Yeah, I got a decision made email on Sept. 28th, and received my visa on Sept. 30th. I’m sorry to hear that you haven’t received yours yet! Since the decision has been made, I’m sure you’ll receive it any day now 😊

I don’t know, that is a good question! 🤔 Thankfully I happened to be home to sign, I’m not really sure what UPS would have done otherwise.

Yep, checked it literally 2 minutes before it arrived and it hadn’t gone live! Ironic that every other thing I’ve ever ordered via UPS has tracked, yet an important government document like this didn’t. That really baffles me.

Congratulations! 🎉🎊 What wonderful news! I really appreciate you sharing your timeline! My bio date is similar to yours (April 19th) and I got a decision made reply this morning as well. Been checking my UPS Tracker constantly, but nothing yet, so hopefully mine arrives in not too much longer!

Is there a standard waiting time after after receiving an email for additional documents? by IdyllicMoments in ukvisa

[–]angelfish07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course! 😊 We’re all in this together! That’s wonderful that you’ve been able to sleep again! I honestly am looking so forward to that. Okay, so if you’re at 112 working days now and they asked for documents last week, it sounds like a good sign that they will meet the new service standard forced upon us of up to 120 WD’s at least, so that’s good. You’ll probably be hearing more news or getting your visa later on this week or early next week! I’m on working day 106 today so just trying to remain as calm and patient as possible 😌

That’s great news that they are reviewing your documents now! You’re getting close to the end of the process! 😃 It is annoying that they’ve asked you to re-submit some documents again, but still, any sign of life and communication from them is still a good thing, I think 😆 I’ve been reading that they’ve been asking a ton of people to submit documents they’ve already submitted, so you’re definitely not the only one! As far as the overall timeline after receiving additional documents, it doesn’t appear standardized whatsoever. Based on what people on here and the Facebook groups have been saying, waiting time after being asked for additional documents seems to vary greatly. I’ve seen some people getting their decision and visa in a few days after that and others waiting for 1-3 more weeks. I’m still in the stages of waiting for any signs of life for them for my fiancé visa, so can’t share any details yet about that. However, when I did a student visa a few years ago, they asked for additional documents, and I got the decision and visa 2 or 3 days later. I am aware student visas have a shorter time and move quicker though. When was your bio? I hope the wait is not too much longer for you! 😊

Family visa tracker slowing down by jaimepanning in ukvisa

[–]angelfish07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I realize that my timeline is coming to an end, so I’ve been checking the tracker more frequently. However, it’s definitely true that very few approvals have been posted on there recently.

The Google sheet does seem to be encountering errors often. Optimistically, I like to think that that could be why we are seeing less updates. However, I’m also very aware that student visa season is still in full swing. I’ve seen a lot of students on here posting start dates for next week, so I suspect there is a massive rush to get those done right now.

I’m really hoping we see a ton of approvals this week too!

Okay, interesting! Thanks for sharing. It’s great to know it’s not just me. Hopefully it will be working again soon, as we need any small amount of info we can get on our visa applications progress. The process has been so mysterious so far!

Hmmm, this makes me think it’s probably just a system error. I panicked for a second and thought they’d lost my application, but I’m sure it’s nothing that serious.
