I have got a mail that a decision was recieved at UK visa application centre and got dispatched. Is my visa approved or rejected?

[@sumi6947]

Hello mam. Today i've received an email from UKVI. What does this mean? Did i get my visa approve or not?? Dear sir/madam, Your application for united kingdom has been successful. This letter is not a permission to travel to Uk. What this means for you Before you travel to Uk you have to collect your visa from the visa application centre. Please do not attempt to travel to the UK until you have your visa. We will contact you when your visa is ready to collect from the visa application centre where you submitted your application.

[@The_SmartMove2UK]

If the email from the UK Home Office states that your visa application is successful then your visa is successful. However, to be double sure wait for your passport to be stamped

[@The_SmartMove2UK]

If your student visa application is still pending a decision, you will be notified of the outcome once the decision has been made. Since you applied for a priority visa, the processing time is generally faster than standard applications. However, there can still be delays due to various factors such as the complexity of your case or high application volumes.

[@Gamezone-he9ql]

Hii maam after dropping visa application in how many days we will get rejection mail if visa is rejected

[@falguniyparekh1682]

There is no define timelines.

[@The_SmartMove2UK]

Whether it is an acceptance or refusal the Authorities generally respond back in 3 to 4 weeks if you are applying from outside of UK. It also depends upon the visa category that you have applied for. If you have applied for a spouse visa the application may take around 8 weeks or more. The SmartMove2UK is always there for you if you need any advice or assistance regarding your visa application.

If you win an administrative review, does it still count that you have been refused a visa before ?

[@The_SmartMove2UK]

If you win an administrative review and your visa application is granted, the refusal will not negatively impact your visa status moving forward. The outcome of the review corrects the previous decision, so it does not count as a visa refusal once the application is approved.
