I submitted my application for a QLS…
I submitted my application for a QLS check on February 24, 2026. A few days later, I was asked to upload a letter from my university to confirm that my education was conducted in English, despite this information being included in my transcript. After uploading the document to the portal, I received an update on March 5, 2026, stating that my application had been accepted for review and was awaiting a response from my university. Unfortunately, I have not received any updates since then.
I have confirmed with my university that they have not received any emails (including from spam or junk folders) from either Ecctis or the third-party verification team. When I call the Ecctis helpline at 0330 912 0040, I consistently receive the same standard response: they are unable to provide further updates.
Reading reviews on Trustpilot and other social media platforms only increases my anxiety. I am running out of time because my current visa is about to expire. I really cannot afford to wait for the full 20 days or to appeal if my application is returned as "unable to verify," which has happened to many other applicants.
I am losing hope in Ecctis, as their communication lacks transparency. It seems that Ecctis is not fulfilling its responsibilities, especially after charging such a significant fee of £265. The previous reviews indicate that my situation is not an isolated case.
I sincerely hope that Ecctis will reconsider my case and provide me with assistance or, at the very least, an update on my application.
