I applied for the Tier 2 General Visa in Istanbul on the 7th of August using the Priority service. The home office received my documents on the 8th of August 2018. Until now I have not heard anything from them. I contacted the UKVI and they said that the decision has already been made and now TlsContact in Istanbul (application center) will contact me regarding the passport collection but I have not heard anything. I went to the application center but they said it is not ready yet. Any idea about what I should do or any experience with this amount of waiting time?

From the forum here seems that quite a lot of applicants have priority service but not "priority" at all.... Not much you can do unfortunately.

I was notified from the collection ponit of my biometrics card delivery that they have received my card, but I am still waiting for my visa !!! What does that mean? Does it mean that here we have some lazy a*s*s at the visa center?!

What does it mean that the Biometrics card has arrived in the UK, ready to be collected, but I have not received my passport and visa yet??

I received the following email from Sheffield after asking UKVI that why I haven't received my passport after 25 working days:
"Thank you for your enquiry and please accept my apology for the delay in responding. As you have told us in your email that you are aware that a decision has been made however there has been no response from our side. I would like to confirm you will be contacted shortly from the Visa Application Centre (VAC) when your passport/ supporting documents are ready to be collected. We appreciate your patience and understanding"
Anyone has received something like this before? How many days you all think it might take until they give my passport back?

Hi, I got a similar mail from Sheffield on September 6th and was very excited about it for a few days. But I have not received the passport yet. We are pretty much on the same boat I think.

Hi, I just got a message now that my passport has been despatched. I don't know what the decision is, but it is finally getting to me.
