I know that any english certificate doesn't have expiry date but off course there is must showed issue date or exam date?
Can you confirm that when did you passed it please? example 2011, 2012,2013. Thanks.

I think they are asking for evidence of knowledge of life - isn't this the Life in UK certificate? How did you apply? NCS?

For the sake of all of us here, please no more attachments! Kindly create separate relative topic and keep this topic to timelines only.
Sounds like you getting a fair treatment though, since you haven't provided all original and/or relative documents and applied earlier then you should have had.

Apply early and blame HO for coming back so late? It's because of time wasters like these straightforward applicants suffer.

[alnuaimiuk]

Brother it's not applying earlier just like this my case complicated and I suffered a lot and there is a reason to apply early as been suggested by the home office it self due to resident problems

Guys,
Here is a message to all October applicants waiting:
The reason you haven't received your approval is because you applied in October! UK Immigration 101- never apply in a month when there are new rules! Due to the new laws on 28thOct, there was a massive surge of applications which resulted in a backlog. So your application along with SET(O&LR), SET (F&M) are all piled up in one room with no one touching it. On the other hand, January applicants have their applications nice and fresh into a new room which isn't back logged. Hence why their application is getting approved quicker!

I'm mid November applicant and still haven't heard from the HO.

Hi guys,
I've got an update to add to your statistics.
Applied on 24.10.13 via NCIS in Croydon. The fees were taken on 7.01.14 and today I received the approval dated 27.02.14.
So a little bit over 4 months.
I am glad it's all over and good luck to you all!
