My wife submitted 10 days back, still havent heard anything. I have read on some other places that people are experiencing too much wait, even those who submitted before us havent got their passports back. I dont know what is wrong with UKVI, they have some issue, only with june applicants 🙄

Really!! 😥😥 I also submitted in June, received our response 2 days ago. It’s a joke! Can’t believe how slow and delayed they are. In shaa Allah we will get our passports back quickly, they’ve made us wait long enough already.

Have you contacted them? I don’t think it should take that long.

Finally good to hear your issue has been resolved, hasnt ukvi taken decision on your application yet?if not then why they were asking for the passports beforehand?
Hello People gather around,
Finally email received from VFS for collection of wife's application and for children applications have to wait couple of days more as per communication from my MP with Home Office. There was an ongoing issue with my family passports regarding submission.
Hello people gather around again,
Finally, Al Hamdo Lillah my wife and children visas granted and passports collected today from Lahore vfs.
Biometric appointment mid July. My MP has supported me a lot to sort out my family passports issue
Hope all of you are going to have same news soon

Has anyone who applied in the UK in June gotten a response yet? We applied in June, submitted Biometric in July and still haven't heard anything. It's been 187 working days since we visited the biometric centre, and I can't find anyway to get an answer/information. We're meant to be going away next month, but now that looks unlikely :cry:

Hi All,

I've been following this thread with interest... i'm pleased some of you are now starting to receive decisions!
My wife submitted her biometrics on the 10th July in Russia & also hasn't received a decision yet, or any meaningful communications for that matter. We have escalated it twice with UKVI (although it turned out the first never actually went to the immigration officer), and now with my MP. Unfortunately it took 3 weeks of chasing my MP's office to get a response from them, then when they escalated it with the Home Office all they received back was the same old "Unfortunately processing of your application has not been straightforward forward....." which we had already received when we escalated it with UKVI ourselves.
My MP has said to contact him again if no decision has been received by mid December, but understandably we're disappointed he hasn't been able to do any more now.

Obviouly we're extremely frustrated with the waiting at this point, as I'm sure all of you are. UKVI really need to get their act together! Hopefully we'll all hear something soon!

So, today, after a week of submitting my passport after being told to by Sheffield team, I received an email from the Sheffield escalations saying that the case is still under active consideration.

I am very confused because I submitted my passport last week as they told me to? Has this happened to anyone else?

Same, I have escalated my case 4 times now but still the same replies from them. I have now decided to get my MP involved. I emailed him a few days ago but he hasn't replied to me yet. I feel so helpless and frustrated! Have you gone past the 120 working days? Although the HO say that they decide 100% of applications within 6 months, I'm actually doubting this and worried that they may take longer :(
