UK student visa with priority delayed
Hello i have experienced delay. Mine is tier 4 student visa with priority. Its been 18 days now. And i contacted UKVI through email, they said ' your current status is that the decision has made'. I got this mail on 23/09/2019 and its 27 now. Still there is no update. I mailed UKVI again and asked me reason for escalation. I gave them the reason but the said i need to wait 15 days for the reply that its been transferred to relevant department. Im really worried

If a decision has been made then I would be going to collect my passport, not emailing UKVI.

They said the decision has been made when I contacted through mails. It’s a week now and still there is no update on dispatching of my passport.

Re: UK student visa with priority delayed
My friends were there few days back to submit their application. And I have told them to enquire about mine, they said that they are helpless. VAC will mail and send text message when passport is dispatched. I contacted UKVI again and told them this issue. They asked me to raise an escalation . And they transferred the issue to relevant department and said they will reply within 15 days. It’s already 19 days now after my biometrics.

I have applied from Cochin VFS(India). Is it possible to go there and enquire because they are letting us in only with appointment and checklist.

You don’t need to make an appointment to collect your passport.

Re: UK student visa with priority delayed
My collection point is bluedart courier service , a place known as kannur. Thats the address given. I havent got any text from them. Moreover a mail should be sent when passport is dispatched. I havent recieved that.
