Not hoping to hear back from Sheffield till the 60 day mark.

Have a safe journey, just enjoy it now, you'll have a couple of days to settle down here before getting to work. Have fun and enjoy the positive experience now. Wrap up though, it's abit chilly here at the moment & wet.
HELLO, i also applied from Pakistan last month. did the tracker thing ever worked for you ? it shows me that not recognized error too every time.

Nope, doesn't work for me. You'll have to check via TLS/VFS I think. Not sure how that works.

My husband has recently applied from islamabad he submitted his passport and biometrics on 23 oct 2017 and i sent documents to sheffield recieved on 26th and today i have recieved my documents back after just one working day they have said they kept copies of my documents and will contact me if they require further infofmation. I am just so confused and scared if it has just been rejected already because my friends applied and recieved their documents just before they recieved decision conformation.
Does anyone know if they ring from a private number?

I applied also just recently, and like yours, mine was returned through my representative the day after HO received my original documents.

It may just mean that they have so many documents, presented in many different ways, that photocopying and returning the originals means they can keep their work surfaces less cluttered, it may, in fact, be a good sign that they are getting things sorted and it's an early sign of improvement.

i applied in september and my husband hasn't got any documents back, but maybe from this month they have started sending documents back right away. i am sure its a sign that they are more actively working on cases now. i think it shall be fine. good luck to you and your husband. hope we all get through this.

Let's hope they are beginning to turn things around. Like most now I would like to forget the whole experience if my wife can be with me in the UK this Christmas.

Mine was priority, biometrics done on 10th of October, and original documents submitted direct to sheffield the following day. I hope I would get the decision within 60 days.
