Why do you need to escalate your case?

Hi Amber,

I don't need too but I am just curious on how to do this.

Thanks,

Hi All,

I kept my passport while applying for spouse visa. I got an email saying my application has been processed and asking me to submit my visa. Will they only accept/reject after getting the passport? I am assuming, they would have highlighted any problems by now, right?

Please help!

Thanks,
Fareedh

There is no way you will get hint of what the decision is. Anyone who tells otherwise should be taken with a pinch of salt; You won't know for definite till you get your passport back. Wishing you a positive outcome I. E. Successful application and Visa granted.

Thank you for your response. More of hoping that nothing else is wrong apart from wanting to the passport approve the visa.

Hi,

Has anyone been in a situation where they kept the passport when applying for visa. IF so, how long did they take to give a decision after submitting the passport?

I got it submitted today to VAC. Does it state anywhere about when we will receive further email about a decision?

Thanks,

Hi all,

I am just wondering if someone can help. I submitted my bio metrics on the 24th of December 2019 and I got an email about a month back to submit my passport as the application has been assessed but I still have not got a response. I did call them a couple of days back and they said the decision has been made but the application is being reviewed by someone else.

Is this part of the normal process? or is this something I need to worry about? It's honestly irritating that they are taking so long despite making the decision already.

Thanks,
Fareedh

There is nothing to worry about. Anxiety makes you second guess any communication from the Home Office. Wait for your decision and hopefully it's positive.

Thank you! Hope for the positive news too

I know how your heart sinks when you receive news about your application It's like me when I see a letter from the DVLA.

But most often than not, these notifications are automatic as your application is being processed. They have no significance. They are not positive, they are not negative. You can see them as neutral. You sent an application and it's in progress.

Yeah I get that. I am more worried now because they I had to request the passport back as the tourist visa is about to expire and they were like there is a chance of my application being cancelled because of this.

Hi,

A month back we received an email asking to submit the passport back in as the application has been assessed. But we had to get the passport back to extend the visa. Is it worth submitting the passport back again or should we wait for another email asking to submit the passport back in?

We are at the end of out timelines and the application has been escalated which means we might hear something in the next week or so.

Thanks,
