I have ó. I applied with my daughter on the 12th of October and my passport was returned on 1st of November with visa but they did not send my daughter's passport. I called them to escalate the process and was told a decision has been made already. I've called them about 5 times and also sent a mail. Same response " decision has been made, your passport will be available soon"


I'm so stressed out. My husband has been gone for almost two months now and we miss him.

see the reply i got from them, after telling me that i should contact them after 15 working days

Hello coopfortune
Maybe you should try calling them through a paid call to speak with their customer care.
Usually when you send a first paid mail, you shouldn't have to pay again for further enquiries.

Calm down, call directly if you can.
Also, did you reply the exact mail that sent the initial “escalation message”?
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Lincolnint: 7:47am On Nov 17, 2021
I saw your last message, the new 15 days ended yesterday, are they trying to tell u to wait another 15 days, will they ever decide on people who applied standard Sept, Oct and Nov.

I was at the Bank to pay my admission Deposit of 4000 pounds with at UBA with FORM A.
They Told me they can not Process the payment with a Conditional offer. Meanwhile the only condition on the offer is the Financial Condition.
So, I was wondering if this is correct/true of should i approach another Bank?

Hello house must a person be an account holder with UBA before being able to make international transactions with FORM A?

Good morning to us,
Please, after addressing my previous visa refusal in my cover letter, should I still add copy of the refusal letter to documents to be submitted to support my application? Should I also upload the refusal letter?
Please advise me

The ECO doesn’t care about your balance, what matters is the inflow and outflow of cash running in your account and make sure it correlate with the amount you stated as your income. Yes 2-3m is okay and also make sure the amount budgeted for the trip is not more than 2-3 times your disposable income.

I don’t think it is necessary because they already have all your information on their system but if you wish to.

I'm in trouble oooo as I doubt I will see a decision made anytime soon. I am so nervous that I will spend Christmas again this year without my family who are in the UK. I sent a paid email today to UKVI enquiring about my application and I got the following response:

Dear XXXXXXX,

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

With regards to your enquiry about the status of your application, I can confirm that your application is being considered and is currently awaiting a decision.

Because 15 working days have passed I am escalating your case to the decision makers to let them know to get into contact with you regarding the decision

Thank you for your query from the information you have provided, we have escalated your case to the relevant department on 11-11-2021 and you should be contacted within 15 working days. Please wait until the 15 working days have passed before contacting the service again as we are unable to do anything further before this time.

We strongly recommend that you do not buy a non-refundable, non-flexible ticket to the UK, until your visa application has been approved and you have received your documents.

Regards,

Zain​​

Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Mosesemmy(m): 10:17am On Nov 17, 2021
Good morning,
I went to fill form A with union bank since on 11-11-2021, the have failed to process it for me.

Which bank processes payment of Form A fast.
Re: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 4 by Vicki2020: 10:22am On Nov 17, 2021
Please guyz does the eco actually confirm your account balance or is it just the bank statement they confirm if it original. I am really scared. I was told on the 14th of October that a decision has been made on my application and I called every day of the week throughout October and was told decision has been made just for me to go to the embassy yesterday and I was told a decision has not been made again that there system was experiencing an error throughout October. And me na after I was told decision has been made I removed money from The account started spending on our rent in the UK as I am going to meet my husband who went on the 25th of September and I applied priority student dependent.
The worst is they told me there was a mistake in the application transfer that why my decision process is been delayed they are sorry for the backlog they are experiencing
That they will refund my priority fee and get back to me after 15working days

Since the 19th of October that a decision was made, almost a month later no passport!
33 working days and counting. It is well, I believe it will be out very soon.

Please House,
How can I send another paid mail with this link
https://www.gov.uk/contact-ukvi-inside-outside-uk
without paying again after I’ve made a payment before, because it’s asking for my card details again.

I received it yesterday afternoon. It was from the paid calls to their helpline, I followed up with them early hours on Tuesday as it was 15 working days after the first escalation. I prefer the calls as there's a more human touch to it even though they don't give much away, it's still better than those generic emails.
