Hello,

I submitted my documents and application online on the 20th of July 2020.

I did my biometrics on the 18th of August 2020 and I've been waiting ever since.

Today is the 59th working day without any feedback.

Moradeyo20:
Apologies but can you provide your timeline?
When you applied
When you submitted docs
When you did BioMet?

From my research and other forums - it should take 30-40 working days from BioMet.

Hello,

How did the interview go?

Tomorrow will make it 59 working days since I submitted my application.

Good day everyone and thanks for your continued support in this forum.
Today makes it the 53rd working day and I just got a mail from UKVI for a telephone interview. Please gurus in the house what am I to expect? The interview is scheduled for the 29th of this month, it's also stated in the the mail that they'd be interviewing my husband at the same time.
Please advice.

@Justwise, @Lexusgs430 please help.

Thanks alot.

Yes you can travel.Do not fear. I travelled last month with expired TB certificate. Mine expired since April. I also know others who travelled after me too with expired TB certificate. The certificate only needs to be valid on the particular day you put in the application.

But why you no take time read backwards? It's been dealt with b4. Una no dey gree read....

Good morning house.

My Tuberculosis certificate will expire on the 30th of this month and I'm still expecting a decision to be made on my application.

Is it possible to travel with an expired TB certificate? Has anyone here traveled with an expired TB certificate before?

Thank you.

Hello House,

I did the paid email escalation and I got the response below:

"Thank you for contacting UK Visas and Immigration International Contact Centre.

With regards to your enquiry about the status of your application, I can confirm that your application is being considered and is currently awaiting a decision.

If it has been over 15 working days for non- settlement applications or 60 working days for settlement applications, please provide the following details:

Full Name
Date of Birth
GWF number
IHS number
Passport number
Place of submission
Type of Visa applied for
Date of biometrics
Nationality
E-mail address used on application:"

Mine has been over 38 working days now. Should I still respond with my details even though its been less than 60 working days?

Thank you so much.... Halleluyah!!! Finally the wait is over, l got my visa approval today. Still feels surreal. May it end in praise for everyone waiting

Congratulations!! May God perfect your move.

I did my biometrics on the 18th of August and still waiting for feedback. I recall you sent them a paid email enquiry few weeks back. What was the body of the mail you sent them before they escalated?

Congrats once again.
