Please what does this one mean again? Bio August 7th..interview around August 12th. I made a paid enquiry since Sep 6th and they said decision made.
I linked my evisa, nothing there. I inquired again and they escalated on September 12th.
Today this email.....so they didn't even make any decision yet and they said they did. Na wa oooo..

OnowakpoEOto:
Has anyone use the new appointment system to book an appointment for visit visa. how long did it take before you recieve an appointment email?

About 1 week.

FactBoyz:
From what I've discovered even if you don't have a decision, you can link your account to your "EVisa" but you cannot get a share code unless you actually have a visa. I'll suggest speaking with the UKVI visa team. Getting a decision doesn't necessarily mean it's been approved.

You are right. Same thing happened to me. Still waiting on the decision letter.

TheyvidA:
That means you've not linked it. And you said you've submitted the linking. Because if you did you will first get this mail in this image here, then get another mail telling you to view it. To link it, check my previous procedure

TheyvidA, you got the visa successful email before you finally linked your evisa right? I know you said you started the process before you got decision email but couldn't proceed because u didn't have your passport.
My question is, by the time you got your passport, you already got the decision email, right?

TheyvidA:
Create a ukvi account and see if you have the 'Link your e-visa' tab. Your visa has been approved

This is what I get after I got the email that my evisa was linked. I still haven't gotten decision email.

FactBoyz:
So were you able to get a share code. We're you finally able to view it?

No, still the same. And no decision email yet. Biometrics was August 7th. I'm thinking of withdrawing my application and requesting tuition refund from my school. School already started Sep 15th. I'm tired of the back and forth and the suspense.
Does anyone know how I can go about withdrawing and requesting refunds? Because the school said refunds can be issued if visa is refused. I don't know if I can get a refund if I withdraw. Any advise please?

TheyvidA:
And you're sure you linked it? Did you submit it and got a mail that you've submitted?

Yes. I got the first email that says they are working on my evisa and then the second that says evisa ready to view or something like that.

TheyvidA:
If you have the 'Link your e-visa' page when you sign in, from my own experience, it has been approved. Go ahead with your linking. Or you can wait if you're not sure.

I linked mine without getting the approval email first. It says "we cannot show proof of your status"

Marcgrace:
I received an email notification of a decision, but it did not include a link to my e-visa. I created my account directly on the UKVI website to link it.
I have been to this VFS website to access my e-visa. https://visa.vfsglobal.com/ita/en/gbr/news/eVisas-digital-immigration-system

Did the decision email you received say visa is SUCCESSFUL before you created your UKVI account to link your e-visa?

.

TheyvidA:
So, i just did something now based on one of the comments in this thread. I created an account on Ukvi and on signing in, i saw the 'Link your e-visa to your account'. Clicked on it and it proceeded to link. Had to stop because i don't have my passport here. I have not gotten any mail yet as regards approval but i feel my application has been approved. Did my biometrics on the 21st of August. Maybe yall should try it and drop feedback here

How did this go? Did you get your passport back? Were you able to link?

Nelly02:
Hello, have you been able to link your passport this morning?

I haven't tried yet.

jintex:
I think it's positive result, pls
*when did you do your Bio?
* and when did you make the call?
Congratulations!!

Bio August 7th.
Paid query was 1 week and 3 days ago.
Thank you

I did a paid query and got a message that decision was made. It's been 1 week and still no decision email.
I proceeded to create a UKVI account based on info I got here. I was able to create the account, I was give the unique reference number and was asked to link my passport. Does this mean approval? I'm yet to link my passport. Will try this morning and see what happens. Thanks all
