UK visa delays (SA 2022)

Do you have news regarding UK visa delays? How is it being solved at your bank?I know that Barclays just offered spots at their Paris office for those who haven't received their UK visa on time.

Didn't even know that they sponsored visas in London, maybe it wasn't an issue of a delayed visa but maybe a declined visa application or someone said they won't need visa sponsorship but they do

 

Well, before brexit, europeans didn’t need a visa so it wasn’t an issue. They now need one but it’s quite easy to get. The delays are due to the Ukrainian war as the UK gov is giving priority visas…

 

when did you submit the application and how long have you been waiting for? I was told it’s been extended from 2 weeks to 6 weeks but no idea if I will actually receive it before then…

 

It’s super random.. Some of my friends got it in 4 working days, some others after 7 weeks. I just received mine yesterday and I’m starting on Monday. It took me 3 weeks

 

Wouldn't worry about internship cancellation, if covid wasn't enough to cancel them in June 2020 then this shouldn't either especially if most banks are experiencing these issues.

 

Can you give me an update once u receive it? Submitted mine around the same time and still waiting..
