Hello gurus in the house. Please who has paid for VFS passport return recently?
VFS have used GiG Logistics to send the passport and now they're texting him to come and pick up at the park.
I was honestly expecting an actual home delivery.

Cashmadam:
I'm sure you will hear from them soon. They get busy at this time with Easter and Summer travellers applying for visas.

Hi @xeexee7, congratulations!

Just trying to understand the process a bit better:

For the 2nd application (which was successful), did you receive the decision letter via email, or was it just the collection mail from VFS?

For the 1st application (which was refused), I assume you got the refusal letter by email—just confirming?

I didn’t get a letter the second time. Just a collection mail from VFS.

Yes I got the refusal letter via email.

If you didn’t get a refusal letter, there are high chances the visa was granted.
I’ve received a collection mail for a family member, and we’re trying to decide if it’s safe to go ahead and book a flight before picking up the passport.

Thanks in advance!

Cashmadam and Gurus in the house

I have another question

If I sponsor someone e.g my brother and this person refused to come back, will this affect me if I want to apply in future?

Is the news about the increase in UK visa fees commencing from 9th of April 2025 legit?

Is it possible for your study visa response to exceed 15 working days even if no NSF is sent?

Please is it possible to designate someone else to pick up passport at VFS if the person is given an authorisation letter?

I applied for my dad visit visa and the VFS have used GiG Logistics to send the passport and now they're texting him to come and pick up at the park.
Has anyone experienced this? I was honestly expecting an actual home delivery.
No choice than to go to the park now, but just need to know if it's the norm now.

Hello everyone, please I need guidance on my UK study visa application. I am currently teaching in a private school, and I got an offer to study a PGCE course. I have a study gap of 15 years which I have spent teaching. The explanation for my study gap was I need to start a family while I also again practical teaching experience to aid my future academic goals. Now, I have a family. Is this a cogent reason? and does my family constitute home ties including my teaching job in which my net salary is N246k

Thank you

Good morning house. Please I have a friend that applied to visit the UK and presented all the document for her additional income. She has a two bedroom flat generating N720,000.00 per annum apart from her salary and submitted the property document including the power of attorney between her and her estate agent with rent disbursement analysis. Please what can she do? I will also upload the page of the form where I explained everything detail.

crackcrack:
If your friend submitted property documents that CLEARLY show she earns 720k in rental income, then she should lodge a complaint with the Home Office before reapplying. She should explain that she provided information which the ECO is claiming was not provided. That’s unacceptable.

Email them at complaints@homeoffice.gov.uk.

lawrins8:
Thank you for your response. Please are they going to respond to the email and is it possible they overturn the decision? Thank you.

A very funny question here, around what time of the day does VFS send collection email. I know TLS always did in the evening. I am kind of desperate, the flight has been booked and I don’t want to adjust it. I am just hoping on today or tomorrow. I sent paid mail Last Wednesday and decision has not been made. I sent another this Monday and decision has been made. Biometric was done 14th of March. I am actually used to the application being out in 5-6 working days, reason I booked flight. Things seem to have changed.

Thank you
I’m not sure if VFS has a typical time of day for sending collection emails. Mine came in the afternoon, but I’ve also seen some sent in the morning. Note that you can only pick up between 12pm and 3pm on weekdays.

Yesterday and Monday were public holidays, so VFS staff did not work. If your visa was recently approved by UKVI, VFS might not have had the chance to print your vignette and process your passport. Hopefully, they’ll get to it by tomorrow.
