Hi all,

I recently applied for a UK short visit visa for my mother-in-law. Yesterday, I received an email from UKVI stating that "the decision on your visa application has been made." Shortly after, I received another email saying "your passport and decision documents have been sent via courier."

However, we have not received any contact from the courier yet no tracking information, no delivery update, and it's now been over 24 hours. I checked the VFS tracking system:

Application tracking status: Delivered

Passport tracking status: Handed over to courier

I have two key questions:
Does this type of email indicate approval or refusal?
When I previously applied for a Skilled Worker visa (along with my family), the decision email clearly stated that our application was successful. This one doesn’t say either way, so I’m unsure.

How can I find out which courier company has the passport and when it might be delivered?
Is there a way for my mother-in-law to collect it directly from the courier’s office if we can’t wait for home delivery?

If anyone has been through something similar or can point me in the right direction for getting answers, I’d really appreciate your help.
