Yes, my decision was made Oct 17th, they tell me it will take 10 business days to receive documents by courier. So still waiting....

Pls is it true that if you've missed out a document that HO would always get in touch with the applicant to provide it? I have a document I need to send to fulfill the English requirement, and a customer service person has told my hubby that we can't send any document unless we are requested to. I just don't want them to make a decision without this apparently very important document.

I think it really depends on whether you get lucky and have a caseworker on your application that is lenient. Quite a few people on these forums say they were rejected because they didn't send documentation that is part of a mandatory requirement so probably not worth taking the risk. mystical2k2a kindly suggested the below approach if it helps.

Contact your local MP who has account manager assigned at UKVI and let the MP send it on your behalf.

It's less formal and someone will use their head at the other end hopefully to include it as part of the application.

You can email them but their typical responses are not something that will give you confidence the task is trusted in their possession.

I hope so.



How long have you been waiting for and where are you applying from?



It can take anywhere from 2-3 days to more than a week - not everyone gets the passport back quickly. Just hope that isn't the case for you.
I applied from Pakistan and been waiting 125 working days.

How long you been waiting?

Does anyone know on average how long non priority are taking?

Just received an email from the Visa Application Center that a decision has been made, so now I have to wait for delivery to see what the result is... 111 business days since biometrics. Fingers crossed for the world's fastest courier service and a positive outcome.

Similar situation in here too. Being away from my other half & No job for over 6months, career & education on hold, end up spending money that I don't have.
although luckily I'm staying at a family member's house, Feel like I've been tricked to come here & made to wait forever.
So the struggle is real but we gotta stay strong & not give up as that's what the home office wants.
Bless!
