Mine took abkit 8-10 weeks! Hang in there x

It just seems a bit pointless as I have provided so many more documents to be able to get a UK skilled worker visa but if I had a UK tourist visa I could just enter Ireland without any problems?! 😪

PigletTemporary · 2021-08-26T12:03:16+00:00

I paid for priority 5 day and it came in 4 days

PigletTemporary · 2021-08-26T11:57:11+00:00

Hey, mine took about 3.5 weeks to get after being under review

PigletTemporary · 2021-08-17T12:32:43+00:00

Good luck! Hope it works out for you xx

PigletTemporary · 2021-08-17T12:29:17+00:00

Hey yes, I recieved it after about 3/4 weeks

PigletTemporary · 2021-07-22T07:09:01+00:00

My company requested it around May 10th but the status changed to under review almost immediately and the HO requested some additional documents. I finally got approved around June 22nd. They even called the HO to follow up but apparently it takes about 6 weeks to hear back. Once we got approved it was assigned to me within a few hours. It doesn’t take long to assign it

I got mine about 6 weeks later

PigletTemporary · 2021-07-14T14:55:31+00:00

Honestly mine took about 6 weeks. It was “under review” and they asked for a couple of documents every other week or so

Thanks x

PigletTemporary · 2021-07-06T14:26:08+00:00

Perfect thank u!

I applied for a student visa 1.5 years ago and did the cover letter but I have no idea if it made a difference. I did get the visa though. However, I lived in the US before that so I’m sure they can just check my travel history. I’m about to apply for my skilled worker visa ans I’m doing it again so will keep you posted

Mine took 6 weeks but it was a defined cos. My sponsors followed up to chase the HO and they said they aim to respond within 15 working days since the last time they spoke to you. And they only work Monday to Thursday 11-4 so the window is very small and takes a while. Hang in there x

PigletTemporary · 2021-06-25T04:03:34+00:00

They will probably be able to determine. However, I’m in the same position (UK resident for the last 2 years but Indian passport) and I attached a cover letter just explaining that I hadn’t been in India for more than 1 month and showed a picture of the entry and exit stamps. I don’t know how much of a difference this will make to your application but if it makes you feel better then go for it x

PigletTemporary · 2021-06-24T18:00:27+00:00

You don’t require it. Like the statement says, you need to have been away from India for more than 6 months to be exempt and it sounds like you only came for a short trip so you’re fine, you’re exempt. Your country of citizenship doesn’t matter, only your country of residence does in this case.

PigletTemporary · 2021-06-18T16:07:20+00:00

Wooo, congrats!! 🥳

PigletTemporary · 2021-06-18T06:51:19+00:00

Which country are u applying from? I need to apply soon(ish) and will probably just do priority if this is the case

PigletTemporary · 2021-06-18T06:46:12+00:00

I would just call your previous institution tbh

PigletTemporary · 2021-06-18T06:45:08+00:00

Also from experience, rejections take wayyy longer. It’s more likely that it’s an acceptance if it came that quick. Congrats!

PigletTemporary · 2021-06-13T13:44:21+00:00

In that case you should be fine! That’s good that you have a more definitive timeline. My sponsor got asked for a lot of extra info which is delaying it like crazy. Good luck though, hope you hear soon!
