now i believe there are issues with October applications, we have to flood their mail box with complaints.

Hi everyone,

Perhaps a glimmer of hope for some. I sent another email today and I got a response to say that a decision has been made on my husband's application and we should receive the passport within 10 working days. Prior to this, all emails had stated that the application was still awaiting review. Praying for the best outcome.

Application was done over 50 WD ago.

Please, does the paid enquiry (email) have any impact on the process ? Don't know if it actually makes them to pay attention to the applicant's application.

https://ukvi.mysecurepay.co.uk/Home

The email just needs to state your intentions in a respectable tone; there’s no science to it.

Example below:

Dear Sir/Madam,

Good Afternoon and a Happy New Year to you.

I would like to know if a decision has been made on this application? The application was submitted X months ago with the biometrics done over X weeks ago. Do kindly share status.

Thank you.

Best Regards,

Your Name
