To escalate or not to escalate.

Re: To escalate or not to escalate.
Hi everyone, Does anyone could help me explaining how do you guys ask UKVI for an escalation for a spouse visa ?
I've had applied for my visa in Brazil and Bio-metrics taken on the 26th march 2019. just got a SMS text from VFS saying my documents had been forwarded to UKVI.
in the VFS they said I should get a first email on the same or next day from UKVI saying they received my visa application and a second one when the decision was made.
but since then I never got one.
worried me and my husband decided to email them on the 1st April and got a reply saying " your application is being considered and is currently awaiting for a decision ". which was a relief that at least they got my documents and application.
but we paid for priority visa because we are in a delicate situation involved.
I'm currently 26 weeks pregnant and running out of time to take a flight back to England as everything is being planned and ready for the birth to be there.
can anyone give us a help ?
Thanks a lot!!

How long have you got before you have to fly? I'd imagine you're cutting it quite fine, but if it helps you can search the Timelines thread, just put the word 'Brazil' in to the search box and you'll get an idea of how long it's taken others who've applied from Brazil - UK Spouse Visa STRICTLY TIMELINES ONLY - NO CHAT
HTH, welcome to BE.

Re: To escalate or not to escalate.
Just wondering if would worth it to give a shot trying to escalate as the doctor said until 28 weeks before ( which is on the 25th of April )pregnancy for internacional flights. its really confusing all this visa processing time as im not sure if they even stated to look my case yet if i haven’t got any email so far.
thanks for the answer! will surely have a look on the timelines..

Re: To escalate or not to escalate.
You can escalate on the 31st “working “ day from biometrics hopefully you will get a decision made email before then.
