Your visa application @ Abu Dhabi (Ref:1234567)

[saeedusman]

I have applied for my brother and his family as family visitor visa, got a call from UKBA about the confirmation of the sponsor. After that we got the email "Your application has been issued and will shortly be returned to our commercial partner". It says issued, does this mean visa has been granted? As i know some users got an email where it says Resolved, is it same as issued

Wao that's something new again. Has not listened anything like this before.
Will be interested to see the output. Keep us updates please.
Thanks

I got the exact same email this morning...applied for 5-year visa for my father on 13th June with priority visa option...does anyone else know what it means if the email says "visa application has been issued"? In the past it used to be "your visa has been issued"; it then changed to "your visa application has been resolved". My guess is that they have recently changed their terminology yet again and that the visa has been granted...but let's see...you never know with these things

That look like some good sign, keep praying
Let us know the outcome.

You need to give it few days after 21, coz now case worker will be in process to decide your case and you should receive email by Monday. But if you don't receive any email, just the call for collection from Gerry's then you will have slim chances.

Best of luck.

Also guys; we have noticed that that email went to junk mail.

So please check your spam or junk folder as well.

Thank you

@SherPo and IrfanTahir
Sorry, need some more info. Wanan figure out that why I have just received call for one application and not the other. So two questions: (1) Did you apply for General Visit or Family Visit? (2) Is the sponsor providing accomodation only, or accomodation plus maintenance?
Many thanks.

[SharePo]

I have applied for family visitor visa for my brother and his family. I am providing the accommodation and also some maintenance expenses like food.

I have clearly mentioned in my invitation letter that I will be paying for accommodation and som expenses.

But when entry clearance office called me, he again asked me will you be paying for everything for them in London.

So just be clear in your answer, be specific as well.

[zunaira]

Thanks for confirming this.

Hi guys,

Just wanted to check about what time you guys are receiving calls from ECO?

Normally we provide landline and mobile both from sponsor side, so will they be calling mobile? I'm worried in case they call landline and I'm not at home miss the call.

Thanks

[zunaira]

I didn't give any landline number in the application. Got on my mobile. time was around 12 in the afternoon. and it was from a blocked number.

[SharePo]

He called me around 10:30am uk time. And I did give me office landline number but he still called me on my mobile, luckily I was working from home that day. I don't know if I tried to call me at office number first and then mobile as we need
To logged on to the office mobile, but I was not as I was at home.

Thanks for updating about ECO calling times.

My parents submitting case today from Lahore, hoping for favourable response soon. Kindly remember in your prayers.

Anyone with email "ISSUED" has any updates about the decision?

Kind regards,

Hi

My parents submitted case yesterday from Lahore and got acknowledgment and receipt paper with just GWF number on that which is same as was on the forms when applied online.
There is no LHE number which we used to have for tracking.

Just wanted to check how I can track it if I can, also how come there is no LHR number?

Even no email or sms that application been submitted and sent to OC or somewhere for processing.

[zunaira]

My parents submitted last week and the same happened. Well actually they forgot to subscribe for sms notifications. So, may be that's why they didn't receive any email confirming the receipt or something.
For tracking, they no longer have the online tracking system. The alternative is to send an enguiry using this link https://ukvi-international.faq-help.com/ . They respond in a day or 2. so not bad. You can also call at the number, which appears once you select the country of application. But they charge for that. it says 1.37 GBP per minute. But i think they charge more. I ended up wasting 6 or 7 pounds. So, I would suggest online enquiry is better since its free.
