I called up HO and the person informed that they can't give the status until 14 weeks of SLA is completed. They are currently processing 25th feb appln it seems. Could I request people to update your status on site
www.spammer.com/uk-immigration- ... plication/
so that we will have a better clarity on timelines.....just a humble request no compulsions....
My application was received by HO on 27th Feb hence I think my appln would be very close to be assigned...fingers crossed...

They are still dealing with applications recd upto 25th Feb, and the advisors do not give any information about the status of the application, no matter what you say. This wait is killing me...too much of pressure....

Guys,
There is a quick way of finding about your application.
Call the HO and tell them that you applied xx weeks back and still have not received any reference number or any sort of details.
Please can they provide ref number.
Chances are that if your app is approved they will tell you straight away and gave you tracking number as well. ( It happned in my case)
Depends on who you get through as well.,

Got the approval letter at last. Thank u all. Applied from UK.
Application Received By HO on 26th Feb.
Ref No. 253***
This group helped me a lot.
Suggestion: If you have valid documents don't apply through any agent. It's a waste of money. Just fill the form correctly and atatch all required docs.
