Re: Delay in Tier2 General(Restricted) visa issuance
Post by QBF001 » Thu May 03, 2018 2:12 pm
Hello everyone,
I am posting my experience for every one's benefit.
I applied for Tier 2 visa Shortage occupation 5 years for myself and my 05 year old daughter. My wife is already in the UK and has joined her job there on the 01/04/2018.
My work start date is 01/05/2018. My visa saga is as below
Premium lounge,Priority visa, walk in appointment
Date of online submission of visa 21/04/2018
Date of Biometrics and visa submission 23/04/2018
Date on visa approval letter 25/04/2018
Called VFS on the 01/05/2018...informed that the passports have not been dispatched yet.
Called UKVI helpline on 02/05/2018...informed that a decision has been made on my visa but not on my daughters visa.
Received my passport but not my daughters on the 03/05/2018.
No emails or SMS intimation from VFS till now.
Called UKVI again today 03/05/2018 ...my daughters visa application is still pending. I was advised to request escalation of my daughters visa application by 14th of May if I have not got it till then.
Emailed UKVI over the next few days explaining as politely and professionally as possible my predicament of being the sole care giver and non receipt of my daughters visa and passport.
Was informed yesterday that decision was taken on the 08/05/2018..
Got my daughters passport..with Visa

My tip to everyone is to be polite and explain your rationale clearly to the UKVI by email or telephone if you are contacting them.
Best of luck to every one...I do wish everyone gets their visa.
Bye
