Hi ish21
Your answer gave me quiet relief for a moment. Bcz I was really worried about that email..
And sad news is my friend who applied in may 23rd (standard) got her visa today.. it's really frustrating
Its not fair how the HO works on cases

It is reallt frustrating many people who applied in may got their visas its frustrating to see bcuz we applied in the same month but bcuz of one email its being delayed which i dont know why. Another thing i personally think when we get the emails from HO about on case not straightforward yu shudnt mention it on the call or email bcuz sometimes they are not aware of things that what i did i didnt mention that i got any email from HO so thankfully they esclated my case and got a call from HO about employment, i think if yu tell them then they update it on their side and when yu call or email again its the same thing they say.

[Sydvir]

Ish21
Yes thts true
Even I didn't mention about it when I called them. I think it's time to get a help from local mp..
bcz I thought I will get visa soon after the call from HO.. but it has been more than 3 weeks

Hi Raj - Thats really good news. I hope they have not picked the above Nov application randomly? I hope and pray all of us cross the river and reach the bank safe.

@Sunni - As you applied in last november, In this case, its worth to check your application status.Mail them or try to quickly call them and see any luck.

[Geet1328]

Ive been emailing them to check my visa status but it's being 2/3 times they are not replying at all ... is it ok to mail them again and again or should I wait more

[MrClientServer]

Hello guys ,the online tracker showed my hubby's application was decided on the 7th ,we received an email to collect passport today , he collected the passport but there was no decision in it and no letter ,part of the supporting documents that was supposed to be sent to me on my uk address was given to my husband .The passport is blank ,there is no decision on visa or refusal .
There is no letter to say anything.Im lost ,what can we do now .please help .

Oh dear! This is new bouncer from HO. Another fairy tail twist. Jesus never ever expected this kind of horrific result. An application without decision and not even a single information why no decision. Disaster and HO taken to new level of madness. Lets imagine people who waiting from 9 to 10 months and if they get same result(no decision) ..OHH MY GOD no no....
Somehow we need to take this effectively and report to PM(Therisa May) office. Else the govt will ruin settlement applications like this...

[Mehmoods87]

Raj86

Hey Raj, that's great news. Looks like they've started the process of hold applications:)

Matter of time until we receive news on ours:)

Stay Positive

Hi All,

I have an update.

Please see previous threads to get the full history to my application. Quick recap is as follows:
VAC: Tirana, Albania
Biometric date: 13/04/17
Priority: Yes
Supreme court ruling letter: Yes - dated 27/04/17
Recieved call from HO: No

At the start I was communicating with UKVI by email and phone. As we know they do not know specifics case by case as they are only a third party operator. Eventually I managed to deal with the Visa Section where my application was being dealt with in Warsaw, Poland. Today they sent me the following email:

"Dear applicant,

Thank you for your e-mail. Please be advised that the hold on your application has been now raised. Please expect our decision shortly.

Kind regards,
Visa Section
British Embassy Warsaw"

As soon as I have any immediate further update I will let you know.

FINALLY THERE MAY BE LIGHT AT THE END OF THE TUNNEL
