Hi Kumar & All,
I have received similar mails.

Ok to summarise I received 2 emails from HO recently.

First mail received on: 25 September 2017 : We aim to make a decision on your application before 31 October. (UK Decision Making centre)

Second mail received on : 04 October 2017 : Your application is not straight forward and we will continue to work. (UKVI Contact Centre Service)

But the second mail came from different dept of sheffield HO. recently my lawyer attempted to contact them after i have received first mail. becoz of that they sent second mail ?

Really frustrating and i am really pissed off now. i know people received first mail . Anyone received similar emails ?
I Applied in mid of Dec 2016 and still now no result.
Are these human beings ? check this link
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-41096675

Someone can throw light how to contact UK human rights ?

I applied beginning september biometrics on 6th posted documents on 11th recieved sheffield on 12th received documents back on 2th october i then emailed UKVI this is the reply i got

Thank you for contacting UK Visas and Immigration International Contact Centre.

Thank you for providing those details, as requested. I have looked into your application and the status is still awaiting a decision. The Settlement Visa or Spouse Visa does have the longest amount of time to process in regard to visa processing times. This standard time is 60 working days.

The Priority service aims to have the application processed within 15 working days, however this is no guarantee you will receive a decision within this time. Upon the 19th October your case can be escalated as it will have reached 30 working days, this can be done because the application is within the priority service.

Please note that the onus is upon individual customers to ensure that they satisfy the requirements set out in the guidance material. The guidance material accompanies each and every application form. UK Visa and Immigration is not able to give, indicate or advise upon the outcome of any such application prior to it being given full and careful consideration.

I sponsored my husband he did his biometrics on the 19th april it will soon be 6 months.
I emailed home office to ask my husbands visa status and they said his case is now closed decision has been made 🙏🏽
The visa application will contact him when the documents will be ready for collection.
Does anyone know how long it takes is it usually within 10 days ?

I pray everyone gets reunited with they're spouses and loved ones just keep faith And be strong it's the hardest time we all been through🙏🏽

After 31st october those waiting over 120 working days i would say turn up on Mr Kingsley Magee doorstep and demand answers. He is the manager at ukvi sheffield centre. He has been ruining our lives. Post your complaints through his letter box. Waiting nearly a year for some. Phoning ukvi has been a waste, MPs can't do anything, ombudsmans take too long to do anything, we need to take new steps.
