We are in receipt of your UK Visa Application however we are yet to receive your UK sponsor supporting documentation. Without these documents we are unable to make a full consideration of your application. Can you please ensure that your UK sponsor submits the documentation to the below address within 10 working days of this email.

Sheffield Visa Section
PO Box 3468

If you have paid for the Priority Visa Service please ensure you clearly mark on the envelope that it contains priority visa documents.

In addition to the above, please also ensure that your sponsor provides a suitably sized envelope with appropriate postage so we can return all the supporting documents to your Sponsors UK address when the assessment of the application has been completed.

If we do not receive your supporting documents within 10 working days we will make a decision based on the information we already have on file. No further request for your supporting documentation will be issued.

With all correspondence please ensure you quote the above GWF reference number.

•• i got relies like- Thank you for contacting UK Visas and Immigration International enquiry service.

In regards to your query, please note that a decision on your application still under process whilst further enquiries are being conducted.

Do i really need to send them sponsor docs again on that address ? The thing is i dont have original documentation at all . Every docs are still with them which was sent on 27th July and they received on 31stJULY.
Their email has panicked me so much idk what not has happened because of not getting proper answer from them . Even though my husband called them so many times no exact answer but either escalated or on process.

Has this occurred with anyone here ? PLEASE TELL ME

Perhaps your CO has been going through a divorce and slightly distracted. Perhaps a cup of coffee was split on a piece of paper and they've been waiting for it to dry out.

There are so many variables when it comes to visa processing that you can't compare your case to others, as you've no idea what is going on behind the scenes or what extra checks are being done. That's why we tried to dissuade the timeline thread, because comparing your own timeline to others is the way madness lies!

Just know that it it is being processed and I know it's not easy, but try not to use others timelines as a guide. I hope you hear soon.

If the person country is doing fraud are you the one going to tell him ? And we all sometime compare our timeline to other too, so that we can be encourage.

Plus they can't share the reasons sometimes, I remember one client I had who had a very lengthy processing time and we couldn't work out why - it was only afterwards that we found out that his brother shared a name with somebody on a terrorist watch list, so they had to do more in depth background checks on the brother to be sure it wasn't the same guy.

I know it's tough, but there will be a reason why others have been processed quicker than you, and it's just a waiting game unfortunately. On the plus side, it means they're carefully vetting people, so when you/your spouse come to the UK, it means it will hopefully be more safe because of it!

Best of luck, hope you hear soon.

I will keep you posted. Hope I will hear soon as this is the 23rd week!
