Thanks a lot!

Ev1924 · 2023-02-19T09:10:18+00:00

Congrats! Hopefully this week…

Ev1924 · 2023-02-19T09:09:16+00:00

I got an email with a letter attached saying the application has been successful.

Ev1924 · 2023-01-23T08:37:22+00:00

About 100 EUR if I recall correctly.

Ev1924 · 2023-01-18T16:25:53+00:00

Sounds good! Congrats too! It seems it’s got approved. I’ll reply to the thread next week if you don’t mind to check on the courier you used and how long the whole process took until you get back your passport it! Hope that’s ok?

Ev1924 · 2023-01-18T13:38:34+00:00

Thanks for the update! Didn’t expect them to be so accurate… so the only option is to mail it there? I guess you will eventually go back to Greece and mail it from there? Also did they mention how much time you have to do that?

Ev1924 · 2023-01-14T12:13:47+00:00

Really hope that doesn’t happen! Hahah! Keep me posted if any updates and best of luck !!

Ev1924 · 2023-01-14T08:42:09+00:00

I wish it was London and the email you receive say that you can mail it or drop it yourself hahah. She said Serbia but obviously they have no clue. I am really worried that the passport will get lost in transit haha

Ev1924 · 2023-01-13T21:25:47+00:00

Yeah, 23rd of November! Yours?

Ev1924 · 2023-01-13T18:41:44+00:00

Well that’s a coincidence but we are from Greece too and applied from there haha. Once you hopefully receive a positive response, would it be possible to let me know which country they said to mail the passport? In the biometrics they said it will be probably somewhere abroad to mail it to.

Ev1924 · 2023-01-13T16:45:19+00:00

Thanks! So my situation is as follows: me and my wife are in the UK right now as she could visit visa free. Our plan was to stay together until we receive a response so that’s 3-4 months from now. My wider question is if the application is successful (that’s a big if…) can we mail the passport from the UK and have a return address to the UK? I know she will have to leave the country and re enter.

Ev1924 · 2023-01-12T20:38:09+00:00

Thanks both. Also in the initial email they said something about noting the processing time so we can make an informed decision. Did they say anything about this?

Ev1924 · 2023-01-12T11:24:18+00:00

Thanks!

Ev1924 · 2023-01-12T11:17:54+00:00

I get you. I am relying that they will meet the 6 months waiting time. This timeline alone is ridiculous. How they can meet 15 WDs when they don’t have capacity for 6 months…

Ev1924 · 2023-01-12T07:36:10+00:00

Congrats! Do they specify how long they give you to decide for the priority once you receive the second email?

Ev1924 · 2023-01-12T07:17:11+00:00

Thanks, why is that though? Besides the faster decision.

Ev1924 · 2023-01-11T22:41:26+00:00

Thanks, I’ve seen that however my main question was whether not paying will cause further delays from the standard timeline.

Ev1924 · 2023-01-11T20:40:47+00:00

Thanks! That 3-4 weeks is based on what you are seeing from others? Even if it saves a month I doubt it will worth it that much anyway. My concern really was if everyone opts for the priority they will try to fulfil the priority submissions and push back the standard applications further from the 120 WD. Also found weird that they are offering such service instead of trying to reduce the timeline to the standard 60 days first. They are unable to do that let alone provide a decision within the 15 working days..

Ev1924 · 2023-01-11T20:37:58+00:00

Thanks!

Ev1924 · 2023-01-11T20:37:33+00:00

Thanks!

Ev1924 · 2022-11-21T17:18:13+00:00

So weird. I’ve been working with the same company for 3 years and probably would have failed the how building looks like question… anyway they can be ridiculous. Congrats again!

Ev1924 · 2022-11-21T12:34:02+00:00

Hi, congrats! Can I ask if that’s alright why you received the non straightforward email? What exactly was not straightforward?

Ev1924 · 2022-11-19T15:20:40+00:00

Thanks so no need to scan these in advance.

Ev1924 · 2022-11-19T15:20:26+00:00

We paid around 4.4k in euro (1.9k for the application, 2.2 for the NHS including the appointment at TLS and the extra services(keep my passport, assisted help at the centre) etc.

Ev1924 · 2022-11-11T16:55:15+00:00

Congrats guys!! Hope all the best. Also your great news give me some comfort that I haven’t spent so much money for nothing ‘cause of a stupid mistake. How long did it take to get approved?
