From my knowledge, you don't get decision email if your application is successful. So congratulations in advance

Thank you very much for this kind wishes! I pray the outcome becomes positive

I submitted my passport and did biometrics on 22nd of Dec 2023

Got this email on 29th Dec 2023 "Thank you for your visa/entry clearance application which has been received and is under consideration. We aim to process non settlement applications within 15 working days and settlement applications within 60 working days (unless you have opted for a Priority Visa service) We are unable to resolve your application within these customer service targets, due to operational restrictions. Please be assured that we will continue to progress your application to enable a decision to be made as soon as possible.

Please do not attend the application centre until you have been contacted by the VAC."

No notification as of 10th of Jan 2024 so I wrote admin.reviewabuja@fcdo.gov.uk on the 11th of Jan requesting they kindly make decision because I should be traveling on official assignment by 25th Jan to Egypt where I also have my company, I supposed to travel on the 10th of Jan but the visa application was not processed and I attached the original tickets and the rescheuled ones for their verification.

On 12th Jan 2024 I receieved an email from TLS for passport collection. Though I requested for courier delivery from the time of application so I am awaiting for the passport to be delivered to me.

No decision email recieved from UKVI both in my inbox and junk mail.

I tracked the application on the Immigration website and it shows processed and transferred to VAC as you can see from the screenshot.

I am confused. Does it mean they cancelled the application which I didn't request they do? Does it mean the visa was refused based on my email? Does it mean the visa is granted?

I am not a first time traveler, I have traveled to 7 European countries on schengen business visa and still have valid one year multiple entry schengen business visa and I have valid Egypt Foreign Residence Permit as well. My schengen visas were gotten from Egypt because I have business ties over there too.

I have been rejected UK visa before in March 2023 because of incomplete documentations and unclear financial explanations.

But am a bit suprised that no decision email was sent and passport is being dispatched to me.

Has anyone experienced this before and what was the outcome at the end?
