My UK visa application status

Upvote:6

The SMS Notification service is one of the premium services offered in some locations. It sends an SMS advisory each time a relevant, notifiable event occurs in Proviso (the visa application software).

There are about two triggers: receipt of application and decision reached. Sometimes there is a third asking you to schedule an interview (that's a bad thing). And sometimes settlement applicants have more. There are no intermediate steps like '1/3 of the way done' or 'yours is next' or 'just a little bit more'.

You signed up for the service and got the first SMS. You are presumably now waiting for the SMS telling you that a decision has been made and to collect your stuff from the VFS.

Based upon all of that plus what you wrote, your application is currently pending and that's the extent of what you will learn about it barring a Parliamentary enquiry (which resets your turn-around clock).

Extra: You used the 'airlines' tag and it might mean you are coming up to a flight date. If that's the case note that purchasing tickets in advance of a visa decision is ill-advised. This is because the UK government does not see visa applications as a formality. So the bottom line is that you have to brass it out and cancel your flights if necessary.
