We applied for spouse visa on 4th July. Biometric done of 16 July. Since then i have received few emails but no decision yet.
1st email says, the application has been assessed on 16 September and now we should submit passports within 21 days
2nd email says Biometric cards are being delayed on 28th September
The latest one received from the escalation team on 14th October says it has been handed over to the relevant team
SO CONFUSING TO BE HONEST. HIGHEST FEE BEING CHARGED BY UKVI AS COMPARED TO WHOLE OF THE EUROPE BUT POORLY MANAGED I MUST SAY
That's very confusing but I can relate as I've been told by the UKVI inquiries team that a decision has been made and then shortly after I received an email from Sheffield stating that they've received the visa application and it's under consideration. Both emails are the complete opposite! I am so worried now I don't know what to do. It feels like they are just sending random emails that don't make sense
I’d assume a decision has been made if the inquiries team has told you that and maybe the other email was just an automated one? InshaAllah it will be positive and you’re contacted by the VAC soon! It’s so exhausting having to chase this all up and it’s so unorganized:roll:
I hope so! InshaAllah I pray for a positive outcome for all of us. I agree... if only they could maintain a line of communication and keep us updated on the progress of our case in every aspect it would honestly be less stressful then.
NEW UPDATE........
THE ESCALATION TEAM HAS EMAILED ME TO SUBMIT PASSPORTS AT VAC SO APPLICATIONS CAN BE RESOLVED. I HAVE ALREADY TOLD THEM THAT OUR PASSPORTS ARE WITH VFS SINCE THE BIOMETRIC APPOINTMENT. NOW I HAVE EMAILED VFS TO UPDATE UKVI ABOUT OUR PASSPORTS AND LET'S WAIT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
A SIMILAR EMAIL AGAIN FROM SHEFFIELD OFFICE ON 14/09/2021 AND NOW TODAY 20/10/2021
HOW I CAN SATISFY UKVI THAT OUR PASSPORTS ARE ALREADY WITH VAC
