when your application is received by them, they deduct the fees immediately and then send you a confirmation letter in the post. This will be followed by a biometric request letter shortly. It should take around 6-8 weeks in total under normal circumstances. Did they deduct any fees and send you the confirmation letter ?? If not you must make sure your documents are surly delivered to them and check with post. Also give HO a call immediately to confirm.

Initial applications could take much longer than 8 weeks. Tier 1 Entrepreneur route has been flooded with applicants and also abused a lot in the last few years. The HO checks are becoming quite strident and tough. If they say they have not made a decision then you have to be patient and wait. :roll:

Hello !

Visa Applied - 7 Nov 2015

Bio Metric - 24 Nov 2015

PSW Route 50k - Second Application

Its been frustating more then 13 weeks and no decision taken yet for initial application, not even a letter from HO which say it would take longer to process the application. Every time when I call them only one reply as the decision has not been taken yet so I need to wait.

Just wondering its only me in this kind of situation or they are other applicant like me in the same situation.

Thanks

It seems that a lot of people are on the same boat as you and HO probably has a backlog

Dear sabir2016,

I hope you are well.

Just wondering if you have received the biometric request ?

I'm currently on Tier 2 G which is expiring next month. I'm intending to file Tier 1 Entrepreneur on £200k in 4 weeks. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated.
