At this stage, i am well convinced that there is nothing like escalation, all the emails we get from ukvi for escalation are automated, because my last escalation time expired yesterday without any brp or collection mail and i did another paid mail today all they told me is they have escalated me again that i should wait for another 15 working days lol…

Mind you my school resumes on monday, and i am still stuck at DMC, whereas my visa decision have been made since on the 13th of December 2022, biometric was on the 1st of December, i have done over 10 paid calls.

At this stage I’m done emailing or calling them. Let God’s will be done.

KekeLee24:
Oh my, this is really not fair. This makes it over 30 working days since your biometrics. Sigh, I pray for you dear.

Sookiee:


Indeed! Let God’s will be done. It seems as though people who paid for priority service are the ones UKVI is acknowledging, because what is all this delay?

Visa Alert

MA and 3 dependents ( spouse and 2 children)
MA priority

Bio : 10/1/23
Collection email for MA and 2 dependent: 16/01/23.
BRP email for MA and 2 dependent: 17/1/23 (letter was actually dated 12/1/23!)

Currently awaiting email for one dependent ( 1child). I have tracked it but it says application received by DMC. I am trusting God because we plan to travel on Friday.

I have been a silent reader and would love to appreciate the effort of contributors. May God grant us all our heart desires!

The Lord will perfect it soonest. Pls don't give up

Boss0003680501:


Thank you its over 30 working days already i wish i know someone at the BHC that can help pull this out, I’m really tired, lost and depressed at this moment.

Jyde231101:
Please is there anyone awaiting Visa since first week of December 2022 that just received collection mail,BRP or refusal.. The waiting is really affecting mentally.

I'm wondering what could be exact reason for delay after several paid call and emails to escalate, what I get is an automated email telling you to wait for 15 workings days over and over. Main applicant and 3 Dependent application still at DMC after decision as been made since Dec 20th. I have made complaint directly to UKVI customer service got another automated mail to wait 20 days to investigate.

Boss0003680501:



If i had known i would have done priority, i had more time before resumption because my biometric was 1st of December 2022 and resumption is 23rd of January 2023. The funny part is decision had been made since 13th of December, what is really causing the delay I don’t even know.

Well at this stage i believe God will do the best.

Sookiee:


Same with me. I would have done priority, my resumption date has passed with 1 week and I still dey here. Passport still at DMC

Ibodlauren01:


you have no problem.... I went through the route on 26th December and they didn't ask me anything

OptimisticK:
Have you messaged SheffieldStudentTeam ?

As at yesterday they told me they will check the printing center and VAC for my documents.

I have not heard from them again.

twiceinmay01:

JaySterling:
Please guys, if someone doesn’t pickup their BRP 10 days after entering the UK, what will happen?

giselle237:
it would be returned back to home office and might be difficult to retrieve it afterwards. Happened to someone I know.
5 Months now and yet to get it although you can confirm ur status online via a share code

cutebear:
Everyone, please be very vigilant especially if you have gotten a decision but it's taking longer than usual to get your passport back. I know they will tell you to wait 10 working days after getting decision before you will get your passport but THAT IS NOT NORMAL! We all know it doesn't take that long to get your passport back. People that get a decision on the 13th working day usually get collection mail on the 15th working day.

Today made it 10 working days after decision/brp letter and I hadn't gotten my passport. I called British High Commission Abuja customer care and the staff that took my details called my mobile line later that night and was demanding 50k before he could track my passport for me. I did my bio since the first week of August so, the past 8 weeks have been from one battle to another. Luckily, my friend told me yesterday that she had a family friend in BHC so I quickly gave her my details. The feedback I got was that my passport had basically been abandoned! UKVI didn't even bother to inform BHC to print my visa. It was my friend's family friend that sent an email to UKVI and they finally approved it that same yesterday. My visa was printed and was dispatched by DHL today!!! Due to their negligence, I have already missed a lot in school and I will still miss classes of next week and a bit of upper week because one-way flight tickets for this coming week are showing 2M and above.

All I'm saying is that be vigilant! It's not normal for our passports to just be sitting in BHC office collecting dust. Infact, if it's taking longer than 3 days after decision, start sending emails and blasting them with calls. BHC o, UKVI o, all of them are incompetent!!!

OptimisticK:
I don't know if it is effective because I am yet to get my passport.

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

With regards to your enquiry about the status of your application, our records indicate a decision has been made on your application. We cannot discuss the outcome of your application on-line or by telephone.

If your visa has been granted, a visa vignette (sticker) will be stuck inside your passport allowing you to travel.

You will be contacted by VFS/TLS when your passport is ready for collection, or delivery of your passport.

Please do not attend the VAC until you have been contacted as you won’t be able to collect your passport until it is ready.


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.

Please note the information given to you on the progress of an application is dependent on the details you provide, and we can only provide the progress updates based on the application reference number given.

We do not have access to specific case information and so progress updates could be subject to change. Please wait for formal contact or a decision letter before taking any further steps.
