Hi there

Is there a telephone number to contact H.O to check the status of my Tier1 extension application? I tried 0870-606-7766and 0114-207-4077 and both refused to give a response saying that its not the correct number to check the status of my application. Is there any other number that I can call on?

0870-606-7766 which u mentioned is good to go.. u just need some patience.. it may take few minutes to few 10's of minutes.. with long introduction....

Which option to select? option one which is apparently the relevant option gives an automated message to contact 0114-207-4074 again and when you call on that number they advise you to call on 0870-606-7766. I have gone through it multiple times now.

There isn't any male voice coming up unfortunately. I kept waiting for good two mins and than someone picked up the phone and advised me to call the same number again which I did and ended up to the same thing again

It is weird indeed. I am calling from a landline number and I did try it many times actually from the last one week. The same thing happens time & time again. I am getting a bit nervous now as today is the 20th day since I submitted my application and from what I saw on trakitt is that usually successful applicants are getting their documents back within 20 days at the max.

Got it, I think the problem was with my office landline as now that I called using my mobile phone, it went through, I am on hold at the moment, fingers crossed

After a long wait, a lady picked up the phone and refused to give me an update until 14 weeks are passed. Anyone approved is getting documents back within 3 weeks. Its scary really
