Hi
Mine was local time (srilanka)

[Ish21]

Iv got a feeling their going in the time they sent the email order the ones that got it earlier have got their decisions made.. the people who got it later e.g. Me 6:50pm will maybe be more towards ending of october insha'allah just have to keep praying.

I don't think this carries any significance. They sent this email to all emails in one go or a bunch at a time from thier database, it is impossible for the server to send emails at one go, it sends them one by one, so those minute differences explains that. Apologies for bursting you bubble.

May I ask is there a secret code behind this?

Dont think so, just gives us a false sense of hope!.....but i really hope there is some correlation to this!

For those of you that have had a 'not straightforward email', do you always get called, or your employer get called. I mean, is there anyone who has had the email and not been contacted in any way and received a decision. I'm just really nervous about them calling me! I have nothing to hide, and of course everything is legit, but I'm an anxious person so I'm kind of worried.

Also, if you've had this email, how long after do people tend to get a decision?

There are members who got their visas/decisions after getting the case not straightforward email. But nobody can tell you how long after the email it will take.

Them calling you or your employer depends on why your case is not straightforward from their point of view as their could be many reasons as much as I have seen

1. Missing IHS for child.
2. Doubts about job/financial circumstances
3. Missing/incorrect English Language evidence
4. Sometimes they even ask for some documents which were already submitted

If you still haven't got the reason for case not straightforward try chasing them through call or email or by your mp to find out.

What was the decision for your sister's spouse ??

My sisters' husbands visa was granted. Alhamdullilah and will be coming next week!

I have tried phoning up and they won't give me a reason, they just say I now have to wait. I don't think it's fair they don't give a reason for it not being straightforward. I have everything they would need and had it checked from 2 Solicitors who submitted everything for me. Obviously if they need to verify things that's fine, but at least tell me what you are doing!!

I applied on 22/6
I didnt recieve any email cuz my husband wrote my email incorrectly in the application form.
But i correceted it later by phone.

My email address was also incorrect on the online application form....but I corrected it in the print out form that I sent with the documents to Sheffield. I hope that's sufficent but I haven't received any emails from them but it is early days. How soon did u ring them to correct your email address??

I called them after 60 days of biometrics precisely on the 14th of September. I didnt notice that we gave a wrong email early .
Really afraid that its not corrected and that they are sending emails to the incorrect email about my case.

To AISHA89
If you want to double check your email is correct on their system give UKVI a call, quote you CASEID No. and request them to read out what email they have got on file. If it's incorrect you can state your new email to them and they will update the system. Any emails that are missed they can let you know of any updates you have missed out on. Been through it myself

Mine at 18:51 so I been waiting for 95 working days that's 133 days so far I did not contact or email them yet.. last email I got was 31st October.. applied standard.. this getting harder and harder..

Also anyone applied from Colombo Sri Lanka when and how long you been waiting?

We recieved our email 25th September, at 18:45 (UK time).
I wouldn't read too much into it. It's a generic email that is sent out at once, to all recipients. It just depends on your email server and how quick it is to receive and send the email to your account.
