i've seen some people mention a scan date, shouldnt i have this?

Yes it will be on the confirmation letter when you do receive it I know they say can take a couple of days/weeks to be scanned but mine was received 22nd and scan date 23rd, however did take weeks to receive the confirmation letter

if you know the date and the rates then no harm in doing the uc before the letter

Congratulations, that’s amazing news!

Lj2000 · 07/05/2025 16:59

my scan date was 06/01 and was a NC, i just randomly thought I’d call today to see if there was a update and she had a decision had been made yesterday! I asked if she could tell me but said she couldn’t see only the update on one being made. do you think it’s going to be a decline as I’ve seen people say they get told over the phone, it’s been a long 17 weeks and I’m worried 🙈

so seems like there finally working through Januarys scan dates!

Think my confirmation letter was around 5/6 weeks later

I sent mine on 25/2 only got letter with scan date yesterday, and scan date on it was 26/2

TheLemonCat · 07/05/2025 21:42

NC SD 21/1

Has anyone else had this happen?!

I was given a scan date of 21/1 over the phone when getting a reference number to send extra evidence, however received a letter this week with the usual we’ve received your application, 15 weeks blah blah blah…but it says they “got it” on the 29th April!! I’m hoping they just made a simple mistake as that’s the date the letter was produced… otherwise a long wait just became a LOT longer!
