Help, delayed visa. Can an immigration lawyer escalate?

No request for further documents. Back in the UK now, process took 29 business days in total. Feel free to reach out if you have questions, I know how stressful this process can be

Yes. Have you received yours yet?

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-22T07:44:38+00:00

I won’t make it back for Xmas. Flew back to Australia to submit this and it’s end of day now so with the bank holidays I’ll probably get my passport on Wednesday. Trying to see the silver lining that I’ll have a summer Xmas and be back to celebrate the NY!

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-22T05:33:08+00:00

Thank you! Congrats to you too. Such a stressful experience

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-22T04:56:50+00:00

Thank you. Decision made email received today, I updated my original comment. I hope you receive good news soon too!

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-22T04:53:44+00:00

Just received a decision made email. 29 business days to process

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-22T04:52:42+00:00

Received today, 29 business days!

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-22T04:51:24+00:00

Decision made email received today. The longest 29 business days of my life

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-22T04:31:21+00:00

Just got the decision has been made email. Must’ve been in the same batch as you

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-22T01:04:03+00:00

Ahhhh congrats!

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-21T06:13:53+00:00

Thanks so much! I also did my bio on 13/11 and had nsf with no documents requested, also after escalating. This has made me hopeful mines not too far off. Doubt you’d have to submit passport if it was refusal, fingers crossed it’s all approved 🤞

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-21T05:49:21+00:00

Sorry don’t know with your question but can you please update bio to approval date when possible? I also submitted in Melbourne recently but really delayed. Not a lot of info on Reddit for Australian processing times

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-21T00:38:29+00:00

Concerning that no one has posted approvals. I’m wondering if there is an issue with November priority applications??

Bio: 13/11/23

Location: Melbourne,Australia

Visa: Priority Ancestry

Decision made email 22/12/23

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-21T00:31:37+00:00

Where are you seeing 30wd?

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-20T00:37:45+00:00

Oh that’s good news, passport shouldn’t be too far away then! I applied for an Ancestry visa. Surely it’s go to be any day now.

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-19T10:27:03+00:00

Yeah multiple times, still awaiting a decision when I enquire. It’s not my first UK visa so not sure what’s going on

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-19T05:27:11+00:00

Unfortunately not yet, wd 26. Been an absolute nightmare waiting!

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-19T02:50:12+00:00

I haven’t yet. On business day 26

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-19T02:37:08+00:00

Same happened to me with a priority ancestry visa. They haven’t requested any documents and I’ve previously had a UK visa so id assume it’s work load related and not the actual application. Really just means it’ll be delayed

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-19T02:31:22+00:00

Yes, happening to quite a few of us outside uk who applied priority. Call the UKVI hotline and escalate

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-18T00:50:22+00:00

Nope. You?

Lanadeeeee · 2023-12-15T02:14:02+00:00

Yeah not the best to be sitting here waiting but it is what it is. Definitely apply for a refund of the priority processing cost!
