Been a while since I've jumped in on this thread.

I see that a few of you have finally left us, congrats to everyone that has heard good news. :D

Just wondering out of all of the applicants that received an email stating that they'd hear by 31 October, how many of you actually heard back? We got an email the day before (the c**ts) stating that we're not actually going to find out now and that we still have to wait - just wondered if anyone got that too. :?

231 days since Biometrics and counting... (Biometrics were completed 21 March 2017)

Hoping that some of us still waiting will have some good fortune soon. :roll:

Neither moderators nor members will be able to tell you when (and whether) your wife will get her visa.

Refused on basis of not meeting financial requirement and not submitting hmrc 15-16 document.
We make a lot more than what's required.

Have been asked to appeal in 28 days.

How much time does it take for one to get a revert post appeal?

Is it worth to reapply or appeal?

It will be kind of you if you could advise.

Thank you.

Thanks for the reply Kawal. We are thinking of reapplying given that appeal to decision takes 15 weeks to 6 months for family settlement visa.

Did you get an acknowledgement for your appeal and did they mention a timeline?

Do revert. I hope you get your appeal and decision soon.

Hi please someone help what I can do my wife call IVUK yesterday this morning they send email from Sheffield said your email address not correct !!!

Thank you for your enquiry.

Please note that owing to the requirements of the UK Data Protection Act 1998, we cannot disclose any information regarding an application to a third party, including the UK sponsor, without prior consent from the applicant concerned.

The email address ............@gmail.com is not the one used when the application was made and it does not appear on the visa application form so we are unable to provide any information.

Where the email address you have used to contact us belongs to anyone other than the applicant, we are unable to provide any information without a signed letter of consent from the applicant, which can be scanned and emailed to visasheffield@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk.

Hi raja824
You are right and it does make sense. The email signature is also different VISAINFO.SHEFO@fco.gov.uk
This is from contact center and decision making center have completely different signature. But HO have to understand that we have only one way to contact them .
And they are useless.
Thank you again
Are u sure??
Cuz i put in a wrong email on my application form and later corrected it when i found out by calling the contact center.
I was afraid that it wasnt enough and that sheffield will keep sending me emails on the wrong email address regarding missing documents or something like that but the guy that answered my call reassured me that all emails from sheffield go through them ( contact center) first and then they send them to us.
[/quote

Hi today VISAINFO.SHEFO@fco.gov.uk send me email said the email address ......@gmail.com is not the one used when the application was made and it does not appear on the visa application form so we are unable to provide any information.
This my email address I don't understand they send me email in same address said this
I apply 18 April
Thank you for your help
