I had submitted 12 but 3 had no transaction because I was away on holiday to Pakistan

I plan to apply again in April to complete another financial year so I have 12 fresh statements .. I will still submit last years too with all hmrc and tax letters so they have no reason or doubt
InshaAllah

For the people who have or are going to apply as self employed

Do we HAVE to submit both, personal and business bank statements ?? What if u use ur business acc as ur personal ? Becauae I only use my business acc for everything .. I don't have a personal acc which I use for anything so can it just be 12 months business acc statements ?

I think business account 12 months statement will be enough I personally did personal account too but from what I know business account should be fine. I would add in a cover letter to make it clear why you don't have a personal account

Dear XXXXXXX,

Thank you for contacting the UK Visas and Immigration International Enquiry
Service.

We understand that you would like to know about the current status of your
visa application. I have tracked the status (XXXXXXXXXXXX and date of birth
XXXXXXXX) and found that there are no current updates. This could be
because your application was submitted recently or the details that you
have provided above are incorrect.

If it is the former you may contact us at a later stage once our records
have been updated. We will be happy to give you the current status of your
application. If the information provided is incorrect then please provide
the 9-digit GWF number and the date of birth of the applicant.

Alternatively, once the process has been completed and a decision has been
made the visa application centre will be in contact as per process.

Though we try our best to complete the visa application process in 15
working days, each application is subject to an individual assessment and
processing times may vary, hence applicants are requested to be patient and
wait for the processing to be completed. You can check how long you'll have
to wait for a decision on your visa application in your country (if you
applied from outside the UK) by entering your details at the following
link: :
https://www.gov.uk/government/organisat ... on/about/a
bout-our-services . Please note that the actual processing times may vary
depending on a range of factors.

We have service level standards for processing UK visa applications. We
will process 90% of non-settlement applications within 3 weeks, 98% within
6 weeks and 100% within 12 weeks of the application (biometric taken) date;
and 95% of settlement applications within 12 weeks of the biometric taken
date and 100% within 24 weeks of the application (biometric taken) date.
Please note that we define 1 week as 5 working days.

We strongly recommend not to book prepaid travel and accommodation before
receiving the visa.

For any further details, or should you need to contact us again please
refer to our website at https://ukvi-international.faq-help.com/, select
appropriate country, click next and then select 'E-Mail form' and complete
as instructed. We will aim to come back to you within 1 day.

Kind regards,
XXXXXXXXX

I have the similar problem. I have checked my detail twice and made sure it's correct but still I have got the response that they can't find any update in the system. Odd!

@nm.123 I got the same email a while ago, I think they are just automated responses because half of the time their emails don't make any sense, email them again asking for an update see what they reply, I always email them although most of them time they say it's in process. I'm afraid there's no other email only this one.

Hi,

The form you filled have a GWF number, open your form which you filled online and you'll get the number if you don't have a printed copy of your form handy otherwise your printed copy also have GWF number.

Hope this helps.

Are you saying the package was opened when your husband got documents back? As far as I know it should be sealed and only application should open it and by no means VAC should be able to tell if it is approved or rejected.

This is why when my wife will go to get her papers. I'll make her record the whole event on her phone. If they do mess her about, I'll take the matter to court.

No reason what so ever for Gerry's to know the outcome of the visa. They are just there to send documents back and forth.

@Ket1 it's disgusting the way they treated us, it's not as if they are doing anything for free we have paid for it, my husband paid for the premium lounge service 3,000rs to get message notifications etc, till this date he only ever got One message right at the beginning of our case, it has been 9 months and still nothing, I don't understand why they taking forever after charging us so much and ur right our nation needs to stand that's why I pray Imran khan wins in politics coz everyone else are money grabbing scheming people.

In'Shaa'Allah soon we will all get our decisions, good luck sis on submitting ur application.
