Visa decision

[mark0971]

Hi all. Looking for some information please. Firstly im a 1st time user so please be kind! My fiance got an email today from VFS philippines which stated "A decision on your visa application ref *** has been made by the British embassy. Your application has been received at the uk visa application centre and is ready for collection. What does this mean, has the visa been granted or declined? I logged onto the vfs website and the status says " processed application returned to courier. Is this the normal way to be advised? Thanks guys n gals for any advise here.

Hi Mark0971. You are new so I should be kind and gentle. Hehehe!
As far as I know, it is an automated message from VFS. You wouldn't know if the visa is granted or declined until your fiancee have her passport at hand. If it is granted (which we hope is -- fingers crossed) a visa will be stamped, if it is refused a letter of refusal will also be included. It is a normal communication from VFS as part of their VIP Premium Service.

It means they have reached a decision. Fullstop. Sometimes UKBA send out an email to say that the visa is ready for collection and sometimes they dont. We didn't get such a message from the UKBA but we still got the visa.

Hi Mark, I was just wondering: did your gf not avail for the VIP Premium Service? Because as you said in your first post, when you logged in to VFS website - it said processed application: returned to courier.

[shandylove]

welcome here mark... hope everything will be alright, have faith

[mark0971]

Hello. I dont think she went for the Premium service but I could be totally wrong! I will ask her later on. thanks.

Hi Mark, I was just wondering: did your gf not avail for the VIP Premium Service? Because as you said in your first post, when you logged in to VFS website - it said processed application: returned to courier.

In VIP Premium Service, you can choose either you want your docus to be returned by a courier or you, yourself can pick the docus up in VFS. I have used VIP on my applications but I prefer to pick my docus in VFS, I love the feeling of receiving it directly from the staffs. Crazy, innit?

You can also pay for a courier even if you arent using their VIP service. Extra fee though.

To Mark 0971, Im hoping for the best for you and your partner.

aww God bless and I hope that it's a good news for the both of you x

[mark0971]

She needs to attend CFO guidance counselling and obtain a CFO sticker before she will leave Philippines. She needs that for her exit.

Congratulations mark another positive visa result It may be a good idea to have Your fiancé to have a chest X-ray to show when she arrives at the airport in the uk...it is not always asked for but if it is asked for then your fiancé has it to show it saves any hassles later on IMO

Congratulations to you and your lady, also welcome to the forum Mark.
