TravelRe: General UK Visa Enquiries - Part 5 by Gettipro: 12:21pm On Sep 16, 2022
I am not a first timer. It is actually a family of 4 application. I was in the UK in 2019, but my wife and kids last was in 2014. I had also lived and studied over there. I applied for longer years to circumvent the hassles of application process for sometime. Thank you.

Visit Visa? And are you a first timer?[/quote]ho[quote

author=Gettipro post=116717147]Good morning Nairalanders. I got this email yesterday. How long would it take for me to get a mail from TLS after this email below? I didn't get a mail to know if the visa was approved or refused. What could be the likely decision?

Dear..

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 with 3 months validity (from the start of your visa) 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.

Good morning my Nairalanders. I am new to the house.

I did my bio on the 25th of July.I got the below email about 2 weeks ago-It was after my second request for update using the paid mail services. Up till now, I have not gotten any response from the UKVI. Please I need superior views about what to expect and what more I can do. Guru's in the house please lend me your opinion.
Thank you

Dear

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

Your visa applications are with a decision maker and currently awaiting a decision, this is the final step before receiving your decision.

Visit visas, including standard visitor visa applications, are currently taking on average 7 weeks to process, however some applications might take longer.

We are working hard to process applications to get back to the 3-week service standard. Please access Visa decision waiting times: applications outside the UK - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk) for more information.

We completely understand how frustrating these delays are and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Please continue to check your email including your junk and spam folders for further updates.
Regards,
