This reply of 3rd Nov is becoming ridiculous now!sidhujazz wrote:Just called HO and the guy said "we are are still dealing with applications from the 3rd November"
I said, i know of 4 people who have applied in Jan a week later than me, and all of them got approvals, so the 3rd Nov story doesn't make sense...?
"as i said we are dealing with the 3rd Nov applications so your application is incomplete, thank you for your call...beep beep beep"
TUT..

I've called the 0870 number a couple of times and each time received a similar response along the lines of my application still being processed and not having been assigned to a caseworker yet. It is a bit frustrating seeing people who have applied after me already in receipt of their approvals, but I guess there is nothing to do but just wait!
Best of luck to everyone. Hopefully some more approvals start rolling in!

Did you have to insist? Or she on her own spoke to another department?sidhujazz wrote:Just called the HO, the lady put me on hold for 4 minutes.
Came back and said, "I have just spoken to the relevant department and you will hear from us in 7 working days"
She didn't say approved or not...
Thanks. I tried, I wasn't this lucky, was given the usual answer "Not complete".sidhujazz wrote:My words were "its been 3 months since application I have heard nothing from the HO, I don't even know what is happening with my application, please can you update me whether its been allocated to the case worker as I have some travel plans coming up"
