Overturned uk visit visa-please help

Post by BrianGitonga » Wed Aug 07, 2019 9:48 pm

Hello all,
I applied for a UK visit visa last month which i got a refusal and the next day i got an email as below:
Further to the decision by an Entry Clearance Manager to overturn your refusal, we request that you submit your passport for the application to be reconsidered.
Please take a copy of this email and your passport to the visa application centre. Please respond to this email to indicate when you will be able to return your passport to the visa application centre to enable us to update our records.

Does this mean that they will issue me with the visa or they will have a look at the application once again?
How long do i have to wait to get my passport back?

Overturning a refusal means, they have changed the previous decision and they will now issue you the visa.

So congratulations

Congratulations!

It's not common that they issue a refusal then by themselves decide to change their mind :) It was a lucky day for you, enjoy!
