It gave me a warning saying that they would process the application based on the information provided and the 28 days would no longer apply. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laf Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 It gave me a warning saying that they would process the application based on the information provided and the 28 days would no longer apply. Yes that does sound familiar. It all happens so quickly and no record which unnerves me. I even worry the attachments won't display correctly or not be high enough resolution but I'm probably worrying unnecessarily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't even log in as all through an agent and I don't want to harass them. Seeing Ben's situation has made me super paranoid. I can't get my mind off waiting for this visa. I hate my life being in the hands of someone in this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate my life being in the hands of someone in this way. I’m lucky, we did our ourselves. My Mrs is a very experienced lawyer and I’ve just qualified so we’re pretty good with documents and evidence, but it was still a bit of a ball ache. The agent thing would have driven me to distraction. The worst part is the guessing, is it enough? Every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using an agent should really take the pressure off and give you confidence but it seems even they can mess up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have expected it to be quick at that point it’s two simple forms. Strange, and doesn’t bode well for me as mine was a complex request.

My request was for addresses and holidays past 10 years. I think because my address is now Australia so wanted my holiday list updated.

Jon the Hat Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 They must have a case management system; once they ask you for additional info, it goes into a holding queue until the time given is up or you click the button; then back into another queue awaiting further assessment, so even if it is very simple, they still have to get back to it to look at the new evidence.

Katiebobbles Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 We had 7 days to reply from a request on the 30th ..... now 16 days since uploading (did on the same day) and not a word.... I guess we are in a holding pile waiting to be re-assesed. I agreed seeing rejections is concerning but we have to hope that asking for more info means the initial assesment was ok and this is just dotting the i's and crossing the t's... that's what I am telling myself anyway ... still Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, if it were cause for concern they’d have rejected it outright or asked for a lot more stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben34uk Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 Yea like mine because they didn’t recieve anything although over 50 docs were sent they just outright refused our visa. Why they can’t just send generic email saying documents outstanding you have 7 days to respond is beyond me. Especially as it did documents submitted. All you think is it’s all received then next thing you know is you get a refusal. Utterly disgusting from embassy end. We having a nightmare 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
