Waiting time after submitting extra evidences

[sherie]

Can anyone tell me how long I have to wait for a decision after submitting extra evidence requested by the Embassy?

I received an email from the Embassy on the 13th of May requesting my husband's tax return for 2013-2014..etc. by the 3rd of June 2014.

I submitted the tax return to the Embassy on the 19th of May via LBC post courier. However 3 weeks have passed since then and still I have received no decision.

I sent the Embassy an email on the 4th of June asking them if they have received the extra evidence I sent. But as yet no reply from them.

I wouldn't worry too much just yet.
The Manila Hub doesn't work on the basis of responding to post as it arrives.

Your application would most likely have been placed on a 'work list' with a schedule to be worked sometime after 3rd June.
I'd suggest to contact again later this week.

Hi Sir Terpe, This is the email I sent to deferrals team on the 5th and 9th of June.

Dear Sir/Madam,

With regards to the email your office sent me on the 13th of May 2014 requesting additional evidence of my sponsor's tax return 2013-14. This evidence was submitted to your office on the 19th of May 2014 by LBC post courier, yet I have still received no decision from your office. Could you please tell me if you have received the evidence? And also tell me if I am liable to receive a decision in the near future? As I am very concerned to the status of my application..



I still haven't received any reply from them. Can you advise me on what should be my next course of action please?

It's just the terrible waiting game. Nothing much you can do.
If you feel so anxious then contact the Embassy.......but often their 'automated' replies just increase stress levels.

If you want to try out some unverified e-mail contact details:-

What docs did u send to them via post?

[alexis]

I sent my sponsor's P60 2 weeks ago. Sir terpe and mike, is this waiting time normal after sending addtl. evidences? Or is this due to the embassy being busy at this time of the year?

Did they ask for the original copy of p60? When my application was put on hold, they just need a scanned copy of the employment letter. I sent a scanned copy a week after they put my application on hold then after a week I got a call and email.
Hope you will hear from them soon.

It's normal.
Your application would have added to another 'work list' to be continued.

hello ! do you have any updates regarding your visa application status, after you submit your extra evidence(s)? I logged mine on the 20th of May 2014. The following day, I received an automated email saying that they received my application. Dis 10th of july I received email from Manila Deferral team.. was said that my application falls to be refused solely because we do not meet the threshold requirement.. That :
You will have to demonstrate evidence of sponsor’s employment for six continuous months before date of application in the form of bank statements, payslips and a letter of employment.

In the meantime, if by 31 July 2014, you submit any further information or document(s), it must relate directly to the reasons given above why you do not meet the income threshold requirement. It must also relate only to your circumstances, and / or those of your sponsor, as they were at the date of your application, or in the relevant period(s) prior to that date. If, on the basis of this further information or document(s), your application meets all the requirements of the Immigration Rules, a decision will be taken on your application and it will be granted. And then we gathered all of evidences that they need . I stated also that my fiancee is still on his career break from january 2013 up to now. And he will be back to his teaching on the 07 of August 2014. I already sent his P60, employment letter, bank statement, income, and etc...
