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?
Is your application still inside the 60 working days timeline for non priority? If so, maybe just try to sit tight hope and pray ü. I've received an email on my 59th working day wait to let me know that they can't give decision on the given timeline but working towards it before end of 31st October.

Our decision was made over a week ago (found out over the phone, no email updates sent to us) and I'm just trying to put my worries to rest that the passport might actually be on its way back to us even though we have received no update.
I have developed anxiety and it has been through the roof through this process and I'm getting to the point where I'm almost convinced that it's lost or there's a problem.. silly I know!
Sorry for the late reply. Yes the courier just turned up at my door in the morning which was a surprise really because I checked the online tracker that morning and it came up as number unrecognised and I didn't receive any email from UKVI (still nothing at 3/10) or VFS either eventhough I had paid extra to be notified by SMS. I hope you've received your passport by now. Will be flying to the UK on the 13th. Can't wait!

Ohh that's strange, something so important you'd think they'd have sent you some kind of notification. He received the emails telling us his passport is on its was yesterday (2 weeks after making the decision) according to the courier tracker ut should be with him by Friday. About blooming time!
We feel sick/dizzy/nervous/scared all rolled into one. Just want to know the outcome!
Wishing a safe journey to you and congratulations once again xx

I received an email on 26 saying ' sponsor documentation yet to receive whilst my original every docs are still there in Sheffield which was sent on 27 july . Fast forward- i emailed plus called them and their reply was my case is now escalated and is under decision process. I didnot get any email saying they dont have my docs . even VFS confirmed that my docs are still there. Im still not convinced and worried deep inside because UK VISAS are not saying they have my docs / that email was generic.

Did you receive such email like i did?

This is what i got on 26th sep. How was yours like?



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

Send the requested doc and say in your email that these were submitted with application. To be honest you gonna wait a bit more now as your file will be placed with 6 months timeframe like many of not straitghforward cases and requested docs

Hello everyone I’m thinking that the complete to inactive status on the Visa4UK might actually have something to do with when the your application is touched by an ECO. Mine has been over three months (biometrics done June 14th) and it still says complete I’m assuming my application has not been opened yet. I know people have had theirs change to inactive months ago but still waiting for a decision I believe that maybe their applications might be under consideration once it’s changes status so some get a quicker answer based on their case while others might need extra checks so therefore taking more time.
