Settlement visa

Post by Geo2018 » Mon Jul 02, 2018 8:36 pm

Online application: 15.03.2018
Non priority
Biometrics done 19. 03.2018
Email from Sheffield:application received in Sheffield 4.04.2018
Phoned to UkVi for information on 8.06.2018and told decision is not made but call us again on Monday 11.06.2018
My solicitor e-mailed them on 12.06.2018 and received in 30 minutes after email. As decision is made on 11.06.2018 and wait for later info emails. After 10working days I called again to ask why is so delay to send our passport and documents.
They escalate case 22.06.2018 and told to wate up to 15 working days. 29.06.2018 solicitor send second email to ask information and received answer : ,,Thank you for contacting UK Visas and Immigration International Contact Centre.
With regards to your enquiry, your application is currently under review, you will be contacted if any extra information is needed.
Your patience is highly appreciated.
Please note that the onus is upon individual customers to ensure that they satisfy the requirements set out in the guidance material. The guidance material accompanies each and every application form. UK Visa and Immigration is not able to give, indicate or advise upon the outcome of any such application prior to it being given full and careful consideration." Then we replay and send copy of previous email where was written as decision is made and asked to confirm which one is correct. No answer received yet. AND
Today 2.06.2018 we received email from VISAINFO.SHEFO@fco.gov.uk

A decision was made on your application on 02 July 2018 and you will be contacted shortly regarding the return of your documents.
If you have any further enquiries, please visit our website at www.GOV.UK
few hours later received second email
,,Thank you for contacting UK Visas and Immigration International Contact Centre.
With regards to your enquiry about the status of your application, I can confirm that your application is being considered and is currently awaiting a decision.
If it has been over 15 working days for non- settlement applications or 60 working days for settlement applications, please provide the following details:
Full Name
Date of Birth
GWF number
IHS number
Passport number
Place of submission
Type of Visa applied for
Date of biometrics
Nationality
E-mail address used on application:
We strongly recommend that you do not buy a non-refundable, non-flexible ticket to the UK, until your visa application has been approved and you have received your documents."🤔
But I think second email is scam and hope email is from Sheffield is true.
