I dont think they are issuing visitors visa. I had applied for my parents visa and they went for biometrics last week in Delhi, but they got email today that their visa is on hold due to India travel ban.
Please let me know in case you also received the same email.
Thanks
Did they get passport back ?shettys wrote: ↑Tue Apr 27, 2021 9:45 amHi All,
My parents received the same email that the visa processing is currently on hold as well because of the travel restrictions in place. They had mentioned 15th of june as the intended travel date on the application.
Hope the visa does not get rejected and they are allowed to amend their travel dates in the future when restrictions are eased.
Hi did you get your passport back ? They send mine back without refusal letter without visa.handadhruv wrote: ↑Mon Apr 26, 2021 10:36 pmHi ,
Yes, planned date of travel was 18th May.
Also in vfs India website they are mentioning that visit visas are in hold irrespective of date you intend to travel.
Not sure if due to date of travel I received that email.
Any idea, will they reject visa since it doesnt look like travel will be lifted in May? I hope so not since we can amend dates to later in June/ July.
Hi did you get any update?shettys wrote: ↑Fri Apr 23, 2021 9:46 amHi My parents made the application the same day India was added to the red list countries. They have stated that they would like to travel in the middle of June on their application. Wondering if there is any point of making the visa application or should they rather contact UKVI to cancel it? My father has applied for a 6 month visa and my mother has applied for a 2 year visa. Any advice will be appricated.
Dont know whats going on in uk embassy. I know more few people got passport back without visa and refusal letter. Can you tell me what was email about you got?handadhruv wrote: ↑Sun May 16, 2021 7:15 pmHi Gurpreet
We have not received any update or got the passports back yet.
Did you check with VFS /UKVI regarding this, since they should mention something for the visa? We paid for the application and they should tell us while Giving passports back.

Atleast they should inform the next steps, Did you try reaching out to them?

Its mean they assessed your application and made a decision on it but they they send you passport back its mean its refused and you will get refusal letter once Pakistan will be out from red list. If they keep the passport then its mean your visa has been issued but you need to wait .kufarooq1 wrote: ↑Thu May 20, 2021 8:27 amWe received this email on the day 14 after we applied for visit visa for my parents.
Still no update after since this email, a month has been passed.
Can anyone tell me what does the message really mean and has anyone received the same? The country (Pakistan) is still on the ban list and no sign of coming out anytime soon.
They write as below;
Your visit visa application has been assessed but we are not able to conclude it at this time due to the UK Government’s published ban on travel to the UK from certain countries due to COVID-19. A list of countries can be found by clicking the link below.
Once the ban is lifted we will conclude your application and you will be contacted by the Visa Application Centre to arrange collection or delivery.
If you require your passport before your application is concluded, please contact the Visa Application Centre who will be able to arrange for this to be released.
