CSE is ineffective, what if you have a really urgent matter? Please share advice

Hi guys

If you used CSE for something urgent you will agreee that it's ineffective. My local visa office is London-UK and I tried calling them to explain my case but the automated message says that no enquirers can be answered over the phone or in person, and it refers me to the CSE form.

I have to provide a PCC from my home country by 17th April, but it's almost impossible considering that there is a civil war back home. How did you reach CIC if you had a similar urgent matter. I mean after all the time and money I spent and all the documents I provided it's just very unreasonable for CIC to ignore CSEs and make life extremely difficult.

I mean what if you had a deadline and then something very serious happened (like you were hit by a car ) how should you inform CIC to give you more time or waive requirements?

If you submit a CSE before a deadline and the deadline passes, they will judge it by the date you submitted it, not the day they read it.

Thanks kryt0n, very helpful as usual.

But God they're so slow. I used to complain about UK speed of services but CIC are on a different level

They do not reply to all CSE. But not getting a reply does not mean they have not received it or updated your application.
Submitted a new PCC for my wife and new passport for my kid post-AOR. Never received a reply but later got to know that all these were updated to my application.
