Hi All,
My partner had email and text today to say to collect documents from VFS Bangkok. Applied 28 April, Biometrics 4 May, had not straightforward email end May, escalated twice and wrote to MP although not clear any action taken and also had the 31 Oct email last week.
Will have to wait now until tomorrow to know if we got it or not but does look like they are trying to meet the 31 Oct deadline. Here's hoping for us all!

Just had this email from my local MP.

Dear Brandon,

I have emailed and spoken to the MPs Home Office team to ensure that they are aware of your case. I have been assured that your case has been marked as urgent and as soon as we receive a response , Maria will of course write you again.

Best wishes,
Ana

Hi,

I have noticed, everyone seems to know where Visa is being processed.
In my email that said Documents have been received by UKVI...it didn't specify which country or city its being processed in.

I applied from Nairobi, Kenya.

also...I'm at about 45days since the Email that UKVi has received my documents etc...
Am i to just sit tight and wait for an email? or am I to call and ask?
where do I call if that is the case?
