worried

[Arthur Little]

ive just checked on the status of the visa application and had this message now

" your application is ready for collection please visit the UK visa application centre where you submited your visa application to collect the same "

has anybody else had this ? does this mean visa refused ? or visa granted as its not bussines hours in manila yet i cant call them to query it any help gratefull

Worry no longer, mate! This is just one of the Embassy staff's two Standard Messages/little quirks (when everything has been dealt with) ... both of which GENERALLY mean the visa is affixed to an applicant's passport ... although [apart from the ECO] God alone knows WHY the so and so's can't simply inform the people concerned of the actual OUTCOME at the same TIME and be done with it!

i know what you mean talk about double speak and grey areas but thanks for all replies , will be calling my mahal in a few hours to tell her not to go to work and head for the VFS instead and be shouting for joy myself and being calmed down by workmates when i get a good news text from her
