Sure yours wills drop this week as well, I am optimistic. My decision mail and collection mail dropped the same day after waiting for almost 3 months (May 24th).
Please my mum chose the option that the passport to be delivered to her as she can’t stand the VI stress again. Who knows if the courier can be tracked or how soon they will deliver.
Do they give tracking ID when such option is chosen pls.

If she choose the option of delivery, then dhl will pick this up and deliver within 24hrs.
You will receive a tracking mail once the passport is with dhl and track this yourself. Just ensure she is home to receive it.

[quote author=Sazifi post=115581254]Hello Haiziik, hope you’re good. Please, can I have your number or direct email that I can contact you on? I’m having a similar problem on my Tier 5 application and would love to have a conversation with you to know somethings. That’s if you don’t mind. Thanks.

Let me just share my experience because like you I have been waiting since March 15. However 5 days ago while I wrote a follow up mail on my previous paid after 2 escalations asking me to wait 15 working days, I got an email this time saying that the card used to pay for Application fee had a charge back and that an email was sent to me since April 4 asking me to make another application and payment then for the new GWF number, the initial GWF number and the evidence of payment to an email address they indicated. They told me I don't need to attend VAC again for biometric that upon receipt of the payment evidence my application will be processed.

My real issue is that apart from not seeing the mail they sent since April 4, how come each time I wrote a paid mail to track my application they kept replying that Application is being considered and awaiting decision?

Lesson: waiting since Feb 2 is absolutely abnormal and means something is wrong that you may not be aware of. May God help us.

Mrvalent:
Please how long does standard Visitor's VISA take these days.
I'm planning to leave exactly 8 weeks between my biometric and my exam date in November. Please...Will this be enough out in this period?

How many weeks is the earliest in this period for first time applicant?

Average processing time of 8 to 12 weeks. Some lucky folks get it earlier than that.

Good evening,

Well it depends on how u present Ur financials during Ur application to the VO.

From Ur yearly salary,I can deduce u earn about 100k per month (am assuming this is net and not gross)

This amount can prolly only support a single individual and u can barely save anything on it.

The best is to declare the two accounts but u will need to write cover letter about the second account and how the money was amassed. Explain the biggest amounts and set a pattern. If u have copies of receipts/ cheques to back Ur claims, u shud be good. Overall calculate the amount u want to spend on the trip. Spend like 10 days. 1.2M max (out of the 5M) should be tidy if Ur using an hotel accomodation.

Goodluck


Preshyi:
Please if you earn about 1.3m salary a year but have a personal saving of over 5m from other hustles. Will that raise eyebrows in your Visitor visa application?

Sincerely, i really dont know the reason for long delays after decision has been made. I applied for skilled worker visa, had my biometrics on 13th july, iv made a paid call and numerous paid mails. i was told a decision was made as far back as 20th July, what is now causing all this delays??

I was told to wait 10 working days for VAC to send collection mail, i did and didnt receive anything, i then called and i was told my application has now been escalated. Do escalation really work or its just a placebo because im just so confused right now.

Escalation appeared to just be a word they use randomly to assuage applicants. I want to believe there's really no co-ordination between those at the call / mail centre and those at the DMC.

The usuall Escalation Notice given by those at the call/mail center is just a numbo jumbo.

There's a form of total incompetence and lack of adequate record keeping and updating going on between TLS and UKVI at the moment.

We keep praying and keep hoping.

The unfortunate thing here is that even if there's any tkmeline given for that on their website, they seems not to be obeying their own timelines again.

You can only hope and pray you get attended to asap.

It all seems as though "there's no more cause for control because everything is under alarm" �

Visa Alert!!!
6 months standard visitor visa
TLS Ikeja

Travel history - Ghana

Biometrics date-7th July 2022.
Transfer to DMC - 7th July 2022.
Received by DMC - 12th July 2022.
Collection mail -11th August 2022.
Collected - 12th August 2022.

I submitted 6 months bank statement (Salary Account) with a balance of 670,000 on the day statement was printed but my inflows and outflows were extremely good. My total credit was about 8m and my total debit was about 7.3m for the 6 months period. I added a one-pager breakdown of every heavy inflow into my account.

I also submitted the following;
a. Introduction letter from the organization I work for
b. Leave advice letter
d. Salary review letter (Because my salary was reviewed on the 3rd month of my statement, that will help them to understand the change in my salary figure)
e. Tax clearance
f. Letter of invitation from my brother
g. My brother's BPR
h. My marriage certificate
i. My son's birth certificate (H and I is to prove I have ties here in Nigeria)

I also declared the rejection I got in 2013.

From Biometrics to collection email it was exactly 5 weeks. I also just discovered this forum a week after I submitted my application

In all grace found me.

Quick question guy to help me with this anxiety.

Do people get Visa Denial without a mail from UKVI?

I want to book ticket right away before the courier get to me because the rates i am seeing are outrageous.

So, for me i booked tickets before my husband and I received our passports. This was after my paid mail that decision has been made. Also, this was our 4th renewal, so we just went ahead and booked tickets, but we gave like 3 weeks lead time to ensure we receive out passports (which we have).

PS - This is not a recommendation, just sharing what we did as the prices of tickets for summer are off the roof right now.
