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

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
Sheffield
S3 8WA


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.

Please disregard this email if you have already submitted your documents.

Yours sincerely,

UK Decision Making Centre

•• 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
WHAT TO DO . I got less time . If my partner has to send for real then he has to recreate them again and idk when he will because he is busy at work fulltime.

The process should be generally systematic and results should come almost in a que like fashion. If there is a delay for any reason and your application is delayed then there should be an almost instant reply as to why you are waiting longer than others. This is not happening and therefore leaves people to scratch around different forums seeking out answers, wether they are there or not it's a difficult process so finding your own hope is sometimes all you have. My wife is applying from thailand non priority, we have experienced people receiving good news, people who have applied after us (non priority) from thailand. There seems to be no system here and if there is we should be made fully aware of it. I'm sure the 90 plus club would agree.

They don’t have any system at all. I can vouch that my documents are very much complete and straight forward but to maintain their records they have kept my application aside to process others who have not crossed standard timeline yet. I wonder what sort of investigation they are after which can’t be completed in 9 long months!!

If there was genuine reason I would have been atleast informed once. If CO had problem with his wife, it’s his personal life. That doesn’t give him right to play with other’s lives and separate them without giving them reason for delay. There’s a limit of harassing someone. UKVI’s Service is ridiculous and totally unacceptable for any damn reason!

However ask your partner if you are the sponser to go to the visa centre where you applied or call them to verify that this email os just automated when they open the file to work on it.
