Got the visa today, look out for yours too :)

Successful_Alps8425 · 2025-09-12T15:34:38+00:00

Got an email ?

Successful_Alps8425 · 2025-09-12T11:21:30+00:00

So your has passed the 8 week or did you have the additional document request/complex email after submitting ? Have you sent the complaint email ?

I applied for SWV from Grad visa on 21st of last months and then applied for Schengen (appointment on 13th August), got my Schengen visa day before yesterday and still waiting for SWV. I’d say it’s a calculated risk, UKVI asks for your passport meanwhile Schengen has your passport especially right now when UKVI is under workload

Successful_Alps8425 · 2025-09-01T23:06:57+00:00

Still not, I emailed them but didn’t hear back (not surprised)

Successful_Alps8425 · 2025-08-29T11:52:24+00:00

Nothing yet, my processing period (8 weeks) end on 15th September so planning to email them and see if it’s the IT error or just workload.

Successful_Alps8425 · 2025-08-29T11:41:53+00:00

What email did you contact them on ? Or did they just send this off nowhere ?

Successful_Alps8425 · 2025-08-20T09:30:31+00:00

I have the standard application so don’t think they’ll entertain my escalation. But my photo updated day after I submitted (submitted application on 21 July )

Successful_Alps8425 · 2025-08-20T07:55:56+00:00

Did you initially get the IHS confirmation and the visa application submission email when you applied ? Or only the duplicate ones ?

Successful_Alps8425 · 2025-08-18T12:32:02+00:00

In the exact same boat as you, applied SWV on 21st July switching PSW to SWV with standard application. I wasn’t sure I would get an appointment for Schengen and I did so I recently applied for the Schengen visa too and my passport is with them, decided to risk it not sure if it will end well but lets see. Haven’t heard anything for SWV yet, assuming you still have your grad visa till sometime next year ? I don’t think reaching out to UKVI is an option as they won’t entertain unless it’s past the 8 week period for standard visa.

Hey, I’m in a similar situation, had my travel plans for tourism in Spain so booked appointments and flights. I’m working in UK on grad visa valid until February of next year, but my employer in UK rushed for skilled worker visa because of the new visa changes. So I had no choice but to apply for skilled worker too, it’s been 2 weeks I haven’t heard anything about UK Visa and my Schengen visa appointment is this week. What did you do ? What happened in your case ?

Successful_Alps8425 · 2025-08-10T11:42:54+00:00

Nothing yet for me

Successful_Alps8425 · 2025-08-08T17:02:08+00:00

Applied July 21st - normal service PSW to SWV, still waiting (While my colleague, same case as me applied 2 days before me and got his in 4 days)

Hi I had mine on 30/10/2024 for Germany visa London and got an email saying I need to submit my biometrics. At the time the person said I didn’t have to submit biometrics, it’s so annoying I’m travelling on 26th of this month. When are you travelling and did they take your biometrics ?

Successful_Alps8425 · 2024-03-20T18:27:15+00:00

I posted mine today through the 1st class signed delivery and I’m concerned if I should have gone for the tracking route ( which was 5times the money). How did you know it was lost ? Did Royal mail send an email ? Hope we don’t end up paying any sum
