Interested members can post their Tier 1 (General) FLR (extension) application timeslines here for the benefit of others. This will reduce clutter on the database too so you will be doing a good cause.

Please do not forget to include the following details in your post:

Do not make more than one post in the topic. If writing initial post before a decision / passport is received (i.e.- giving details of points 1 to 5 only), please edit the original post to update - do not create a new post for every update. This will help members looking for approx. timeslines to figure out end-to-end processing time of a given application(s) at one place itself.
Remember the page number of this topic that you are making your post in .. or .. use the search function to find your post in this topic.

Please refrain from chattering in this topic. To keep it high-value, please just read it and only post when you have an update to provide (timelines only).
Queries, pleasantries, off-topic posts, duplicate posts, multiple posts relating to the same application, request for updates, posts enquiring about current timelines, etc. are not be posted, will be deleted without notice, and members posting irrelevant posts in this topic that require moderators to waste their time in cleaning up the topic may have their access restricted.

We thank you for your understanding.

I think they have not stopped processing because on the 23 Sep 2013 I got my Visa. I applied on 13 June 2013 after a long time and stressful time finally got good news, I applied on the self employment and two of my clients told me that they got some verification in the start of Sep and they sent back to HO, but after reading some posts that everybody is getting letters from HO that all the application will be treated under new rule so I was worried because I did not received any such letter so finally I got all of documents with BRP. Thanks to Allah Pak, and everybody will be fine who applied before 01-10-2013 just need to pay the tax on the previous claimed points.
