I did priority passport still not out.
Timeline
Biometrics: 18/10/19
Decision email:23/10/19
Up till now, passport still not gotten.
Called home office, no reasonable response received.
TLS has said, they’d escalate, it’s been 7 working days. No word.


I feel so frustrated right now. I don’t even have an idea what next to do. I need my passport.

Candybright:

This is no longer priority service o. This people are just eating someone's money just like that. How can 5days turn to 20days? That means we that did standard will wait for one month or 6weeks. Congratulations

Not dispatch. Pick up. To think that I paid for priority visa service and have additionally wasted money calling home office. It’s 14 working days already since decision email was received. The fact that there’s no forum/medium to petition this organization makes the situation feel all the more helpless.

cascas:





@Necky101 did you use dispatch?, as in did you indicate you want your passport dispatched to you?, cos most of the delays are with people who opted for the dispatch option.

Pennywise:


Oh. Priority is not guaranteed after paying £220. Isnt this a scam?

It’s ridiculous!!! I even went to TLS today and they said my passport isn’t ready.

Can they really try this in a saner clime?? I wish this organization is sued for damages.
The event I applied the visa for has ended today.

No, I haven’t gone to VAC, however, I had visited the Embassy, not much was done. I will go to VAC then, but would Ibe allowed into the VAC Since I have not received a collection mail?

justwise:


The delay thing is becoming common now, have you visited the visa centre to know if its there?

Someone please help answer this. Do priority visas take this long? It’s 12 working days already since I received the mail alerting me that decision has been made.

Good morning everyone.
I applied for UK business/tourist visa on priority basis to attend the ongoing world travel market. I Biometrics done on 18th Oct, Mail for decision taken received on 23/Oct, yet I have not received my passport nor gotten a mail from TLS.

I have called the home office and they asked that I wait for 15 working days to elapse stating that priority is not guaranteed.
Please who has had such an experience as I’m getting really worried. The conference has kicked off, I do not even have my passport and I have a trip slated for the 10th of Nov.

I have tried to track it but the status remains same. Today is the 8th working day since I received the mail for “decision made”. And a total of 12 working days from the day of biometrics.

I have gone to Embassy in VI, sat there and only left after I was tired. Would going to TLS help? I submitted at the Ikeja Centre.
