I juss want to ask one question because I am a first timer, I am on progress of booking Airline ticket. Will I face any obstacles at the Airport if I book One way ticket? Because my sponsor told me they will offer me a return ticket! I will appreciate your answers!

Dear ..........................................................,

UK Visas & Immigration has now assessed your UK visa application and made a decision. Your documents and

the decision will be sent back to either the UK Visa Application Centre where you applied, where we will

I got the same email today.. Biometric taken on 2nd of August and decided on 16 of August. Finger crossed and all will come through!

Hello everyone, I'm new comer in this forum. I applied for UK tier 5 visa and biometric taken on 2nd of Aug. My planned date of travel is 28 of August. I tried to track the status of my application and it shows that it has been decided since August 16. I'm still waiting for my decision letter and passport. My question is, how long it take to receive my documents and letter of decision after home office decided? And also my proposed date of arrival in UK is very close, will it be bad to reschedule it for about four days forward?.. I will appreciate your help!
