UK Visa and Immigration Reviews Recenzje 

Absolutely useless and expensive. The person on the phone "Calum" didn't have a clue what to say and made up a website that of course doesn't exist. Absolutely shocking and useless service. Save your money and just use google you will get better answers.

Lady I spoke to was scummy and wanted me to use a paid service for a general enquiry insisting I went to the wrong department although I made sure to tick the right boxes

PLEASE BE AWARE! The lies about the charge of 0,04 pence per minute- if you have any type of contract network provider, you will pay no less than 0,40 pence per minute!! I tried to register my client- 42 minutes of waiting time costs me just 20£...Actually, they probably turned on the timer or played the system the same way, because minimum two of my colleagues confirmed it was 41 minute and 17 seconds of waiting time on the phone, how random...

Excellent
All staff are cooperative and supportive
Very easy system

I applied to UKVI for a simple VISIT visa for my friend with excellent eligibilty, as sponsor I paid the £100 fee and waited certain they would be soon able to visit me in UK with a return flight, and I was sponsoring them fully, and all evidenced.
After 15 weeks, I still had NO information about how long the application would take, there was no response to phone calls and email service I paid for was vague, as if it were delegated off to a foreign callcentre who had no knowledge or access to the application.
A private company would lose most of its customers if it behaved with such indifference to them. Waiting for a visa is a stressful and soul destroying experience. All UKVI seems to do is prolong it. Maybe there is a place in hell for these kinds of people.
I woudl scrap the whole service and make the staff go and get jobs which improve peoples lives rather than make them worse.
Id advise ANYBODY thinking of applying for a visa from overseas to save their money, go to Calais and make an illegal entry instead, with much better chance of sucess and better treatment.

Very unhelpful with loads of additional hidden fees. I feel like the service was sold off to a private company that now has a monopoly and no oversight over the whole thing, feels like something government lost control over this one

It took over 6 weeks with no communication about my status of my visa. I got immigration lawyers to look into it and the biometrics were NEVER sent over. This IT issue caused major delays, a LOT of lost money, and TIME I wanted to spend with my family before I moved to the UK. My parent had health issues and I couldn't go back to see him before school because of an IT issue. I reached out SO many times, with multiple pathways, and your offices have no way to contact except via phone. I even paid the ridiculous fee and they said I just have to be patient. And NO communication AT ALL about any of my status. If they just listened to me and actually escalated as they said they would, they would have seen there was an IT issue and my biometrics were not sent over. I am EXTREMELY disappointed, angry and sad. This has cause me extreme amounts of stress. I cannot say how bad this experience was. After a WEEK of being in the UK did UKVI get back to me about my "escalated case" and I already resolved my issue due to hiring LAWYERS. I am flabbergasted. Despicable.

Absolutely appalling there is nothing worse than someone who treats you like rubbish and makes you pay for it. Biometrics done on the 29th April and application submitted. I have then had to pay for the privilege of contacting them on top of the nearly £4000 I have already paid for the biometrics and application. Then I've been sent the same response for around 5months now stating that the application is being considered and awaiting a decision. The last straw was being told my case was being escalated about a hour later after submitting the information that was asked of me I get the same email as previously stated except wrongly mentioning a visit visa. I have been married nearly 5 months I'm in the UK (I'm a UK citizen) my wife is still in her home country without her passport which is being held hostage while someone decides wither or not to do their job. My advice to anyone seeking a UK visa is look to a different country if you can. You deserve better than a long wait and a lack of information with possible added cost.

My family submitted biometrics on June 29 2022. In July 2022, my family collected their passports while mine was held back. I sent a paid mail in July and I was told a decision had been made on my application. Fast-forward to today September 19, 2022; my passport is yet to be released for collection.

I suffered intense anxiety over the delay until last weekend when I read something on the Gov.UK Website that relieved my worries. Here is it:
"About our services
Processing time
Customers applying for a visa from outside the UK
90% of non-settlement applications within 3 weeks, 98% within 6 weeks and 100% within 12 weeks of the application date (where 1 week is 5 working days)"

So even though visa officers are under tremendous pressure of late, they are assuring me that I can get my passport inside 12 weeks. I look forward to this.

Are: Delay in returning my passport
This is an update on the above. My passport was finally released in the 12th week of my biometrics.
Many thanks to those who contributed to the eventual outcome.
Thank you.

applied for my wife’s name change on her ILR to match her indian passport after we got married, came back rejected after 8 weeks no reason why and then said to pay £80 if i think they’d made a mistake … then to be told we’d gone down the wrong route and sent us a link which was the exact link we’d used the first time! reapplied now over 4 months later no word from them and no refund and second application not even picked up yet you call and they charge you in the phone then cut you off! so now £100 out of pocket and got absolutely no we’re with no explanation we planned to go visit her family in india and now she is stuck this along with the evisa situation is a joke local mp and david foster now contacted as this is extremely stressful she’s been living and working here for 7+ years and all we wanted was a simple name change! to match her passport which came back in 4 days we has now missed the death of a family member her brothers wedding and the birth of her niece! due to not being able to travel until her passport and ILR card have the same details! and that’s without the evisa situation for myself!

0/5. Contacting UKVI is the worst. It'll take 25 to 30 minutes before they pick up the phone and when they do they'll either act confused as to what you are asking or they'll say that they do not know the answer to your questions and you must contact their other department instead. They have no way of transferring your call as well. It would end up you waiting for another 30 minutes to speak to their other department.

We keep on chasing UKVI because my wife's application to update her last name (after marriage) is still pending for over 6 months now but if you talk to them they can't provide any clear reason why. This resulted us to cancel our out of country trip this year to see our families which we haven't seen for 4 years now.

Terrible. Just terrible.

Arrived as a family of UK passport holders with a 10 year old from a holiday in Thailand to find we can't use the e passport queue because he's under 12. We had to queue for an hour with all foreign passport holders coughing their guts up from a Bangladeshi flight. If you didn't have COVID before you arrived, you will definitely have it by the time you collect your bags. No common sense at all in this department

My Brp was lost by delivery company and after much back and forth with both ukvi and tnt the delivery company my only option was to apply for a replacement that i had to pay for
