of effort and stress this whole process causes.
Wao! This is scary!!! I'm happy that you're still able to get an updated visa which should allow you to travel. I advise that you contact your school immediately so that they can issue a letter confirming that you will still be accepted on the program.slimayor123 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 12:50 pmHello guys

There is a lot of incompetence in d ukvi office. my school has resumed since Sept 11. My passport has been in d country (Nigeria) with visa on it since August 25. No call, no mail from Teleperfomance. I kept calling ukvi office and dey kept singing escalation song to my ear. Yesterday I went to Teleperfomance office to and my displeasure wen I was told it was not with Dem yet. Someone now advised me to go to British embassy to Lodge company. Wen I got dere ds morning. Was told to wait after complaining. I was dere for more Dan two hours. Later one woman came out a parcel. She called my name and started apologizing. The vignette visa on it has expired. So dey changed it to today date. I'm happy with mixed feeling. My story

I have written to UKVI, the response was they will escalate the case. I am not going to pay for their poor service. UKVI should refund us if they cannot deliver their promise. Got a feeling that they are desperate for monies. Their system and service were not like this few years ago.rakhshanda hameed wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 5:40 amdid they tell you why there're taking so long?, that's not normal for a studen visa case. i think you should call them and asksunnyy2017 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 26, 2017 1:39 amApplied for T4 visa mid August.
