Visa approved!

Congratulations.

congratulations I received similar email from the embassy stating "your visa will be dispatched shortly....". Is this a positive response?

Yes, congrats too, bambee.
For all of you, "Let the good times roll".

Thank you @Kuya and @aposhark . This brought happy tears in my eyes. After all the heart aches and sacrifices of being away from my husband, finally I will be getting my long awaited hug. To God be all the glory!

another happy outcome

Brilliant, enjoy our wonderful land

I see you're a nurse too bambee, we like nurses

hi everyone...

can anyone help me.. I'm worry about my visa application. ...I had my biometric on the 3 June 2014...but until now I didn't receive any email or update from the embassy... I'm hoping to hearing from anyone in the forum. ...thank you

Hi jaja. I'm assuming you submitted you submitted your paperworks to VFS? If so, you will receive an SMS/Email whether they have already forwarded your application to the embassy and whether the embassy has already received your application. Nothing more after that. You will then receive another email stating that your documents should be collected ASAP after they have reviewed your application which basically takes 60 days and more. Got mine after 55 days!

They can and are taking up to 3 months. So no need to be concerned just now.

Try an email stating the date of submission and asking if they can acknowledge that they have it. They probably do and simply forgot to send the text. Explain that you opted for the SMS messaging but didn't receive that initial message.

BTW normally, once they have texted you to say that the application is with the UKBA, one doesn't normally hear from them again until the final decision has been made.

Ours visa was granted today and it took exactly 50 days including weekends and Philippine holidays, the loved one was told it could take up to 3 months when she initially applied.

It does say on the VFS site that 90% are dealt with in 60 working days, 100% 120 working days, so its likely you will be waiting up to 60 days.

You just have to be a little patient and try your best to get the visa first time.

congratulations Timmers --result !

Thanks, comes to those who wait as the saying goes. We have actually been together for over seven and a half years now so I think its time to finally get together at last

appreciate all the response...I have emailed feedback.ukph@vfshelpline.com, and received a response from them that my application and documents has been forwarded to UK VISA Immigration on the same date I lodged my application.

Good news. Now you wont hear from them for a while until they have made a decision.

Hopefully all of us waiting for our visa will get a positive response..God's will..
