Finally… I have great news. My long awaited 8 month wait is OVER!
To all applicants who have been waiting since the beginning of this year. Don’t despair, your time will come. Below is my complete and final timeline.

Date Applied/Docs Sent: 09/02/2012
Ack. Letter Received: 17/02/2012 (Dated 13/02/2012)
Biometrics Letter Arrived: 16/03/2012
Date Biometrics Submitted: - Liverpool PEO 27/03/2012
Contacted MP: 17/09/2012
Letter from MP: 01/10/2012
Received BRP: 11/10/2012
Passport/Docs Received from HO: 11/10/2012

I don’t know if it was thanks to my MP or just my turn had finally come and the dust was wiped off my application, either way I thank my MP and certainly not UKBA for their speedy response!

I am puzzled though as to why they had printed my maiden name on my BRP card???
I’m thinking of emailing them to have this changed. has anyone else had this problem?
Very Happy

Congrats kingishaussie!

A story of contrasting fortunes... we requested my wife's passport back for business travelling purposes also on 08/10/2012 and received only her passport back today. I seriously don't get it... it's absolute rubbish that they process in application date order as quite clearly they do not.

Official compliant on route to UKBA

I will really appreciate if anybody that applied in July can share their document version number with me. The form I completed was version 2.0.4.[/quote]

Hi there,

I've just checked the form we completed and it says 2.0.5 in the top right hand corner so I guess that's the version number? We completed this on the 10th June. We answered some questions first which amended the form to suit your application (ie; it didn't ask about us to prove our relationship as we had already done that at the fiance visa stage). We then had to fill in a few pages and yes, we got a printable PDF at the end of it which we posted off along with the payment receipt.

Keep us updated - I really hope you make some progress with your application. We'll keep our fingers crossed for you![/quote]

Hi,
i am so worried about mine now. i applied in June and the version said Version 04/2012 from the website when i downloaded. does it mean that mine is wrong as well??[/quote]

Hi, we both applied online so perhaps the version numbers are different depending on whether you completed the form online and then printed or printed and then completed.

It does seem to be very difficult to know what is right as the UKBA website and the information that comes out of the UKBA themselves is confusing at best. You could try calling them but from other posts in here it sounds like those answering the phones don't have access to the info you would want.

Hard as it is, waiting seems to be the only option for now. Once we hit the six month mark we can file complaints and see if that prompts some action. Stay in touch and fingers crossed your application makes some progress soon Very Happy

It looks like we had a different form to you but regadrless of that - how could you have completed the wrong form if it was an online application? Surely the links just lead you to the form and you complete it. You don't have an option to choose a 'wrong' version??

Keep us updated - I really hope you make some progress with your application. We'll keep our fingers crossed for you![/quote]

hi,

i noticed you applied on 10th June and i applied on 30 June. i cannot understand that how can you have 2.0.5 from the website while i found the 04/2012 from the UKBA website. this is a totally mess.
