I have ó. I applied with my daughter on the 12th of October and my port was returned on 1st of November with visa but they did not send my daughter's port. I called them to escalate the process and was told a decision has been made already. I've called them about 5 times and also sent a mail. Same response " decision has been made, your port will be available soon"


I'm so stressed out. My husband has been gone for almost two months now and we miss him.

see the reply i got from them, after telling me that i should them after 15 working days

Hello coopfortune
Maybe you should try calling them through a paid call to speak with their customer care.
Usually when you send a first paid mail, you shouldn't have to pay again for further enquiries.

Calm down, call directly if you can.
Also, did you reply the exact mail that sent the initial “escalation message”?

I saw your last message, the new 15 days ended yesterday, are they trying to tell u to wait another 15 days, will they ever decide on people who applied standard Sept, Oct and Nov.

I was at the Bank to pay my ission Deposit of 4000 pounds with at UBA with FORM A.
They Told me they can not Process the payment with a Conditional offer. Meanwhile the only condition on the offer is the Financial Condition.
So, I was wondering if this is correct/true of should i approach another Bank?

Hello house must a person be an holder with UBA before being able to make international transactions with FORM A?

Thanks bro,
Another question, is 2-3m statement good also. Self employed.

Good morning to us,
Please, after addressing my previous visa refusal in my cover letter, should I still add copy of the refusal letter to documents to be submitted to my application? Should I also the refusal letter?
Please advise me

The ECO doesn’t care about your balance, what matters is the inflow and outflow of cash running in your and make sure it correlate with the amount you stated as your income. Yes 2-3m is okay and also make sure the amount budgeted for the trip is not more than 2-3 times your disposable income.

I don’t think it is necessary because they already have all your information on their system but if you wish to.

Good morning,
I went to fill form A with union bank since on 11-11-2021, the have failed to process it for me.

Which bank processes payment of Form A fast.

Please guyz does the eco actually confirm your balance or is it just the bank statement they confirm if it original. I am really scared. I was told on the 14th of October that a decision has been made on my application and I called every day of the week throughout October and was told decision has been made just for me to go to the embassy yesterday and I was told a decision has not been made again that there system was experiencing an error throughout October. And me na after I was told decision has been made I removed money from The started spending on our rent in the UK as I am going to meet my husband who went on the 25th of September and I applied priority student dependent.
The worst is they told me there was a mistake in the application transfer that why my decision process is been delayed they are sorry for the backlog they are experiencing
That they will refund my priority fee and get back to me after 15working days

You should get a pick up mail from TLS today

I got the exact same email yesterday. Hopefully, it isn't just another way to manage us.
Since the 19th of October that a decision was made, almost a month later no port!
33 working days and counting. It is well, I believe it will be out very soon.

Please House,
How can I send another paid mail with this link
“ https://www.gov.uk/-ukvi-inside-outside-uk”
without paying again after I’ve made a payment before, because it’s asking for my card details again.

Yes, only yesterday. I hope so too. Yeah, will keep everyone posted.

I received it yesterday afternoon. It was from the paid calls to their helpline, I followed up with them early hours on Tuesday as it was 15 working days after the first escalation. I prefer the calls as there's a more human touch to it even though they don't give much away, it's still better than those generic emails.
