Re: UK settlement visa delay 2018
Hello,
Is there anyone who applied settlement in UK, decision was made but VFS didn’t contacted the applicant?
My situation is:
application submitted: oct 2, 2018
biometrics: oct 2, 2018
Fiancée called the home office after 3 weeks of submission: says 30 working days, worse is 40 working days.
Fiancée called again the home office, says decision was made on Nov. 12, 2018.
But no update, news or anything from the VFS makati Philippines.
I’m asking my sister to visit the VFS, but I don’t know if she’ll be allowed to go in since we don’t have any confirmation or message that my passport is ready to be collected. Is there anyone here knows how it works? Do they send you a message? Call? Or not at all?
My Fiancée is arriving on Nov. 23, 2018 and we are planning to go back to UK together. We are happy that decision made but we don’t know if it’s granted or not, we didn’t hear anything at all from VFS since we submitted the application. Please help. Thank you

Re: UK settlement visa delay 2018
Hi Janu, I'm very excited to let you know that my wife and i are now living together in the uk...sorry that ive not replied sooner as we had to get things moving very quickly because you only get 1 month to get the BRP...Which my wife had to be here to collect. You can apply for an extention to the 1 month 'Right to Enter' visa at a price. So I hope you are ready to move quickly as we were...Good luck with your application and keep me informed.
Regards

Hi KJ. Miami, I think that you'll get an e'mail very shortly from VFS, as our Application centre did'nt reply to us until 3 days after the Home Office Granted our Visa.
Just be ready to collect your passport.
Good luck

Ian

Hello Indoian71,
thank you for the response. It’s more than a week now since the home office made the decision. Did you pay for an email and or SMS service? Because we didn’t add any services aside paying priority.
Thank you,
KJ

Re: UK settlement visa delay 2018
I can feel your pain as I am in the same position myself and sometimes just feel deeply saddened by all of this. I am now over 140 working days since Biometrics and have enquired 4 times and escalated. I even involved my MP and he too was provided with the same reply that they doing background checks and so on.
