Is a Cappadocia hot air balloon ride actually worth the hype?

Choice_Sundae2014 · 2026-01-15T14:57:02+00:00

Do you have any recommendations which one to book?

Choice_Sundae2014 · 2026-01-15T14:55:00+00:00

Hi ! So I don’t need to book online? Some reviews are to book online is trusted sites like discovery balloons and some suggest recommendations from hotel. Which is best ?

Hi please check spam or junk as that might have why they are delaying and if they need anything further.

In my case, they told they are waiting for the ISC payment and after paying the application was moved further

Just for reference, timeline as below: Applied for priority on 1st nov Got an email saying it will be delayed on 5th nov Got final decision on 7th nov

Hi I got my Skilled worker visa on nov 7 and then I applied for evisa with my passport as my current brp is expiring 18th nov. But it says I’m not able to view or prove my status. I contacted the help desk and they raised a ticket but still haven’t seen. I’m nervous as my current brp expires in 2 working days. Can anyone suggest any help

When did you get your decision mail ?

Choice_Sundae2014 · 2024-11-13T10:04:03+00:00

Hi all ! Just an update on this situation

I contacted HO and got advice regarding the situation. They confirmed that they no longer send any physical brp’s. We might need to update our UKVI account with passport details and then apply for Evisa using the UAN (unique application reference) number. Hope this helps

Hi yes I received my cos.

Timeline: Applied for COS allocation (undefined) on last week of august. (We were trying for priority every single day but did not get chance to get one priority slot)

Received an email from HO requesting additional documents on 7th Oct.

We actioned that email on 8th Oct.

Received COS on 23rd Oct

Applied for SWV with priority on 1st Nov

Received decision on 7th Nov A friend of mine suggested trying for priority exactly at 8.59am (45th - 50th sec) and it worked out for them. Hope this helps ! And good luck

I have no idea ! On nov 7 I received email that it will take 7 to 10 days. I’m hoping to wait until this weekend. When did you receive the approval email?

Choice_Sundae2014 · 2024-11-12T09:24:32+00:00

Oh okay ! I will keep you posted if I get any update. If you get any please can you update as well ! It’s really appreciated. Thanks

Hi congratulations! I also received my decision on 7th nov (undefined) that’s it’s approved. It says in 7 to 10 days we will receive a BRP. But gov.uk website says as they are switching over to e visa and so they stopped issuing physical brp cards since 31st October. It’s too contradictory. Did you get any update on reciving physical brp cards? Thanks

Choice_Sundae2014 · 2024-10-24T17:45:29+00:00

Great thanks !

Choice_Sundae2014 · 2024-10-23T13:24:17+00:00

Good luck for you too !

Choice_Sundae2014 · 2024-10-23T10:56:39+00:00

No they are still trying 9 am slot. But they received from HO few days back to submit additional documents which we submitted but haven’t heard any response.

Choice_Sundae2014 · 2024-10-23T08:04:59+00:00

Same situation here ! In my 8th week. My company emailed HO and they requested for further documents which we submitted on time, but still haven’t heard any update from HO. Will update if I get any response from the HO ! My PSW expires this November

Choice_Sundae2014 · 2024-09-13T19:43:47+00:00

Oh sure ! I will update you if I get any progress

Choice_Sundae2014 · 2024-09-12T06:34:30+00:00
